  El consumo habitual de tabaco y alcohol entre los adolescentes, así como el sedentarismo constituyen un problema de salud pública y una epidemia pediátrica. La calidad de vida es un indicador del estado general de salud autopercibido. El objetivo fue analizar la relación entre actividad física, consumo de tabaco, alcohol y calidad de vida mediante una metodología observacional, seleccionando de manera aleatoria 1037 adolescentes españoles de 14-17 años de edad (15.52 ± 1.11 años). Los instrumentos empleados fueron el International Physical Activity Questionaire (actividad física), el Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance (tabaco), el Cuestionario sobre hábitos de consumo de alcohol en adolescentes (alcohol) y el Cuestionario de Salud SF-36 (calidad de vida). Se exploraron las relaciones bi-variantes mediante tablas de contingencia, seguido de un análisis de regresión logística binaria. Los resultados sugieren que la actividad física (p < .001) es la variable que mejor predice la calidad de vida percibida por los varones siendo también relevante el consumo de tabaco (p < .05). En las mujeres, tanto el consumo de tabaco (p < .001) como el consumo de alcohol (p < .001), se muestran como las variables que mejor predicen la calidad de vida percibida, siendo en menor medida relevante la asociación entre actividad física y calidad de vida (p < .05). La promoción de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud depende de la creación de ambientes educacionales integrales donde la actividad física forme parte de un estilo de vida saludable.  Abstract. Habitual tobacco and alcohol use among adolescents, as well as sedentary lifestyle, are a public health problem and a pediatric epidemic. Quality of life is an indicator of overall self-perceived health status. The objective was to analyze the relationship between physical activity, tobacco consumption, alcohol and quality of life using an observational methodology, randomly selecting 1037 Spanish adolescents aged 14-17 years old (15.52 ± 1.11 years old). Instruments used were the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (physical activity), the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance (tobacco), the Questionnaire on alcohol consumption habits in adolescents (alcohol), and the Health Questionnaire SF-36 (quality of life). Bi-variant relationships were explored using contingency tables, followed by binary logistic regression analysis. Results suggest that physical activity (p <.001) is the variable that best predicts quality of life perceived by boys, tobacco use being also relevant (p <.05). In girls, both tobacco consumption (p <.001) and alcohol consumption (p <.001) are shown as the variables that best predict their perceived quality of life, but the association between physical activity and quality of life is less relevant (p <.05). The promotion of health-related quality of life depends on the creation of comprehensive educational environments where physical activity is part of a healthy lifestyle.

El estudio de los comportamientos que preceden al suicidio es importante no sólo por su asociación con éste sino por su impacto en la calidad de vida (CV). Dada la escasez de información sobre esta relación en adolescentes, el objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la asociación de los comportamientos de riesgo de suicidio y la CV, según género en adolescentes estudiantes de preparatoria mexicanos. Es un estudio transversal, en participantes de 14 a 18 años de edad. Se utilizó una versión traducida del Youth Risk Behavior Survey y la versión en español del Youth Quality of Life Instrument - Research version. Se aplicaron pruebas no paramétricas. Se pidió consentimiento informado a padres y estudiantes y se obtuvo aprobación de Comité de ética. Se consideró el modelo de desarrollo transaccional del comportamiento suicida de la juventud de Brigde et al. El análisis por separado para mujeres y hombres, mostró los comportamientos de riesgo de suicidio asociados con CV, y fue el comportamiento de haberse sentido triste o sin esperanza, el que presentó en general los tamaños de efecto mayores. Los modelos de regresión evidencian que algunos comportamientos de riesgo de suicidio aumentan la posibilidad de una CV inferior aún después de ajustar por covariables.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between health-related behaviors and quality of life among the elderly. METHODS: A population-based cross-sectional study was carried out including 1,958 elderly living in four areas in the state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil, 2001/2002. Quality of life was assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study SF-36-Item Short Form Health Survey instrument. This instrument's eight subscales and two components were the dependent variables. Independent variables were physical activity, weekly frequency of alcohol consumption and smoking. Multiple linear regression models were used to control for the effect of gender, age, schooling, work, area of residence and number of chronic conditions. RESULTS: Physical activity was positively associated with the eight SF-36 subscales. The stronger associations were found for role-physical (β=11.9), physical functioning (β=11.3) and physical component. Elderly individuals who consumed alcohol at least once a week showed a better quality of life than those did not consume alcohol. Compared to non-smokers, smokers had a poorer quality of life for the mental component (β=-2.4). CONCLUSIONS: The study results showed that physical activity, moderate alcohol consumption and no smoking are positively associated with a better quality of life in the elderly.

