背景：死亡临近时身体机能适度下降的因素研究不足。本研究的目的是评估死亡相关的全球生活质量（QoL）和身体功能下降，并测试是否基线QoL缓和终端下降在physical functioning.Methods：四千六百五十一名死者从妇女的健康倡议研究（WHI）评定生活质量和身体功能，每年在整个5年follow-up.Results：生活质量和身体功能表现出更陡峭的下降，作为一个功能年死亡比作为一个功能的实足年龄。此外，死者在基线较高的生活质量表现出较低的生活质量在basel.Conclusion：虽然生活质量强烈下降，在终端年，其有益的影响，身体功能是显而易见的，直到生命的最后一天，接近死亡的身体功能。
Background:the factors that moderate decline in physical functioning as death approaches are understudied. This study aimed to assess death-related decline in global quality of life (QoL) and physical functioning and to test whether baseline QoL moderates terminal decline in physical functioning.Methods:four thousand six hundred and fifty-one decedents from the Women's Health Initiative Study (WHI) rated QoL and physical functioning each year throughout 5 years of follow-up.Results:both QoL and physical functioning showed a steeper decline as a function of years to death than as a function of chronological age. Moreover, decedents with higher QoL at baseline showed a less steep decline in physical functioning as death approached than those with lower QoL at baseline.Conclusion:although QoL strongly decreases across the terminal years, its beneficial influence on physical functioning is evident till the very end of life.
