TI  - The effect of physical activity on quality of life and serum glucose and 
      cholesterol levels in patients with congenital heart disease.
PG  - 53-64
AB  - As physical activity contributes to quality of life and health, we evaluated its 
      association, as measured by the Global physical activity (GPAQ) questionnaire, on 
      the quality of life (QoL) and serum glucose and cholesterol levels of patients 
      with congenital heart disease (CHD). This cross-sectional study was carried out 
      in 200 adult patients with CHD (17 to 58 years old), of whom 45 had simple 
      defects, 122 moderate defects and 33 great anatomical complexity defects. 
      Physiological complexity was defined as stage A in 74 patients, stage B in 29, 
      stage C in 86 and stage D in 11. The energy expenditure was below 600 Metabolic 
      Equivalent of Task (MET)-minutes per week in 56 (28%) patients, while 144 (72%) 
      were above 600 MET-minutes per week. Physically inactive patients with CHD were 
      significantly more dyslipidemic than active ones, but no significant differences 
      in serum glucose and cholesterol levels were observed. Logistic regression 
      analysis showed that physical activity was associated with a better QoL rating 
      [0.28 (0.10-0.17), P=0.014] and health satisfaction [0.24 (0.09-0.62), P=0.003]. 
      Physically active patients with CHD scored 7.7 and 8.9 points higher, on a 
      100-point scale, in the physical and social relationships domains respectively, 
      than physically inactive ones. No significant differences were seen in the 
      psychological and the environment domains associated with physical activity. 
      Additionally, a worse New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class (>/= 2) 
      was identified as a risk factor for dissatisfaction with health [OR 7.48, 95% CI 
      (1.55-47.14), P=0.020], having a significantly negative impact of 8.5 and 7.6, on 
      a 100-point scale, in the physical and psychological domains respectively. In 
      conclusion, physically active patients with CHD had a better QoL assessment, were 
      more satisfied with their health and scored higher in the physical and social 
      relationships domains.
