Walking capacity is associated with health related quality of life and physical activity level in patients with schizophrenia: a preliminary report.

OBJECTIVES
To examine walking capacity in patients with schizophrenia and the relation with quality of life and physical activity level.


METHODS
Functional exercise capacity was measured with the 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT). To asses quality of life and physical activity levels, we used respectively the SF-36 Questionnaire and the Baecke Physical Activity Questionnaire.


RESULTS
Walking capacity was strongly related to BMI and quality of life. Physical Activity (PA) was positively related to walking capacity.


CONCLUSION
Present findings confirm that walking capacity could be a good indicator of quality of life and PA level in patients with schizophrenia.
