Atividades motoras e qualidade de vida de adolescentes de Paranaguá, Paraná

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar as relações entre o envolvimento em diferentes atividades motoras, de acordo com a frequência de prática, e a percepção da qualidade de vida de adolescentes. Participaram do estudo 773 adolescentes das escolas estaduais de Paranaguá (Paraná), com idade de 14 a 19 anos. Por meio de um questionário autoaplicável, foram coletadas informações sociodemográficas, a atividade motora (Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents) e percepção da qualidade de vida (Pediatric Quality of Life InventoryTM, versão 4.0). Adolescentes que praticavam futebol (p < 0,005), basquete (p < 0,005), lutas (p < 0,005), musculação (p < 0,001), tênis/tênis de mesa (p < 0,005), natação (p < 0,0005), voleibol (p < 0,005), ginástica na academia (p < 0,005) e andavam de bicicleta (p < 0,005) apresentaram percepção mais positiva de qualidade de vida em diferentes domínios. Os domínios da qualidade de vida com mais atividades motoras associadas foram “saúde e atividade” e “convívio com outras pessoas”. Envolvimento em diversas atividades motoras associou-se a melhor percepção da qualidade de vida, diferindo-se conforme frequência. Adolescentes que praticavam uma ou duas vezes por semana o futebol, basquete, lutas, natação, corrida, tênis/tênis de mesa e mus- culação, também como, os que praticavam, de três ou mais vezes na semana, a caminhada, voleibol, fazer exercício em academias de ginástica, corrida e andavam de bicicleta apresentaram percepção mais positiva da qualidade de vida que os não praticantes.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a realização de atividade física e a qualidade de vida e observar suas possíveis correlações em pacientes oncológicos durante o tratamento quimioterápico. Trata-se de um estudo observacional, descritivo e transversal. A amostra foi selecionada por amostragem aleatória simples. Incluíram-se indivíduos maiores de 18 anos com diagnóstico clínico de neoplasia maligna que tivessem realizado no mínimo duas sessões de quimioterapia, podendo ou não estar realizando outro tratamento associado à mesma. A realização de atividade física foi avaliada através do questionário International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) e a qualidade de vida através do questionário European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Câncer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30). Foram estudados 38 indivíduos. No EORTC QLQ-C30, nenhum paciente atingiu a pontuação máxima de funcionalidade. Os sintomas “fadiga” e “dor” obtiveram alta pontuação. Em relação à realização de atividade física, 63,2% dos pacientes realizaram menos do que 297 equivalentes metabólicos (METs) e 36,8% realizaram mais do que 297 METs de acordo com a classificação do IPAQ. Os pacientes que realizaram mais do que 297 METs apresentaram uma melhor qualidade de vida do que os que realizaram menos do que 297 METs. Observou-se uma correlação entre o total de METs realizados e diversas escalas do EORTC QLQ-C30, como “estado geral”, “físico” e “fadiga”. A atividade física parece estar relacionada com diferentes aspectos da qualidade de vida de pacientes oncológicos. Assim sendo, programas regulares de exercício físico, talvez, sejam uma excelente estratégia para melhorar a qualidade de vida dos mesmos.

A inatividade física tem sido descrita como um dos principais problemas de saúde pública do século XXI. Neste contexto, a atividade física desempenha um papel importante na redução da prevalência de sedentarismo, melhorando a qualidade de vida e a saúde mental dos indivíduos. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a influência de seis meses de atividade física (AF) na qualidade de vida (QV) e estados de humor (EH) de adultos jovens. Métodos: Uma amostra de 32 indivíduos completou uma bateria de questionários para avaliar o seu nível de atividade física, qualidade de vida e estados de humor. Eles foram separados em dois grupos: sedentários (n = 15) e fisicamente ativos (n = 17). O International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) foi utilizado para avaliar os níveis de AF, o WHO Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL_Bref) para QV e a Escala Brasileira de Humor (BRAMS) para os EH. Foi realizada análise fatorial de variância com medidas repetidas e teste post-hoc de Tukey (p ≤ 0,05) para QV e análise inferencial para os EH. Resultados: Escores de QV foram significantemente maiores para o grupo fisicamente ativo nos domí- nios ambiental e social. Da mesma forma, EH apresentaram maiores escores na dimensão Vigor para o grupo fisicamente ativo depois de seis meses, sem contudo, atingir os níveis de significância estatística. Conclusões: Estes resultados sugerem que AF pode influenciar positivamente aspectos na qualidade de vida do indivíduo. Contudo, os dados não evidenciam uma influência significativa da AF nos estados de humor

