Resumo: Objective: To analyze the association between the habitual physical activity and functional disability among elderly people living in rural areas. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 104 elderly residents in a rural area of a municipality of northeastern Brazil. The study used a questionnaire with sociodemographic and lifestyle habits information, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (version adapted for the elderly), and the Katz scale for assessment of functional status in performing the basic activities of daily living (BADL). To assess the association between the variables of interest, the prevalence ratio (PR) and its confidence intervals were used as measure of association, and Pearson’s chi-square test was performed as a measure of statistical significance, adopting p≤0.05. Results: The majority of the elderly were classified as insufficiently active (64.2%). Associations of statistical significance were observed between physical activity and age (p=0.004), marital status(p=0.020), and education (p=0.002). The physical activity practice was associated with the functional disability to perform the BADL (p=0.017). When stratified by age and sex, the association was not maintained (p>0.05). Conclusion: Regular practice of physical activity is evidenced as an important behaviour in prevention/improvement of functional disability among the assessed elderly population. doi: 10.5020/18061230.2015.p126

Métodos: Estudio transversal con 104 mayores de la zona rural de un municipio del Noreste de Brasil. Fueron utilizados un cuestionario con informaciones sociodemograficas y los hábitos de vida, el cuestionario internacional de actividades físicas (versión adaptada a los mayores) y la Escala de Katz para la evaluación del estado funcional en la realización de las actividades básicas de la vida diaria (ABVD). Fueron utilizados la razón de prevalencia y sus respectivos intervalos de confianza para evaluar la asociación de las variables de interés. Para La medición de la significación fue utilizada la prueba de Chicuadrado de Pearson con p≤0,05. Resultados: La mayoría de los mayores fue clasificada como activos insuficientes (64,2%). Se observó asociaciones estadísticamente significativas entre la actividad física y la edad (p=0,004), la situación conyugal (p=0,020) y escolaridad (p=0,002). La práctica de actividad física se asoció con la incapacidad funcional para la realización de las ABVD (p=0,017). La asociación no se mantuvo (p>0,05) al estratificarla por el sexo y la edad. Conclusión: La práctica regular de actividad física es una conducta importante en La prevención/mejoría de la incapacidad funcional de la población de mayores evaluados. doi: 10.5020/18061230.2015.p126Objetivo: Analisar a associação entre o nível de atividade física habitual e a incapacidade funcional de idosos residentes em áreas rurais. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 104 idosos residentes em uma zona rural de um município do Nordeste do Brasil. Foram utilizados um questionário com informações sociodemográficas e hábitos de vida, o questionário internacional de atividades físicas (versão adaptada para idosos) e a Escala de Katz para avaliação do estado funcional na realização das atividades básicas da vida diária (ABVD). Para avaliar a associação das variáveis de interesse, foram utilizados como medida de associação a razão de prevalência e seus respectivos intervalos de confiança, e como medida de significância estatística foi utilizado o teste qui-quadrado de Pearson, adotando p≤0,05. Resultados: A maioria dos idosos foi classificada como insuficientemente ativa (64,2%). Associações a níveis estatisticamente significantes foram observadas entre atividade física e idade (p=0,004), situação conjugal (p=0,020) e escolaridade (p=0,002). A prática de atividade física associou-se à incapacidade funcional para a realização das ABVD (p=0,017). Quando estratificada por sexo e idade, a associação não se manteve (p>0,05). Conclusão: A prática regular de atividade física apresenta-se como um comportamento importante na prevenção/ melhora da incapacidade funcional entre a população de idosos avaliados.Universidade de Fortaleza2015-03-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Peer-reviewed Article""Avaliado pelos pares""Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/311010.5020/18061230.2015.p126Brazilian Journal in Health Promotion; Vol. 28 No. 1 (2015); 126-132Revista Brasileña en Promoción de la Salud; Vol. 28 Núm. 1 (2015); 126-132Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde; v. 28 n. 1 (2015); 126-1321806-1230reponame:Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúdeinstname:Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)instacron:UFORporenghttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/3110/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/3110/pdf_1Rodrigues, Wisla Keile MedeirosRocha, Saulo VasconcelosVasconcelos, Lelia Renata CarneiroDiniz, Keila de Oliveirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-02-16T12:25:39Zoai:ojs.ojs.unifor.br:article/3110Revistahttps://periodicos.unifor.br/RBPS/oai1806-12301806-1222opendoar:2022-02-16T12:25:39Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde - Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)false