Background: Depression is characterized by abnormal affective manifestations. This pathology is more frequent among women and is aggravated with the overweight/obesity. Regular exercises have been shown to combat the manifestations of depression, as well as to increase active behavior and improve the morphology. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of functional training on morphology, physical activity level and quality of life of obese women with depression. Methods: Four women with mean aged 32.5 ± 10.6 underwent 2 months of functional training, which performed twice a week, each session 1-hour training. Participants were evaluated in 3 times (T): T1) pre-test; T2) at the end of first month (mid-test); and T3) at the end of the second month (post-test). Results: We observed significant changes for the waist circumference variable, and presented a reduction in mid-test and post-test, in relation to the pre-test (p<0.05). No changes were observed for the variables weight and BMI. It was observed a significant increase in the level of physical activity, with the mid-test and post-test in relation to the pre-test (mid-test: p<0.05; post-test: p<0.01). All the indices evaluated by the SF-36 questionnaire showed improvement at mid-test and post-test relative to the pre-test (p<0.05). Conclusions: The present study suggests that engagement in functional training programs provides a significant improvement in aspects related to quality of life and depression, as well as an increase in the level of physical activity, even in the absence of weight reduction.

ABSTRACTThe health promotion literature for young adults is not generalizable to the elderly, and different outcomes are likely to motivate changes in health practices within the two populations. Main and interactive effects of smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity and physical activity on older Canadians' quality of life are examined with 1991 GSS data. Quality of life is operationalized with psychological well-being and subjective health indicators. Two dichotomous outcomes are used for each dimension, where one outcome is relatively sensitive in detecting impaired quality of life and the other relatively specific. Smoking was consistently associated with negative outcomes, but there was little evidence of adverse effects for alcohol consumption. Physical activity effects were most pronounced comparing sedentary and moderately active individuals. Body mass index showed curvilinear associations with impaired quality of life and interactions with smoking and activity level in separate models.

The study examined the quality of life (QoL) of parents with disabled children in Greece. Further, the relationship between QoL with depressive symptoms and involvement in physical activity were reported as well. The total sample constituted from 73 parents (Mean age = 42.87 years, SD = 7.58), classified to 42 parents of children with disabilities and 31 parents of children without disabilities (control group). The participants responded to the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) (Beck, Steer & Garbin, 1996), the QoL SF36v2 scale (Ware et al., 2007), and the Self Administered Physical Activity Checklist (SAPAC) (Sallis, Strikmiller, Harsha, & Feldman, 1996). The multivariate (lambda = .99, F = .35, p = .70, eta2 = .01) and univariate comparisons between the two parental groups did not reveal significant differences in the physical (PCS) and mental components (MCS) of the SF36v2. The QoL was significantly related to the depressive symptoms, while the involvement in physical activity was not related to QoL. On the other hand, parents of children with disabilities had less sedentary behaviors compared to the control group. The overall findings are discussed in line with relevant studies examining the QoL of families with disabled children.Keywords. Quality of Life, depression, physical activity, parents, disability.Resumen. Este estudio examinó la calidad de vida (QoL) de los padres de niños discapacitados en Grecia. Además, se reporta la relación entre la calidad de vida y los síntomas depresivos y de la participación en actividades físicas. El total de la muestra estuvo constituida por 73 padres (edad promedio = 42.87 años, DE = 7.58), clasificadas en 42 padres de niños con discapacidad y 31 padres de niños sin discapacidad (grupo control). Los participantes respondieron el Inventario de Depresión de Beck II (BDI-II) (Beck, Steer & Garbin, 1996), la escala QoL SF-36 v2 (Ware et al., 2007), y el Self Administered Physical Activity Checklist (SAPAC) (Sallis, Strikmiller, Harsha, & Feldman, 1996). Las comparaciones multivariadas (lambda = .99, F = .35, p = .70, eta2 = .01) y univariadas entre los dos grupos de padres no mostró diferencias significativas en los componentes físicos (PCS) y mentales (MCS) de la escala SF-36. La QoL se relacionó significativamente con síntomas depresivos, mientras que la participación en actividades físicas no estuvo relacionada con la QoL. Por otra parte, los padres de los niños con discapacidad tuvieron menos comportamientos sedentarios comparados con los padres del grupo control. Los resultados generales se discuten en línea con los estudios pertinentes que examinan la calidad de vida de las familias con niños discapacitados.Palabras claves.

