description | The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between modes (e.g., frequency and total time) of physical activity and health-related conditions of disabled people on their health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in Korea. This study is a cross-sectional research funded by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Data was obtained from the 2017 disability survey. A total of 6549 people with disabilities (Mage = 61.92, SD = 17.36; Male = 55.98%) were analyzed in this study. The higher the frequency of physical activity for the disabled in Korea, the more positive the HRQoL (p < 0.001). Among the elderly disabled, the higher the severity of disability and educational degree, the lower the HRQoL (all p < 0.05). Disabled people who had fewer diseases and lived an independent socio-economic and cultural life had a higher HRQoL (all p < 0.001). This study revealed different dimensions of how health-related factors influence the quality of life of people with disabilities. More attention should be paid to supporting people in being independent and active, in order to help them maintain a healthy life. Especially, the barriers to physical activity faced by disabled people are multi-layered and multifaceted. Increasing the frequency of physical activity for disabled people is not only beneficial for their physical function, but also for their HRQoL. This study enables welfare promotion for disabled people through various policies and incentives. Further, this will be an opportunity to reduce the socio-economic burden on medical and health-related services related to the disabled population. |
