Abstract

Introduction: The proportion of elderly people in India has sharply increased. According to World Population Prospects 2019, the elderly population will be around 19% by 2050. Due to this, there remains a concern about the quality of life (QOL) of the elderly. There is a scarcity of knowledge about QOL and related factors influencing the elderly population, particularly in rural areas of northern India. So, this study was conducted. Aims: To study the quality of life in the elderly aged sixty years and above using WHOQOL-BREF in rural Delhi. Methods: Cross-sectional study in the community. People aged 60 and older in the study area were enrolled using simple random sampling. A total of 195 elderly people were enrolled in the study after obtaining consent. The data was imported into MS Excel and evaluated with SPSS version 25. For descriptive and inferential statistics, p-values of 0.05 were deemed statistically significant. Results: Among the 195 participants, 40.5% were men and 59.5% were women. The proportion of married elderly was 47.7% while the rest were widowed, and 47.2% of the elderly were illiterate. Out of 195 participants, 155 were living in a joint family. Physical health (60.76±11.31), Psychological (67.90±8.71), Social relationship (90.81±12.31), and Environment domain (83.23±11.59) had the highest mean WHOQOL-BREF scores. Conclusions: The QOL score was highest in the social relationship category and lowest in the physical health category. Researchers can conduct a qualitative study in the future to determine the factors affecting quality of life.

Abstract

Introduction: With a prevalence of 25 to 90% in India, primary dysmenorrhea is a frequent ailment among women of reproductive age. Management of primary dysmenorrhea is selected from multidisciplinary options, which mainly consist of pharmacological intervention, but other alternative methods like yoga and exercise are also available. However, none of the researchers have compared the effects of yoga and exercise in primary dysmenorrhea. Aim: To compare the efficacy of yoga and structured exercises on pain, stress, quality of life and muscle performance in primary dysmenorrhea. Methods:  Forty participants were randomly divided into two groups: one for yoga and the other for structured exercises. A total of twelve sessions were conducted over a period of three weeks. The baseline assessment was conducted on the 3rd day of the menstrual cycle, while the post-test was conducted on the 3rd day of the next consecutive cycle. After data acquisition, the results were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. Result: Following the intervention, both groups demonstrated significant improvement (p < 0.05). But changes were not statistically significant between the two groups. Conclusion:  Both yoga and exercise were effective in reducing pain and stress, as well as improving quality of life and muscle performance in primary dysmenorrhea.
