説明
<p>Objectives: The extent to which locomotive syndrome is associated with low back pain (LBP), health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and impairment of activities of daily living among elderly men and women remains poorly documented. This study evaluated associations between locomotive syndrome and both HRQOL and LBP as assessed using a questionnaire completed by elderly individuals, including some >80 years old.</p><p>Methods: We conducted a survey assessing locomotive syndrome using the loco-check, HRQOL using the Short-Form 36 questionnaire (SF-36), and LBP using the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RDQ) among individuals >60 years old. SF-36 and RDQ scores were compared between 253 subjects with and without locomotive syndrome.</p><p>Results: Fifty-seven men (48%) and 71 women (53%) were diagnosed with locomotive syndrome. Subjects of both sexes with locomotive syndrome scored significantly lower for eight items from SF-36. Physical and mental component summary scores were significantly worse in women with locomotive syndrome in their 60s and 70s. RDQ scores were significantly higher in participants with locomotive syndrome for men in their 60s and for both men and women in their 70s.</p><p>Conclusions: Locomotive syndrome was associated with impaired HRQOL and worse LBP among men and women >60 years old. Differences in HRQOL and LBP between subjects with and without locomotive syndrome were significant for both men and women in their 60s and 70s, but not in their 80s. Locomotive syndrome should be prevented to maintain HRQOL, particularly for men and women in their 60s and 70s.</p>
