RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, ANTHROPOMETRY, AND FORCED EXPIRATORY VOLUME IN ONE SECOND WITH 6-MINUTE WALK DISTANCE IN ELDERLY
ABSTRACT: To examine the
correlation between physical activity using the Global Physical Activity
Questionnaire (GPAQ), anthropometry (body mass index/BMI), and forced
expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) value with six-minute walk distance in
healthy community-dwelling elderly.
Methods: A cross-sectional design study with consecutive sampling was
conducted. This study included sixty nine participants (30 males and 39
females), aged ≥60 years who lives at Batununggal region in Bandung, Indonesia.
The data was analyzed statistically by using normality, correlation, and
multiple regresion tests.
Results: The results showed that there was a correlation between
six-minute walk distance and BMI in females (p=0.006), and FEV1 value in males
(p=0.010). No significant correlation was found between GPAQ value and
six-minute walk distance in females (p=0.4074) and in males (p=0.0926).
Conclusions: There was a correlation between anthropometry and FEV1 value
with six-minute walk distance in healthy elderly. There was no significant
correlation between physical activity and six-minute walk distance.
Keywords: Anthropometric
measurement, FEV1, physical activity, six-minute walk distance
