Objectively Measured Physical Activity

The aim of this study was to identify the differences in functional fitness and quality of life among women over 60 years of age depending on their level of objectively measured physical activity (PA) according to Global Recommendations on Physical Activity for health. The study used a cross-sectional design with 213 female volunteers over 60 years of age. Physical activity was monitored for 7 days of the week using an Actigraph Gt3X monitor. The Senior Fitness Test battery and hand-grip strength tests were performed to assess functional fitness. Quality of life was self-reported using a short version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire WHOQOL-bref. Women who met the PA recommendations achieved slightly better results in most functional tests and in all domains of quality of life. Significant differences were found in the upper body strength, dynamic balance, and social relationships domains of quality of life. Physical activity programs developed on the basis of World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations have the potential to improve functional fitness and quality of life. However, further experimental studies in this area are required.

La miastenia gravis (MG) es una enfermedad autoinmune, de origen desconocida y que repercute en la unión neuromuscular, lo que origina debilidad en la musculatura esquelética y, por lo tanto, tiene como característica la generación de fatiga. Esta sintomatología repercute en las actividades físicas de quienes la padecen y se suele contrarrestar con reposo (Suárez, 2000).El objetivo de este trabajo es dar a conocer el seguimiento de un paciente con MG: su diagnóstico, el tratamiento y la evolución de esta enfermedad. La persona en cuestión fue diagnosticada desde los cinco años de edad, por lo que también se evalúa cómo esta enfermedad ha repercutido en su calidad de vida y estado de ánimo.La presente investigación tiene un enfoque cuantitativo; el estudio es de tipo retro-prospectivo. Prospectivo porque se busca evaluar la calidad de vida y el estado de ánimo del paciente; retrospectivo porque se retoman los antecedentes de la evolución de la enfermedad por medio del expediente clínico.Para cumplir con ello, se realizó la historia clínica del paciente: se revisó su estado de salud general, sus antecedentes patológicos y no patológicos, sus notas de evolución y se efectuaron estudios diagnósticos y de laboratorio; dichos instrumentos de evaluación se aplicaron en un solo momento. Se utilizó, además, el test de depresión de Hamilton, el cual sirve para evaluar a los pacientes que se cree puedan estar sufriendo un trastorno de ansiedad o depresión. También se aplicó el World Health Organization Quiality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL). Este test se centra en la calidad de vida percibida por la persona, aportando un perfil de la misma y dando una puntuación global de las áreas. Entre los resultados se encontró que el paciente, un adulto joven de 21 años, presenta gastritis e insomnio. Además, debido a que desde los cinco años ha tomado pastillas para controlar la MG, sus dientes se fueron descalcificando y, en consecuencia, requirió del uso de dientes postizos. Con respecto a la aplicación del test de depresión de Hamilton, se descubrió que está sufriendo un trastorno de depresión severa. Sin embargo, siguiendo el resultado de la aplicación del instrumento de calidad de vida, el paciente cuenta una calidad de vida regular.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the relationship of sociodemographic predictors, morbidities, depression indicative score, as well as the mediating role of religiosity, spirituality and personal beliefs about quality of life. Method: cross-sectional study conducted between March and July 2016, with 613 elderly, applying the instruments; Spirituality, Religiousness and Personal Beliefs of World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire, Brief version of World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire and World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment for Older Adults. In the data analysis, through Statistical Package for Social Sciences, absolute and relative frequency, measures of central tendency and variability and modeling with structural equations involving exogenous and endogenous latent constructs were used to highlight the mediating role of religiosity, spirituality and beliefs between the indicative of depression and quality of life (p≤0.005). Results: females, 60┤70 years old, married, with 4├7 years of schooling, income of one minimum wage, 6.16±3.70 morbidities and average of 3.84±3.01 for the indicative depression score prevailed. The highest score was for the connection with spiritual being or strength facet, Social Relations domain and Intimacy; Totality and integration facet, the Environment domain and the Death and dying facet had the lowest scores. There was a mediating function of religiosity, spirituality and personal beliefs, between the indicative depression score and the quality of life. Conclusion: it is necessary to invest in the practice of religiosity, spirituality and personal beliefs, as a health strategy, since they have shown an impact on the decrease of depression and a significant increase in quality of life.

Introdução: A expectativa de vida da população brasileira tem crescido consideravelmente, assim é importante compreender o modo como a pessoa idosa tem percebido suas condições de saúde, para uma melhor qualidade de vida (QV). Objetivo: verificar a associação da autopercepção de saúde com a QV de idosas que praticam atividade física (AF) e analisar a correlação entre o tempo despendido em AF e a percepção de saúde. Método: Quantitativo, transversal e correlacional. Instrumentos: International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), World Health Organization Quality of Life – BREF e OLD, Sociodemográfico com a pergunta “De um modo geral, você se considera uma pessoa saudável?” e o cálculo do Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). Foi realizado a análise descritiva das variáveis, teste de coeficiente de correlação ponto-bisserial e realização da regressão linear múltipla com significância de p<0,05. Resultados: houve uma boa percepção da QV e a percepção de saúde foi positiva na maioria da amostra. O IMC denunciou sobrepeso das participantes. Verificou-se a existência de correlação inversa no domínio Físico da QV geral, nas idosas com percepção negativa de saúde, sendo considerada uma correlação moderada (r=-0,436; p=0,00). Conclusão: Não houve significância estatística para associar a percepção de saúde com a QV, apesar da percepção de saúde delas ser positiva e o tempo de prática de AF semanal estar acima do recomendado pela OMS. Houve uma boa percepção da QV geral pelo grupo, porém, a correlação entre a prática de AF e do domínio Físico das idosas com percepção negativa de saúde foi inversa.

The process of aging leads to changes in functional abilities, fitness levels, level of physical activity, and body mass index (BMI), all of which causes changes in the quality of life. The current study aims to determine the association between the level of physical activity (PA) and BMI, and quality of life (QoL) among elderly women. The total sample numbered 156 women, with an average age of 67.7 ± 5.6 years. To determine the level of physical activity, the self-reported International Physical Activity Questionnaire Long Form (IPAQ-LF), was used. To calculate the values of the BMI, the standard procedure recommended by the World Health Organization was used. Quality of life was evaluated using the short form of the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire designed by the World Health Organization. All the data were processed using the statistical package for data analysis SPSS 20.0. Pearson’s correlation analysis shows statistically significant relations at the level of p &lt; 0.01 between PA and Physical health in Housework = 0.36, Leisure time PA = 0.27, Walking = 0.24, Moderate PA 0.43, Total PA = 0.43, while the correlations between the variables at the significance level of p &lt; 0.05 were determined in PA in transportation = 0.19 and High-intensity PA = 0.16. Multiple linear regression analysis of different levels of PA as independent variables on individual domains of QoL shows that there is an association of PA and Physical health (Sig = 0.000), more precisely, Total PA is statistically the most closely related to Physical health (Sig = 0.000), and then follows PA at work and Social relations (Sig = 0.036). Similar results were obtained when BMI is added to model A. In contrast to model A, model B shows a statistically significant association between PA and BMI with the environmental domain of QoL (Sig = 0.001). The results of the current study indicate that high- and moderate-intensity physical activity both have benefits for physical health, whereas moderate PA showed higher significance levels. Results also show that elderly women with higher BMI values achieve better results in the environmental domain of QoL.
