| description | Abstract Objective To examine the relationship between physical activity (PA) and the aging male symptoms of middle-aged men in the quality of life (QOL). Methodology: Cross-sectional study with a probabilistic samples of 416 men (40-59 years old), all residents in two cities in southern of Brazil. A questionnaire was used. The studied population was divided into two groups: with and without symptoms. The analyses were carried out in a descriptive and inferential approaches. Results: Aging male symptoms were related to QOL. Men who perceive their overall QOL as good presented a13% lower probability of (95%CI = 0.77-0.98) being insufficiently active. For those with symptoms, QOL scores were higher in social and environmental domain in PA between 30-60 min/day, and the physical domain for more than 60min/day. Conclusion: Our findings show the importance of PA to achieve significant benefits in QOL and health of men in middle age with aging male symptoms. |
