Are Exercise Capacity and Physical Fitness Related With Quality of Life, Physical Activity, Cognitive Health and Health Literacy in Dyslipidemia

Summary

There is insufficient literature explaining the relationship between exercise capacity and physical fitness of dyslipidemia patients and quality of life, cognitive status and health literacy. Our aim with this study is to provide more information to the scientific literature about the relationship between exercise capacity and physical fitness and quality of life and health literacy in dyslipidemia patients.

Exercise Capacity Assessment

To examine the relationship between exercise capacity and physical fitness of dyslipidemia patients and quality of life, cognitive status and health literacy.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Physical Fitness Assessment

* 1-Minute Sit-to-Stand Test: Participants will be asked to sit down and stand up for 1 minute without pausing, and the repetition number will be recorded. * Timed Up-and-Go Test: Participants will be asked to get up, walk a distance of 3 meters, return and sit down again. The time spent during this track will be recorded. * Peripheral muscle strength assessment: Participants will be asked to resist the resistance by producing maximum isometric force during the movement, and the maximal force will be evaluated with a dynamometer. The quadriceps femoris muscle, shoulder abductor muscles and hand grip strength will be used for the assessment. * Flexibility assessment: Participants will be asked to reach towards the tips of their toes while sitting. During this time, the distance between the participant's fingertips and toes will be measured.

Quality of Life Assessment

Participants' quality of life will be assessed with the Turkish version of the Short Form Quality of Life Questionnaire (SF-36). The questionnaire consists of 36 questions that examine quality of life from different perspectives. It examines quality of life in the subcategories of physical function, physical role difficulty, pain, general health, vitality (energy), social function, emotional role difficulty and mental health. The score for each category varies between 0-100, with a high score indicating a good quality of life.

OTHER

Physical Activity Assessment

Participants' physical activity level will be assessed with the Turkish version of the International Physical Activity Scale - Short Form (IPAQ-SF). The IPAQ-SF evaluates the physical activities of the participants in the last 7 days based on sitting time, walking time, moderate and vigorous physical activities.

OTHER

Cognitive Health Assessment

Participants' cognitive health will be assessed with the with the Turkish version of the Mini Mental State Examine (MMSE). The test is scored between 0-30. Scores of 25 and above are considered normal. A total score of less than 10 indicates severe impairment. Scores between 10-19 indicate moderate dementia. Scores between 19-24 indicate early dementia.

OTHER

Health Literacy Assessment

Participants' health literacy will be assessed with the Turkish version of the HLS-EU-47 health literacy survey. The survey consists of 47 questions. Each item is assessed with one of the following options: Very difficult (1), difficult (2), easy (3), very easy (4) and I don't know. A high total score indicates good health literacy. A total score of 0-25 points indicates insufficient health literacy, \>25-33: problematic - limited health literacy, \>33-42: sufficient health literacy, \>42-50: excellent health literacy.