Objetivo: Comparar a qualidade de vida, o consumo alimentar e o nível de atividade física entre diferentes profissionais de saúde que trabalhavam em unidades de terapia intensiva (UTIs) e enfermarias. Métodos: Estudo transversal e analítico realizado em UTI’s e enfermarias adultos. A qualidade de vida foi avaliada pelo word health organization quality of life instrument bref (WHOQOL - bref), o consumo alimentar pelo Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional (SISVAN) e o nível de atividade física pelo international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ - versão curta). Resultados: Foram avaliados 252 profissionais de saúde. Trabalhadores da enfermaria apresentaram melhor qualidade de vida do que a UTI nos domínios físico (4,12 ± 0,51 vs 3,94 ± 0,48; p = 0,006) e psicológico (4,06 ± 0,51 vs 3,86 ± 0,46; p=0,002). Quase metade dos indivíduos foram classificados como inativos, não apresentaram hábitos diários relacionada alimentação saudável e apresentaram práticas alimentares pouco recomendadas mais do que duas vezes por semana. Conclusões: A enfermaria apresentou melhor qualidade de vida do que a UTI. A formação na área da saúde deveria estimular hábitos de vida saudáveis devido um maior conhecimento sobre a gênese e fisiopatologia das doenças, no entanto quase a metade da população estudada estavam inativos e não apresentavam hábitos saudáveis relacionados a alimentação.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the quality of life of adolescents with asthma correlates with parameters obtained prior to and after the six-minute step test (6MST); spirometric results after the 6MST; and level of physical activity. METHODS: Nineteen adolescents with asthma, ranging from 11-15 years of age, were assessed with spirometry, 6MST, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), the Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ), and the 10-point Borg category-ratio scale. RESULTS: Sensation of dyspnea correlated negatively with the total PAQLQ score (r = −0.54) and with the scores of its activity limitation (AL) and symptoms domains (r = −0.64 and r = −0.63, respectively), leg fatigue also correlating negatively with those same domains (r = −0.49 and r = −0.56, respectively). The total IPAQ score correlated with the total PAQLQ score (r = 0.47) and with the PAQLQ AL domain (r = 0.51); IPAQ time spent walking correlated with the PAQLQ symptoms domain (r = 0.45); and IPAQ time spent in vigorous activity correlated with the AL domain (r = 0.50). In the regression analysis, only sensation of dyspnea remained significantly correlated with the total PAQLQ score and the PAQLQ AL domain; leg fatigue remained significantly correlated with the symptoms domain. CONCLUSIONS: Higher levels of physical activity indicate better quality of life, as do lower perception of dyspnea and less leg fatigue. The 6MST proved to be a viable option for evaluating exercise capacity in adolescents with asthma, because it reflects the discomfort that asthma causes during activities of daily living.

