Abstract

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Quality of life (QoL) is negatively affected in people with all-over pain. Widespread pain has a negative impact on physical function, cognitive function, mental health and mood. Physical activity (PA) may help to improve the QoL in these people. This study aimed to assess the relationships between PA frequency (PAF) and QoL in middle-aged and older European people with all-over pain, in addition to developing and analyzing the performance of a classification and regression tree model (CRT) to predict QoL in this population.
