Resumo
Introduction: The increase in life expectancy is a process that manifests itself in many
countries of the world, including Brazil. From the age of 40, biological systems begin
to exhibit physiological changes in the aging of the cardiovascular, muscular and
neural systems, reflecting a poor perception of quality of life. In this context, physical
activity (PA) generates adaptations in the body that can have a positive impact on the
perception of quality of life (QOL). It is therefore important to study how the exercise
programs proposed by public bodies can influence the process of physiological aging
and quality of life, in order to subsidize health professionals and support public policies.
can intervene more effectively in the health of this population, Objective: To study the
physiological parameters related to cardiovascular health, anthropometric parameters
and QOL of adults in the aging process, related to the activities developed as part of a
public health program. Methodology: After signing an informed consent form and
endorsing the ethics committee, data were collected from both sexes, aged 40 or older,
divided into a group of followers who were the ones who completed the survey.
activities in the exercise orientation service (EOS) and the group of non-adherents who
were sedentary. For comparisons and associations between groups, a map with sociodemographic information was collected, anthropometric data, cardiopulmonary
exercise test (CPET), resting and stress blood pressure variation, blood collection for
analysis. biochemistry, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), the
24-hour food recall and the WHOQOL-8 quality of life questionnaire. Statistical
processing of continuous variables with normal distribution has been described with
mean and standard deviation; ordinal or asymmetric variables with median and
interquartile range and nominal variables with frequency and percentage. The
Student's t-test was unpaired and Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were used,
as well as a significance level of 5%. Results: Differences were observed between the
groups for BMI data, with the number of non-adherent adherents increasing by 17%
compared to adherents, as well as body mass of 9%, while adherents obtained better
results. Results with differences. of 17% between groups and divided into domains,
the physical, psychological and environmental domains were those with the best
values. Regarding the classification of cardiorespiratory fitness, 20 of the 23
participants in the study had a regular or good classification and 12 non-adherents.
Conclusion: Some differences were found in the variables between groups. Mainly in
relation to QOL, which is important because the aging process is not only dependent
on biological factors, but also on external factors. Thus, these findings point to a
beneficial effect of public health programs, although it is necessary to invest in
clarifying, with further investigation, whether the longitudinal effect of this intervention
with AF has an impact on the population studied.
