THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVEL WITH FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY, CARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTORS, MENOPAUSAL SYMPTOMS AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN POSTMENOPOSAL WOMEN

Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: In our study, the relation of physical activity level with functional capacity, cardiovascular risk factors, menopausal symptoms and quality of life was investigated in postmenopausal women. Methods: 84 women in the postmenopausal period, between the ages of 45-75, were included in our study. Demographic information of the participants was received. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) for determination of physical activity level and 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) for assessment of functional capacity were used. Cardiovascular risks were questioned, and Framingham Risk Score calculated. Menopausal symptoms were evaluated by the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS). Quality of life was assessed with Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) and Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Scale (MSQL). Results: There was no statistically significant relationship between IPAQ with 6MWT, MRS, Framingham score, NHP and MSQL (p> 0.05). A statistically significant correlation was found between the 6MWT distance and the Framingham Score (r=-0.467) and the vasomotor dimension variable of the MSQL (r=0.261) (p <0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that the level of physical activity in postmenopausal women included in our study was not associated with functional capacity, cardiovascular risk factors, menopausal symptoms, and quality of life, and that there was a relationship between functional capacity and cardiovascular risk factor and vasomotor menopausal symptoms.

POSTMENOPOZAL KADINLARDA FİZİKSEL AKTİVİTE DÜZEYİNİN FONKSİYONEL KAPASİTE, KARDİYOVASKÜLER RİSK FAKTÖRLERİ, MENOPOZAL SEMPTOMLAR VE YAŞAM KALİTESİ İLE İLİŞKİSİ

Öz

ÖZ Amaç: Çalışmamızda postmenopozal dönemdeki kadınların fiziksel aktivite düzeyinin fonksiyonel kapasite, kardiyovasküler risk faktörleri, menopozal semptomlar ve yaşam kalitesi ile ilişkisi incelenmiştir. Yöntem: Çalışmamıza 45-75 yaş aralığında, postmenopozal dönemde olan 84 kadın dahil edildi. Katılımcıların demografik bilgileri alındı. Fiziksel aktivite düzeyinin belirlenmesinde Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi (IPAQ) kısa formu ve fonksiyonel kapasitenin belirlenmesinde 6 Dakika Yürüme Testi (6DYT) kullanıldı. Kardiyovasküler riskler sorgulandı ve Framingham Risk Skoru ile değerlendirildi. Menopoz Semptomlarını Değerlendirme Ölçeği (MSDÖ) ile menopoz semptomları değerlendirilirken, yaşam kalitesi değerlendirmesinde Nottingham Sağlık Profili (NSP) ve Menopoza Özgü Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği (MÖYKÖ)’nden yararlanıldı. Bulgular: Yapılan değerlendirmeler sonucunda; IPAQ ile 6DYT, Framingham skoru, MSDÖ, NSP ve MÖYKÖ arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki bulunamamıştır (p>0,05). 6DYT mesafesi ile Framingham Skoru (r=-0,467) ve MÖYKÖ vazomotor boyut değişkeni (r=0,261) arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Sonuç: Çalışmamıza dahil edilen postmenopozal kadınlarda fiziksel aktivite düzeyinin fonksiyonel kapasite, kardiyovasküler risk faktörleri, menopozal semptomlar ve yaşam kalitesi ile ilişkili olmadığı; fonksiyonel kapasite ile kardiyovasküler risk faktörü ve vazomotor menopoz semptomu arasında ilişki olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
