Abstract

The remarkable increase in life expectancy in the 20th century implies a need to focus on factors capable of promoting a high health ­ related qual­ ity of life (HRQOL) into old age.

HRQOL is a prominent subject in clinical medicine, health services and outcomes research, and represents those parts of quality of life that directly relate to an individual’s health. It is a subjective, multidimensional concept shaped by, but not entirely dependent upon, the effects of disease and treatment [1]. Studying the relation­ ship between exercise and HRQOL is interesting
