Objective To investigate the relationship between smoking status and exercise capacity, physical activity in daily life and health-related quality of life in physically independent, elderly (≥60 years) individuals. Design Cross-sectional, observational study. Setting Community-dwelling, elderly individuals. Participants One hundred and fifty-four elderly individuals were categorised into four groups according to their smoking status: never smokers (n = 57), passive smokers (n = 30), ex-smokers (n = 45) and current smokers (n = 22). Main outcome measures Exercise capacity [6-minute walk test (6MWT)], physical activity in daily life (step counting) and health-related quality of life [36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire] were assessed. Results Current and ex-smokers had lower mean exercise capacity compared with never smokers: 90 [standard deviation (SD) 10] % predicted, 91 (SD 12) % predicted and 100 (SD 13) % predicted distance on 6MWT, respectively [mean differences −9.8%, 95% confidence intervals (CI) −17.8 to −1.8 and −9.1%, 95% CI −15.4 to −2.7, respectively; P Conclusions Among elderly individuals, current smokers had lower exercise capacity than never smokers. Although the level of physical activity did not differ between the groups, an association was found with smoking. Tobacco exposure was associated with worse scores for the mental health dimension of SF-36 in physically independent, elderly individuals. |
