背景：高血压（HTN），影响超过6500万美国人，与健康相关的生活质量（HRQOL）差。有规律的体力活动（PA）已被证明可以降低血压，并与更高水平的HRQOL相关。使用来自60，321名18岁或以上的高血压成年人的自我报告，他们参加了2003年的行为风险因素监测调查，我们研究了参与推荐水平的中度或剧烈PA与中心开发的四项HRQOL指标之间的独立关系疾病控制和预防。结果：对于所有年龄和种族/民族群体和男女，在过去的一个月里，高血压成人与14个或更多的不健康的日子（身体或精神）的比例显着低于那些谁达到推荐水平的PA比身体不活跃的adults.CONCLUSIONS：参与定期PA是几种生活方式的策略之一，可用于控制和预防HTN。这些结果表明，PA与HTN成年人的HRQOL水平较高相关，并强调了促进定期PA参与的健康计划的重要性。
BACKGROUND: Hypertension (HTN), which affects more than 65 million Americans, is associated with poor health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Regular physical activity (PA) has been shown to reduce blood pressure and is associated with higher levels of HRQOL.METHODS: Using self-reports from 60,321 hypertensive adults age 18 y or older who participated in the 2003 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, we examined the independent relationship between engaging in recommended levels of moderate or vigorous PA and four measures of HRQOL developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.RESULTS: For all age and racial/ethnic groups and both sexes, the proportion of hypertensive adults with 14 or more unhealthy days (physical or mental) in the past month was significantly lower among those who attained recommended levels of PA than among physically inactive adults.CONCLUSIONS: Participation in regular PA is one of several lifestyle strategies available to control and prevent HTN. These results suggest that PA is associated with higher levels of HRQOL among adults with HTN and highlight the importance of health programs that promote participation in regular PA.
