Effects of Exercise on Pain and Health-Related Quality of Life in Older Females with Arthritis

What is it about?

Arthritis is a chronic condition that affects many older females, causes pain, and negatively affects health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The aim of this cross-sectional study is to determine health outcomes in active versus inactive females aged 65 or older with arthritis. This study specifically focuses on whether active older females with arthritis have low levels of joint pain and higher HRQoL compared to inactive older females with arthritis.
