Overview

Systematic review evaluates community-based physical activity's impact on quality of life among older adults, indicating significant improvements.

Key Points

  • The aim is to assess how community-based physical activity models affect the quality of life in older adults.
  • Conducted a systematic review of empirical studies including randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental designs.
  • Included studies focused on community-based physical activity programs for older adults compared to inactive controls.
  • Utilized independent data extraction and risk of bias assessment with Cochrane RoB 2 and ROBINS-I tools.
  • Thirteen studies involving 2256 older adults showed that multicomponent programs consistently improved quality of life.
  • Physical findings included a reduction in fall incidence from 51.8% to 31.4% and an increase in short physical performance scores by 0.81.
  • Psychologically, resistance and yoga interventions reduced distress by approximately 18%, while high-intensity aerobic exercise decreased depression scores by 8.6 points.
