Popis: The aim was to investigate the relationship of age for recovery of six-minute walking distance (6MWD), pulmonary function, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after lung cancer surgery. Primary outcome was the 6MWD recovery until 6 months after surgery. Secondary outcome was the recoveries of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and HRQOL until 6 months after surgery. Linear mixed-effects model was used to estimate the association of age to the outcomes. A total of 311 lung cancer patients were included. All the 6MWD, FEV1, and HRQOL decreased after surgery (− 32 m, − 0.39L, and − 2 scores, respectively, p = 0.027—p
