目的：本研究的目的是检查耳鸣严重程度对生活质量（QOL）的影响，以及体力活动对耳鸣严重程度和QOL的益处。作者假设：（1）生活质量与耳鸣严重程度呈负相关，（2）体力活动与耳鸣严重程度呈负相关，（3）耳鸣严重程度和体力活动对生活质量有显著的独立影响，（4）体力活动对耳鸣严重程度有显著的独立影响。1030人发起了调查。由于数据不完整，约40%的答复未纳入数据分析。调查中包括以下指标：Tinnessy功能指数、Godin休闲时间锻炼问题、医疗结局研究36项简表（身体成分评分[PCS];心理成分评分[MCS]）和生活满意度量表（SWLS）。描述性统计，皮尔逊相关性，多元线性回归分析carried.Results：更高水平的体力活动显着相关的改善健康相关的和全球生活质量和耳鸣的严重程度较低的水平。耳鸣严重程度（12.3%SWLS，3.8%PCS和21.2%MCS）和体力活动（1.1%SWLS，5.8%PCS和1.1%MCS）在QOL测量中占显著的独特变化。体力活动占（0.8% Tinningfunctional Index）显著独特的变化，耳鸣severity.Conclusions：体力活动有一个小的，但统计学显着相关性与生活质量和耳鸣困扰。我们的研究结果表明，体力活动可能是耳鸣患者的一种管理策略，但需要进一步测试以评估体力活动和耳鸣严重程度之间的关系。
Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine the effects of tinnitus severity on quality of life (QOL) and the benefits physical activity may have on tinnitus severity and QOL. The authors hypothesized that (1) QOL would be negatively correlated with tinnitus severity, (2) physical activity would be negatively correlated with tinnitus severity, (3) tinnitus severity and physical activity would have significant independent effects on QOL, and (4) physical activity would have significant and independent effects on tinnitus severity.Design: An online survey was used to collect data from adults with tinnitus; 1030 individuals initiated the survey. Approximately 40% of responses were not included in data analysis due to incomplete data. The following measures were included in the survey: the Tinnitus Functional Index, the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Question, the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item short form (Physical Component Score [PCS]; Mental Component Score [MCS]), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted.Results: Higher levels of physical activity were significantly associated with improved health-related and global QOL and lower levels of tinnitus severity. Both tinnitus severity (12.3% SWLS, 3.8% PCS, and 21.2% MCS) and physical activity (1.1% SWLS, 5.8% PCS, and 1.1% MCS) accounted for significant unique variations in the QOL measures. Physical activity accounted (0.8% Tinnitus Functional Index) for significant unique variation in tinnitus severity.Conclusions: Physical activity had a small but statistically significant correlation with QOL and tinnitus distress. Our results suggest that physical activity may be a management strategy for those with tinnitus, but further testing is necessary to assess the relationship between physical activity and tinnitus severity.
