dc.description.abstractObjective: The purpose of this study is to compare the levels of physical activity, fatigue, and quality of life of healthy individuals belonging to Methods: A total of 107 healthy individuals participated in the study, of which 39 were young (aged between 18 and 39), 42 were middle-aged (aged between 40 and 64), and 26 were elderly (over 65 years old). While physical activity was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, fatigue level was evaluated using the Fatigue Assessment Scale, and quality of life with the World Health Organization Results: A statistically significant difference has been detected between three groups with regards to the levels of physical activity, fatigue, and quality of life (p<0.05). The physical activity levels of the elderly individuals were lower than those of the middle-aged individuals, while their fatigue levels were higher. The quality of life which was related to physical health and social relationships of the young and the middle-aged were similar and higher than those of the elderly individuals. Middle-aged individuals had a higher psychological health-related quality of life than elderly individuals, but their environment - and physical health-related quality of life was higher than both young and elderly individuals. Conclusion: It has been concluded that elderly age group is associated with the lowest levels of physical activity and quality of life and the highest level of fatigue. We think that by getting elderly to adopt habit of exercise, the decrease in levels of physical activity and quality of life, and increase in fatigue level can be prevented.
