Abstract

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.

轻度新冠肺炎康复老年人的平衡能力和生活质量。

背景：在本研究中，我们旨在评估没有2019年冠状病毒疾病史（新冠肺炎）的老年人和从轻度新冠肺炎中康复的老年人的平衡能力和生活质量（QoL）.我们使用多向到达测试和定时出发（TUG）测试评估了参与者的平衡能力，并使用简式-36评估了他们的生活质量。结果：与没有新冠肺炎病史的老年人相比，那些从轻度新冠肺炎中康复的人在向前、向后、向右和向左方向的得分上没有差异（p>0.05），但TUG测试持续时间显著延长（p=0.02），生活质量降低。结论：我们的研究结果表明，轻度新冠肺炎康复的老年人平衡能力降低，生活质量差。
