Pulmonary Function, Functional Exercise Capacity and Quality of Life in Chemical Dependents in Rehabilitation Process
View through CrossRef
AbstractThe use of illicit substances can lead to several changes in physical and mental health, which can directly reflect on functional capacity and quality of life. However, there is a lack in the literature on the comparison of these variables between drug addicts and healthy individuals. To compare lung function, functional exercise capacity and quality of life of chemical dependents in rehabilitation process (CDRP) and apparently healthy individuals (AHI). Cross-sectional study that evaluated two groups (CDRP and AHI) matched by gender, age and BMI. Both groups were assessed for lung function (spirometry), quality of life (Short Form 36 questionnaire - SF-36), functional exercise capacity (6-minute walk test - 6MWT, 4-meter gait speed, Timed-up-and-go, Sit-to-Stand and Short Physical Performance Battery). Fifteen men in the CDRP group (31[26-39] years; BMI 23±3 kg/m2) and fifteen men in the AHI group (30[22-34] years; BMI 24±3 kg/m2) were analyzed. The CDRP group had a shorter distance covered in the 6MWT in meters (P=0.0002) and percentage of predicted (P=0.005). There was no difference in the performance of the other functional tests (P≥0.20) and in the pulmonary function (P≥0.46). The CDRP group had worse results in the functional capacity, pain, social aspects and mental health domains of SF-36 (P≤0.04), while in the domains general status, vitality, emotional and physical aspects there was no difference (P≥0.08). CDRP present similar lung function to AHI. However, the first have impaired functional exercise capacity, as well as some aspects of quality of life.

Foram analisados 15 homens no grupo DQPR (31[26-39] anos; IMC 23±3 kg/m2) e 15 homens no grupo AS (30[22-34] anos; IMC 24±3 kg/m2).

O grupo DQPR apresentou piores resultados nos domínios capacidade funcional, dor, aspectos sociais e saúde mental do SF-36 (P≤0,04), enquanto que nos domínios estado geral, vitalidade, aspectos emocionais e físicos não houve diferença (P≥0,08).
