Background Associations among perceived social support (PSS), physical activity (PA), and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in individuals with ischemic heart disease (IHD) are well established. However, little is known about these associationsin patients IHD experiencing hopelessness. Objective The objective this study to explore the associations PSS, PA, HRQoL reporting moderate severe Methods Using a cross-sectional design, secondary data were collected from 156 participants enrolled randomized controlled trial while hospitalized Midwestern United States. Data 2 weeks after hospital discharge, including Cardiac Rehabilitation Exercise Participation Tool, ENRICHD Social Support Inventory, EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level, demographic form. Linear models used assess variables, Macro process mediation was completed potential mediation. Results Most male, had some college education or higher, non-Hispanic White. Over half sample married not employed (eg, disabled, retired). Higher PSS higher PA each separately associated adjusting for relevant covariates (PSS: r partial = −0.24, P .005; PA: −0.23, .003). Engagement ( −0.19, 95% bootstrap CI, −0.34 −0.03; .02) partially mediated relationship between −0.18, −0.35 −0.01; .03) showing 22% indirect effect at −0.05 (95% CI bootstrap, −0.11 −0.002). Conclusion Even high perceptions hopelessness, better more engagement HRQoL. Longitudinal research larger diverse samples needed examine relationships

Background As global aging accelerates, the health of older adults has become a critical issue. Physical exercise long been recognized for positive effects on health, particularly among adults. However, specific impact physical activity care seeking behavior, as well mechanisms underlying this relationship, remains insufficiently explored. This study investigates effect behavior in and explores mediating roles mental health. Methods Using data from 2021 China General Social Survey (CGSS), employs regression analysis, mediation analysis to examine how influences The includes evaluation mediators relationship. Additionally, heterogeneity is conducted explore differences across various age groups, robustness tests are performed using lasso ridge ensure stability results. Results finds that negatively ( β = −0.100, p < 0.001, 95%CI [−0.154, −0.046]), with (β −0.026, [−0.087, −0.010]) −0.008, [−0.074, −0.001]) acting significant mediators. pronounced aged 60–69 −0.083, 0.027, [−0.158, −0.009]) 70–79 −0.154, [−0.248, −0.060]). Robustness confirm reliability findings, further supporting conclusions. Conclusion findings highlight importance reducing management By improving both can effectively reduce medical provides valuable insights developing targeted interventions policies aimed at
