The aim of the study is to determinewhether physical fitness is associated with multiple dimensions of well-being in the community dwelling elderly.Materials and Methods:\u00a0A community-based cross-sectional study was undertaken to assess the physical fitness and perceived wellness in 400 elderly (\u226565 years) subjects. The Senior Fitness Test (SFT) for assessing functional\/physical fitness and Perceived Wellness Survey (PWS) were used to assess their well-being. Bivariate correlation analysis was used for individual testsand multiple linear regressions were used to analyze relationship of wellness composite score with physical fitness test.XXXXResults:\u00a0284men and 116 women (mean ages 69.80\u00b13.82 and67.25\u00b12.57 years, respectively) were assessed for physical fitness tests and perceived wellness.\u2018Arm-curl\u2019 and \u2018chair-sit\u2019 testsshowedlinear decrease in strength with increasing age. In \u2018back-scratch\u2019 and \u2018chair-sit and reach\u2019 tests lower limb flexibility was better than upper limb in all except the 65\u201369 year sub-group. Maximum time to perform the \u20188-feet up-and-go\u2019 test increased progressively with age, whereas \u20182-minute step\u2019 test showed a linear decrease in mean score with advancing age. Wellness composite score (14.54\u00b12.31) inmaleswas maximum in the 75\u201379 year age-group, while in females it (15.26\u00b12.29) was maximum in the 70\u201374 year age-group. Correlation analysis of physical fitness test with perception of wellness (composite score) showed significant association of \u2018arm-curl\u2019 test (p=0.012), \u2018back-scratch\u2019 test (p=0.0002), \u20188-feet up-and-go\u2019 test (p=0.005), \u20182-minute step\u2019 test (p=0.005) with the composite wellness score in the male participants, whereas in the females such significance was observed only in the \u20182 minute step\u2019 test (p=0.007) with the wellness score.Conclusion:\u00a0Screening of physical fitness and wellness are important measures in assessing wellness of community dwelling elderly, and in predicting theiroverall state of well-being, including age-specific comparison of fitness performance and wellness score.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.15388\/amed.2023.30.1.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,24]],"date-time":"2023-01-24T03:30:33Z","timestamp":1674531033000},"page":"1","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Association between Physical Fitness and Perceived Well-Being in Functionally Independent Community Dwelling Elderly of North-Eastern India"],"prefix":"10.15388","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1990-0247","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Prasanta Kumar","family":"Bhattacharya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5117-2692","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kuldeep","family":"Deka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5433-1310","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bhupen","family":"Barman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4758-8721","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Md","family":"Jamil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"6097","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","unstructured":"Central Statistics Office, Government of India.
