While pharmacological treatments address hormonal imbalances, many patients continue to <br>experience emotional distress. This study investigates the relationship between physical activity and <br>perceived stress among Indian thyroid patients, aiming to explore the potential of exercise as a non<br>pharmacological intervention. A cross-sectional design was used to assess 120 adults with clinically <br>diagnosed thyroid disorders, utilizing the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) <br>and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Participants were categorized into three age groups to explore <br>age-related variations. Results indicated a significant negative correlation between physical activity <br>and perceived stress, particularly among young and middle-aged adults. Moderate physical activity <br>levels were most effective in reducing stress. Findings align with the biopsychosocial model and <br>support theories such as allostatic load and HPA axis regulation, suggesting that exercise modulates <br>neuroendocrine responses linked to stress. This study underscores the importance of integrating <br>physical activity into thyroid care, especially in culturally sensitive and resource-constrained <br>settings like India. It advocates for holistic, age-appropriate interventions to improve psychological <br>well-being alongside physical health in thyroid patients.</p> |