Introdução: As atividades operacionais desempenhadas pelo bombeiro militar são de alta intensidade, exigindo adequada aptidão física. Nesse contexto, investigar a prática de atividade física em relação ao desempenho físico é importante. Além disso, poucos estudos focalizaram a qualidade de vida desses militares.Objetivo: Investigar a relação entre o nível de atividade física habitual, a aptidão física e a qualidade de vida de bombeiros militares.Métodos: Estudo de corte transversal, descritivo e correlacional. A amostra foi composta por 30 bombeiros militares de uma corporação de Minas Gerais. A aptidão física foi avaliada por meio do Teste de Avaliação Física (TAF), aplicado pelo Corpo de Bombeiros Militar de Minas Gerais (CBMMG), no ano de 2016. A avaliação do nível de atividade física habitual foi realizada utilizando-se o questionário de Baecke. A qualidade de vida foi avaliada pelo SF-36. A normalidade da distribuição dos dados foi testada pelo teste de Shapiro Wilk. A relação entre as variáveis foi testada pelo coeficiente de correlação de Pearson. Todas as análises foram realizadas com nível de confiança de 95%.Resultados: Houve correlação significativa (p≤0,05) do nível de atividade física com aptidão física (r=0,41) e com os seguintes aspectos da qualidade de vida: capacidade funcional (r=0,35), vitalidade (r=0,35), aspectos sociais (r=0,37) e saúde mental (r=0,63). Aptidão física mostrou-se associada com o escore psicológico da qualidade de vida (r=0,37).Conclusão: Maiores níveis de atividade física habitual estavam associados a maior aptidão física em bombeiros militares. Além disso, nível de atividade física habitual apresentou correlação mais forte com qualidade de vida do que aptidão física. Patterns of Physical Fitness and Quality of Life in Military FirefightersIntroduction: The operational activities performed by the military firefighter are of high intensity requiring adequate physical fitness. In this context, to investigate physical activity practice regarding physical performance is important. In addition, few studies have explored the quality of life of these military personnel.Objective: To examine the association of habitual physical activity level, physical fitness and quality of life in a military fire company.Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study. The sample consisted of 30 military firefighters from a Minas Gerais corporation. Physical fitness was assessed with the Physical Fitness Test (PFT), applied by the Military Fire Brigade of Minas Gerais (MFBMG) in 2016. The assessment of the habitual level of physical activity was performed using the Baecke questionnaire. Quality of life was assessed by SF-36. The normality of the data distribution was tested by the Shapiro Wilk test. Correlation was tested by the Pearson correlation coefficient. All analyzes with a 95% confidence level.Results: There was a significant correlation (P<0.05) of habitual physical activity level with physical fitness (r=0.41) and with the following domains of quality of life: functional capacity (r=0.35), vitality (r=0.35), social aspects (r=0.37) and mental health (r=0.63). Performance in PFT was associated with a psychological quality of life score (r=0.37).Conclusion: Higher levels of habitual physical activity were associated with greater physical fitness in military firefighters. Furthermore, level of habitual physical activity showed stronger correlation with quality of life than physical fitness.

