目的：研究133名不同绝经状态的女性(男51.12岁，女4.10岁)的体力活动(PA)、症状报告、自尊和生活满意度(SWL)之间的关系。结果：多因素协方差分析(MANCOVA)显示，与绝经状态无关，体力活动越多的女性，其严重的血管躯体症状和一般躯体症状越轻，身体自我价值感(PSW)水平越高。随后的分层回归分析表明，每周花费的MET-h、报告的症状(频率和严重程度)和PSW在SWL中解释了显著的差异(R-2模型=0.32，症状频率，0.33，症状严重程度)。体力活动通过PSW的中介作用与SWL显著相关。然而，在控制PSW后，报告的症状频率和严重程度仍然与SWL显著相关，尽管最初的相关性显著降低。结论：体力活动可以降低更年期症状的严重程度，提高心理幸福感，中年女性体力活动与生活质量的关系可能通过身体自我知觉和更年期症状等因素起中介作用。(C)2005爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司。保留所有权利。
Objective: The present study examined the relationships among physical activity (PA), symptom reporting, self-esteem, and satisfaction with life (SWL) in 133 women (M age = 51.12, S.D. = 4. 10) of varying menopausal status.Results: Multivariate, analyses of co-variance (MANCOVA) revealed that independent of menopausal status, women who were more physically active reported significantly less severe vaso-somatic and general somatic symptoms, and higher levels of physical self-worth (PSW). Subsequent hierarchical regression analyses indicated that expended MET-h/week, reported symptoms (frequency and severity, respectively), and PSW accounted for significant variance in SWL (R-2 model = 0.32, for symptom frequency, and 0.33, for symptom severity). Physical activity was significantly related to SWL through the mediation of PSW. However, both reported symptom frequency and severity retained significant association with SWL after controlling for PSW, although the original associations were significantly reduced. Finally, both symptoms and MET-h/week were independent contributors to the variance in PSW (R-2 model= 0.33 and 0.34).Conclusion: The results suggest that being physically active may reduce perceived severity of menopausal symptoms and enhance psychological well-being, and that the relationship between physical activity and QOL in mid-life women may be mediated by factors such as physical self-perceptions and menopausal symptoms.
