| description | Background In this study, we aimed to assess the ability to balance and quality of life (QoL) among older adults without a history of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and those who had recovered from mild COVID-19. Methods We recruited 80 older adults and categorized them into the following two groups based on their history of COVID-19: those without COVID-19 (n=40) and those who had recovered from mild COVID-19 (n=40). We assessed the participants’ ability to balance using the multi-directional reach test and timed up and go (TUG) test, and evaluated their QoL using the Short Form‐36. Results Compared with older adults without a history of COVID-19, those who had recovered from mild COVID-19 demonstrated no differences in the scores of the forward, backward, right, and left directions (p>0.05), but a significantly longer duration for the TUG test (p=0.02) and a reduced QoL. Conclusion Our study results demonstrated decreased ability to balance and poor QoL among older adults who had recovered from mild COVID-19. |