Introducción: El envejecimiento se acompaña de factores de riesgo cuya reducción mejora la supervivencia. La actividad física incide sobre ellos, lo que realza su papel preventivo y su valor como tratamiento no-farmacológico. Dada la escasez de programas de entrenamiento específicos para ancianos pluripatológicos, sobre todo durante el periodo de inicio de resolución de la actividad clínica de una enfermedad aguda, o de la exacerbación de una o varias de las enfermedades crónicas, el presente estudio piloto analiza la viabilidad y efectos de un programa corto de entrenamiento neuromotor en estos pacientes ingresados en UHD (Unidad de Hospitalización Domiciliaria). Método: 11 ancianos pluripatológicos (82,2±6,9 años, 8 hombres) completaron 4 semanas de entrenamiento funcional con orientación neuromuscular y cognitiva, con evaluación pre-post sobre capacidad funcional (equilibrio, marcha, fuerza de tren inferior y agilidad), composición corporal y calidad de vida -6 semanas, incluida la evaluación-. Se realizaron dos sesiones domiciliarias supervisadas y una tercera autónoma semanalmente. Resultados: Los ancianos mejoraron en equilibrio y marcha (Tinetti-total: 14,0±9,0 vs 17,9±7,3 puntos; p =0,007), fuerza (test sentarse y levantarse 30-s: 3,0±3,7 vs 4,1±4,1 reps.; p =0,034), agilidad (TUG-test categorizado; p =0,001) y peso (82,2±14,0 vs 79,2±13,9 kg; p =0,036), aunque no en calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (SF-36-v2: 32,9±7,8 vs 31,2±7,7 puntos; p =0,722). La presencia del técnico aumentó el cumplimiento un 20%. Conclusiones: El dinamismo de UHD es idóneo para implantar programas de actividad física especializada que frenen los efectos devastadores del binomio envejecimiento-inactividad. Una corta duración no les resta eficacia.   Introduction: Aging is linked to a various risk factors whose reduction improves survival. Physical activity affects many of them, what enhances its preventive role and its value as a non-pharmacological treatment. Given the scarcity of specific training programs for elderly people with multiple pathologies, especially during the start period of resolution of the clinical activity of an acute disease, or the exacerbation of one or several of the chronic diseases, the present pilot study aims to analyze the feasibility and effects of a short neuromotor training program in these patients admitted to UHD (Home Hospitalization Unit). Methods: 11 elderly patients (82.2±6.9 years, 8 men; acute phase of disease) completed 4 weeks of a neuromuscular and cognitive orientated functional training program, with pre-post assessment of functional capacity (i.e. balance, gait speed, lower limb strength and agility), body composition and quality of life -6 weeks, including the evaluation-. There were 2 supervised sessions and a third autonomous session every week. Results: Significant improvements were found in balance and gait (Tinetti-total: 14.0±9.0 vs 17.9±7.3 points; p =0.007), strength (30-seconds Chair Stand Test: 3.0±3; p =0.001), agility (TUG-test categorized; p =0.001) and weight (82.2±14.0 vs. 79.2±13.9 kg; p =0.036), but not in health-related quality of life (SF-36-v2: 32.9±7.8 vs 31.2±7.7 points; p =0.722). The technician’s presence increased adherence to the program by 20%. Conclusions: The dynamism of UHD is ideal for implementing specialized physical activity programs that counteract the devastating effects of the binomial aging-inactivity. A short duration does not reduce effectiveness.

Método. Un total de 125 trabajadores del Servicio de salud del Ayuntamiento de Sevilla cumplimentaron el cuestionario de salud SF-36 versión 2 AGUDA para determinar su calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en el ámbito laboral, así como un cuestionario de preguntas de carácter general indicando el tipo y frecuencia de actividad física que realizaban. Resultados. Para todas las dimensiones del cuestionario, el estado de salud está dentro del rango promedio, siendo las dimensiones de función física y vitalidad las que presentan una mejor puntuación. Conclusión. Los trabajadores que no realizan actividad física tienen una peor percepción de su salud o por lo menos comparada con la del año anterior, mientras que los que si realizan actividad física de manera regular presentan respuestas indicadoras de una percepción más positiva de su calidad de vida relacionada con su salud.Palabras clave: Calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS), calidad de vida laboral (CVL), actividad física, SF-36 versión 2 AGUDA, escalas o dimensiones de la salud.Abstract: The aim of this study is to identify the correlation between perceived quality of life regarding health and the regular practice of physical exercise, in a group of public sector workers. Method: A total of 125 workers from the Seville Council Health Service completed the SF-36 version 2 AGUDA health survey, in order to rate their quality of life regarding health in the work sphere, along with a general question survey indicating the type and frequency of the physical activity they do. Results: In all parts of the survey the state of health falls within the average range, the highest scores being those of physical function and vitality. Conclusion: The workers who do no physical exercise have a worse perception of their health, at least compared with that of last year, while those who do regular physical activity score more positive results concerning their perception of their quality of life in terms of health.Keywords: Quality of life regarding health (QLRH), quality of working life, physical activity, SF-36 version 2 AGUDA, scales or dimensions of health.