Cardinal Symptom ◽

Introduction: Dyspnea is a cardinal symptom among patients with respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Its underlying mechanisms are complex, including pathophysiological as well as psychological and environmental factors. There is no gold standard to its evaluation and it has been recognized that multidimensional tools could provide a more comprehensive evaluation of the symptom. Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to examine the validation of the scores of the French-Canadian version of the Modified Dyspnea Index(MDI), a multidimensional measure of dyspnea, among chronic cardiovascular and pulmonary patients. Methods: This study includes 137 patients: 79 with pulmonary arterial hypertension and 58 with interstitial lung disease. The cross-cultural adaptation and reliability of the MDI were already reported. The hypothesis guiding the test of convergent validity were that the final score of MDI, which reflects the intensity of dyspnea and its functional impact, would have correlations with: pulmonary function (forced vital capacity-FVC and FVC%), physical capacity (6 Minutes Walk Test-6MWT and Veterans Specific Activity Questionnaire-VSAQ), the practice of physical activity (Godin-Shephard Leisure-Time Physical Activity Questionnaire - GSLTPAQ) and quality of life (SF-12). Partial correlations were performed controlling theses variables: diagnosis, age, sex, BMI, and schooling. Results: The following correlations were observed between the total score of MDI and the reference variables: FVC 0.36 ( p<0.001 ); FVC% 0.29 ( p=0.008 ); 6MWT 0.58 ( p<0.001 ); VSAQ 0.77 ( p<0.001 ); GSLTPAQ 0.50 ( p<0.001 ); SF12-Physical Component 0.73 ( p<0.001 ); SF12-Mental Comp. 0.31 ( p<0.001 ). Conclusions: The results confirmed the associations hypothesized. The total score of the MDI explained much more the variance of the quality of life and perceived physical capacity, than lung function explained the MDI score. It is aligned with the described impact of the symptom in the daily life of the patient and the complexity of the factors underlying its triggering and perception. The use of the MDI can be very helpful in the clinical follow-up, guiding the choice of the best therapeutic approach and evaluation the outcomes of the interventions implemented.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the main symptoms associated catastrophizing in women with fibromyalgia and migraine.MethodologyWe conducted an observational study with 26 women diagnosed with both fibromyalgia and migraine, aged between 30 and 60 years (46±8 years). The Pain Catastrophizing Scale was applied as a cut-of point =30, dividing the volunteers in groups with (n=18) and without catastrophizing (n=8). We assessed the quality of sleep (Pittsburgh sleep quality index), the presence of depression and anxiety (Becks depression and anxiety inventories), the quality of life perception (Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire-revised), the disability due to migraine (Migraine disability assessment) and the level of physical activity (International physical activity questionnaire).ResultsThe time of fibromyalgia did not difer (p=0.80) between the group with (8.54±4.88) and without catastrophizing (10.04±3.47). The Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire-revised scores were significantly higher (p=0.01) among women with catastrophizing (78±12.6) than those without (56.6±22.3). There was no diference between the groups (p>0.05) in relation to the other outcomes evaluated.ConclusionThe presence of catastrophizing in women with fibromyalgia and migraine are associated with a worse perception of quality of life. a worse perception of quality of life.

The Impact ◽

Activity and participation in sport have garnered a great deal of attention over the past few decades, due in part to growing awareness of the benefits they offer that lead to a better quality of life. This situation has opened up new lines of investigation in the sport sciences field, including the study of physical activity and sport participation according to the perspective of Lifespan Developmental Psychology, the approach that underlies this study. The aim of this research is (1) to design an instrument to collect information on individuals’ lifelong relationships with sport and physical activity (2) to implement the instrument through a pilot test to create profiles that can be compared with other variables, all in order to study the role that physical activity and sport participation play in a range of aspects throughout the lifespan. The results indicate the questionnaire was effective and capable of collecting data on the physical and sport activities of the members of the sample at different moments in the lifespan. It was also able to generate profiles that can be used to analyze the variables of participation in sport and/or physical activity in conjunction with other variable, thus offering a way to measure the impact of physical activity on human development. Keywords: Sports trajectories; lifespan; physical activity questionnaire; physical activity profiles

With the increase in life expectancy and declining birth rates, the issue of improving the quality of life in people over 60 has become one of the priorities in health care (WHO, 2015). So far a limited number of studies have addressed the long-term relationship between aerobic exercise and cognitive processes (e.g. see systematic review by Young, Angevaren, Rusted, & Tabet, 2015). The aim of the study was to conduct the first stage in developing an instrument to retrospectively investigate life-time physical activity. Methods: a literature search in databases EBSCO, Pubmed, SCOPUS and Science Direct using keywords “retrospective physical activity”, “long-term physical activity” was conducted. After literature review, individual interviews with participants aged from 65 to 76 were held to create a retrospective physical activity questionnaire. Interviews were conducted according to literature-based protocol, which was updated after each participant. Results: eight main categories of life-time activity: "work”, “education", "sleep", "transportation", "self-care", "leisure time", "household activities" and "sports”. Conclusions: means of measuring life-long physical activity retrospectively would be highly beneficial in physical activity research; however, further work in developing and validating retrospective physical activity questionnaire is needed.

Background Physical activity constitutes an important factor for the assessment of quality of life of people with heart failure. The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire has never been used for the evaluation of physical activity of people with heart failure. Aims The purpose of this study was to translate the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire into Greek and examine its reliability in 120 patients with heart failure. Methods The reliability of the tool was examined in a sub-population of the sample (30 patients with heart failure), 15 days after the first completion of the questionnaire. Findings Total score of physical activity was low (458.99 METs-minutes/week), whereas sedentary behaviour was very high (741.43 minutes/week). There was no decline between the first and second measurements, and the two measurements were statistically significantly correlated. Conclusions The findings provide evidence that the Greek version of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire is a reliable tool for assessing the physical activity of Greek patients with heart failure.
