背景：与健康相关的生活质量结构已被用来理解影响一个人健康状况的多个维度（即身体健康、心理、环境和社会关系）。为了改善年轻人与健康相关的生活质量，了解影响每个维度的因素非常重要。本文的目的是研究自闭症谱系障碍和体力活动对年轻人健康相关生活质量多个领域的影响。方法：320 名参与者（包括患有自闭症谱系障碍的年轻人）完成了一份关于他们的身体活动和健康相关生活质量的调查问卷。结果：五次多元回归显示，自闭症谱系障碍的存在可以显着预测与健康相关的整体生活质量、身体健康领域、心理领域和环境领域。此外，无论是否存在自闭症谱系障碍，体力活动都能显着预测每个领域和整体健康相关的生活质量。结论：从业者应该认识到自闭症谱系障碍患者在健康相关生活质量方面可能遇到的局限性，并利用身体活动作为改善健康相关生活质量的工具。
Background: Health-related quality of life constructs has been used to understand the multiple dimensions (i.e., physical health, psychological, environment and social relationships) that affect a person's health status. In order to improve health-related quality of life for young adults, it is important to understand the factors that influence each dimension. The purpose of this paper was to examine the influence of the presence of autism spectrum disorder and physical activity on the multiple domains of health-related quality of life for young adults. Methods: Three-hundred and twenty participants, including young adults with ASD, completed a questionnaire about their physical activity and health-related quality of life. Results: Five multiple regressions revealed that the presence of autism spectrum disorder significantly predicted overall health-related quality of life, the physical health domain, psychological domain, and the environment domain. Additionally, physical activity significantly predicted each domain and overall health-related quality of life regardless of the presence of autism spectrum disorder. Conclusion: Practitioners should recognize the limitations that individuals with autism spectrum disorder may experience regarding their health-related quality of life, and utilize physical activity as a tool for improving health-related quality of life.
