Findings: Dog owners take significantly longer walks than people who do not own dogs, averaging more than 120 minutes daily (p < 0.0001). On average, people who do not own a dog walked 38 minutes, cat owners 17 minutes. 94% of the dog owners were active daily compared to 14% of those who do not own a dog. Dog owners go to the doctor on average 5.3 times per year, people who do not own a dog 7.8 times. There was no difference between the two groups in regard to the use of medication. 80% would not move to a residential home for the elderly because of the dog, and 87% would want to take the dog along. 50% of the dog owners and 41% of those who do not own a dog had on average more than 3 contacts with other people, 6% of the dog owners and 23% of those who do not own a dog had less than one contact per day. 19% of the dog owners and 36% of those who do not own a dog would describe themselves as reserved in dealings with people. 71% stated that the dog had been very useful to help them overcome the loss of a person close to them. The W-5 [Wellbeing Five score] for dog owners was an average value of 75%, for those who did not own a dog 71%. Depression was uniformly distributed in both groups. The BMIs in both groups were similar. There was no correlation to the length of the daily walk.展开更多
目的系统评价家庭步行锻炼(HB-WE)对下肢动脉硬化闭塞症(ASO)患者步行能力和生活质量的影响。方法在中国知网、万方、维普、CBM、PubMed、Embase、Web of Science、the Cochrane Library数据库中检索、筛选自建库至2023年1月31日为止的H...目的系统评价家庭步行锻炼(HB-WE)对下肢动脉硬化闭塞症(ASO)患者步行能力和生活质量的影响。方法在中国知网、万方、维普、CBM、PubMed、Embase、Web of Science、the Cochrane Library数据库中检索、筛选自建库至2023年1月31日为止的HB-WE对ASO患者影响的随机对照试验文献,并提取所需数据。用Cochrane协作网风险偏倚评价工具进行质量评价、RevMan5.4软件进行Meta分析。结果在475篇文献中,最终纳入11项研究。Meta分析结果显示,与常规护理相比,HB-WE可提高ASO患者的步行能力[6 min步行距离(MD=22.03,95%CI:3.56~40.49,P=0.02),步行障碍问卷—距离(MD=9.49,95%CI:2.89~16.08,P=0.005),步行障碍问卷—速度(MD=6.63,95%CI:0.65~12.60,P=0.03),步行障碍问卷—爬楼梯(MD=7.72,95%CI:0.65~14.79,P=0.03)],但两者生活质量量表身体功能评分差异无统计学意义(MD=1.26,95%CI:-4.33~6.84,P=0.66)。结论HB-WE可提高ASO患者步行能力,但在提高生活质量方面尚无明显优势,还需更多的研究来论证。展开更多
