简要总结
Quality of life encompasses various aspects of well-being, including emotional responses, outlook, fulfillment, and satisfaction with work and relationships. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a key component, reflecting perceptions of physical and mental well-being over time. Social interactions and mental health play a significant role in college students’ performance and learning. The SF-36 survey is commonly used to assess health related quality of life (HRQoL), measuring eight dimensions of health and well-being. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs), particularly spirometry, are important for assessing lung health and can be influenced by lifestyle factors like exercise and sedentary behavior. A previous study found out that poorer PFT performance in sedentary individuals compared to athletes. College students’ physical activity levels impact their quality of life, and thus this study aims to explore the correlation between pulmonary function and health related quality of life in college students.
