Quality of Life in European Adults and Older with All-Over Pain: Relationship with Frequency of Moderate and Vigorous Physical Activity and Decision Prediction Models with Cross-Sectional Data.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

Quality of life (QoL) is negatively affected in people with all-over pain. Widespread pain has a negative impact on physical function, cognitive function, mental health and mood. Physical activity (PA) may help to improve the QoL in these people. This study aimed to assess the relationships between PA frequency (PAF) and QoL in middle-aged and older European people with all-over pain, in addition to developing and analyzing the performance of a classification and regression tree model (CRT) to predict QoL in this population.

Methods

A cross-sectional study of 1025 middle-aged and older European individuals with all-over pain. Relationships between moderate and vigorous PAF and QoL were assessed. A predictive algorithm for QoL was developed using CRT ana
