Resumo: | Aim: to estimate the effects of a group using digital technologies and physical activity on cognitive function and health variables in the elderly. Methods: intervention research with 29 elderly men (n=7) and women (n=22), all from the University of Cruz Alta community. The intervention consisted of a Program to use digital technologies and practice physical activity (walking). It had weekly meetings (total of 16 meetings) of approximately 90 minutes, first using digital technologies – computers and internet (approximately 60 minutes) and then walking (30 minutes). Cognitive function was measured by the Mini Mental State Examination. Sex, age, marital status, education, disease diagnosis, vision problems, medication, use of tobacco and alcohol and functional capacity were also collected through a questionnaire. The Body Mass Index was also checked. Participants were assessed before and after the program. The data were analyzed by paired Student’s t-test with a 5% probability. Results: it was evident that the proposed program improved cardiorespiratory fitness (519.14 pre-test - 583.86 post-test, p = 0.005) and cognitive ability (25.90 pre-test - 26.21 post-test, p> 0.001) of participants, in addition to influencing the cessation of tobacco use (20.7%). Conclusion: these results show the importance of programs aimed at the cognitive improvement of elderly people, and health variables, considering that these can and should be inserted in health care settings. |

Métodos: investigación de intervención con 29 adultos mayores, hombres (n=7) y mujeres (n=22), todos de la comunidad de Universidad de la Cruz Alta. La intervención consistió en un Programa de uso de tecnologías digitales y práctica de caminar. Tenía reuniones semanales (total de 16 reuniones) de aproximadamente 90 minutos, primero utilizando tecnologías digitales (aproximadamente 60 minutos) y luego caminando (30 minutos). La función cognitiva se midió mediante el Mini Examen del Estado Mental. También se recogieron a través de un cuestionario el sexo, la edad, el estado civil, la educación, el diagnóstico de la enfermedad, los problemas de visión, la medicación, el consumo de tabaco y alcohol y la capacidad funcional. También se verificó el Índice de Masa Corporal. Los participantes fueron evaluados antes y después del programa. Los datos se analizaron mediante la prueba t de Student pareada con una probabilidad del 5%. Resultados: se evidenció que el programa propuesto mejoró la aptitud cardiorrespiratoria (519,14 pretest - 583,86 postest, p=0,005) y la capacidad cognitiva (25,90 pretest - 26,21 postest, p>0,001) de los participantes, además a influir en el cese del consumo de tabaco (20,7%). Conclusión: stos resultados muestran la importancia de los programas dirigidos a la mejora cognitiva de las personas mayores y las variables de salud, considerando que estos pueden y deben insertarse en los entornos de atención a la salud.Objetivo: estimar o efeito de um grupo de uso de tecnologias digitais e atividade física na função cognitiva e variáveis de saúde em idosos. Métodos: pesquisa de intervenção com 29 idosos, homens (n=7) e mulheres (n=22), todos da comunidade da Universidade de Cruz Alta (Unicruz). A intervenção consistiu em um Programa de uso de tecnologias digitais e prática de atividade física (caminhada). Teve encontros semanais (total de 16 encontros) de aproximadamente 90 minutos, primeiro utilizando tecnologias digitais – computador e internet (aproximadamente 60 minutos) e depois caminhando (30 minutos). A função cognitiva foi medida pelo Miniexame do Estado Mental. Sexo, idade, estado civil, escolaridade, diagnóstico de doenças, problemas de visão, medicamentos, uso de tabaco e álcool e capacidade funcional também foram coletados por meio de questionário. O Índice de Massa Corporal também foi verificado. Os participantes foram avaliados antes e depois do programa. Os dados foram analisados pelo teste t de Student pareado com 5% de probabilidade. Resultados: ficou evidente que o programa proposto melhorou a aptidão cardiorrespiratória (519,14 pré-teste - 583,86; pós-teste, p = 0,005) e a capacidade cognitiva (25,90 pré-teste – 26,21; pós-teste, p> 0,001) dos participantes, além de influenciar a cessação do tabagismo (20,7%). Conclusão: esses resultados mostram a importância de programas voltados à melhora cognitiva de idosos, e variáveis de saúde, considerando que essas podem e devem ser inseridas em ambientes de atenção à saúde.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2022-11-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/pajar/article/view/4315410.15448/2357-9641.2022.1.43154PAJAR - Pan American Journal of Aging Research; Vol. 10 No. 1 (2022): Single Number; e43154PAJAR - Pan-American Journal of Aging Research; Vol. 10 Núm. 1 (2022): Número único; e43154PAJAR - Pan-American Journal of Aging Research; v. 10 n. 1 (2022): Número Único; e431542357-964110.15448/2357-9641.2022.1reponame:PAJAR - Pan American Journal of Aging Researchinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUCRSenghttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/pajar/article/view/43154/27795Copyright (c) 2022 PAJAR - Pan-American Journal of Aging Researchhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Leonardo Henrique daCampos, Lucas Wibelinger deChicon, Patrícia Mariotto MozzaquatroGarces, Solange Beatriz BilligKrug, Marilia de RossoXavier, André JunqueiraKrug, Rodrigo de Rosso2022-11-21T14:11:31Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/43154Revistahttp://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/pajar/about/editorialTeamPRIhttp://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/pajar/oaicataldo@pucrs.br||pajar@pucrs.br2357-96412357-9641opendoar:2022-11-21T14:11:31PAJAR - Pan American Journal of Aging Research - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false |
