Brief Summary

The main purposes of this study are: (1) to investigate the difference of the physical fitness, and quality of life (QOL) among different physical activity levels in post-coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients; (2) to analyze the relationships between physical activity and physical fitness and QOL in this population. The investigators predict physical activity and physical fitness remain limited in patients after CABG, and patients with higher physical activity levels will have higher QOL and physical fitness.

Conditions

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft

Keywords

physical activity; functional fitness; quality of life

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• physical activity

  The level of physical activity was evaluated by the self-administrated long form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, which was permitted by the Bureau of Health Promotion, Department of Health, R.O.C.(Taiwan). It is an instrument that estimates the weekly time spent on the performance of physical activities according to intensity, in different contexts of life (workplace, household tasks, transport and leisure). Reported minutes per week in each category were weighted by a metabolic equivalent (MET; multiples of resting energy expenditure).

  The participants were followed at one time points after operation in past 10 years

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• physical fitness

  The participants were followed at one time points after operation in past 10 years

• quality of life

  The participants were followed at one time points after operation in past 10 years

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 20 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
