Assess relationships between measures of activity with dyspnea and satisfaction with life in chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) Cross-sectional survey Five SCI centers Between 7/2012–3/2015, 347 subjects with traumatic SCI ≥ 1 year after injury who used a manual wheelchair or walked with or without an assistive device reported hours spent away from home or yard on the previous 3 days, sports participation, and planned exercise. Not applicable Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). Dyspnea was defined as shortness of breath when hurrying on the level or going up a slight hill, or going slower than people the same age on the level because of breathlessness, or stopping for breath when going at your own pace, or after about 100 yards (or after a few minutes) on the level. Dyspnea prevalence was 30.0%. Adjusting for asthma or COPD, mobility mode, race, and season, there was a significant linear trend between greater SWLS and quartiles of time spent away from the home or yard (p=0.0002). SWLS was greater if participating in organized sports (p=0.010), although not significantly with planned exercise (p=0.093). Planned exercise was associated with a reduced odds ratio (OR) of dyspnea (0.57; 95% CI=0.34, 0.95; p=0.032), although not with organized sports (p=0.265). Dyspnea was not significantly increased in persons who spent the fewest hours outside their home or yard (≤7 hours) compared to the most time (>23 hours) (OR=1.69; 95%CI=0.83, 3.44, p=0.145). In SCI, a planned exercise program is associated with less dyspnea. An active lifestyle characterized by greater time spent away from home or yard and sports participation is associated with greater SWLS.
