The Relation between Physical Activity and Nutrition Status with Quality of Life and Some of the Serum Biochemical Indexes of Middle-age Women in Health Homes and Centers of Kamyaran City, 2017.

Abstract

Introduction:Middle aged people because of their lack of physical activity and poor nutrition in their daily life are suffering from obesity and ultimately suffering from chronic diseases, which can lead to reduced self-esteem, mental health, life satisfaction and quality of life. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the relationship between physical activity and nutritional status with quality of life and some of the serum biochemical indicators in middle-aged women of health centers of Kamyaran city in 1396. Methods and materials: The present study was a descriptive-correlational cross-sectional study conducted on 164 middle-aged women in Kamyaran province. Sampling in this study was done by two-stage cluster sampling and randomly from bases and health centers. Demographic, anthropometric, midwifery, international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) and quality of life questionnaire (WHO-QOL) were used to collect data. In a private environment, the weight, height, waist circumference and hip circumference and BMI of the participants were measured and recorded. The 24-hour food registration form was given to the volunteers to complete it at home in 2 days of non-relaxation and a day off. Fasting blood samples were taken to measure serum biochemical parameters including fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, insulin resistance, calcium and 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Pearson correlation, Spearman, multiple linear regression, independent t-test and one-way ANOVA were used for data analysis. Result: There was a significant correlation between the overall quality of life score and its sub-domains with the overall score of physical activity, fat, protein, energy, saturated fatty acid content and waist to hip ratio (P <0.05). Significant and inverse correlation was found between the mean serum FBS with light activity (P = 0.020). Significant correlation was found between serum triglyceride and received fiber (P = 0.022) and serum cholesterol (P = 0.027). There was a significant correlation between waist circumference and BMI (P <0.05). There was a significant correlation between the total score of quality of life with age, education, consumption rate, number of children (P <0.05). Between fasting blood glucose and regularity of period (P = 0.026) and number of children (P= 0.042), Between vitamin D and regularity of periods (P = 0.076), Between calcium and activity level at home (P = 0.027), There was a correlation between HDL with premenstrual symptoms (P = 0.027) and vitamin D supplementation (P = 0.096) There was a significant correlation between Triglyceride with occupation (P = 0.049) and P (P = 0.023), and between total cholesterol and premenstrual symptoms (P = 0.037). Conclusion: The results of this study showed a direct and significant correlation between quality of life with total score of physical activity, fat, protein, energy, saturated fatty acid and waist to hip ratio, between light activity with FBS. Between triglycerides with fiber, between vitamin D and cholesterol, and between HOMA-IR and waist circumference and BMI.
