Self-assessment of health in the elderly population: Impact of a physical exercises program
Autoevaluación de la salud en la población mayor: Impacto de un programa de ejercicios físicos
Autoavaliação da saúde na população idosa: Impacto de um programa de exercícios físicos
Abstract (en)
The objective of the study was to evaluate the Self-Assessment of Health (SAH) in elderly individuals before and after participating in a physical exercise program. It was a quasi-experimental study conducted with 96 elderly participants ( = 67 ± 6.07 years) enrolled in a 16-week physical exercise program. Before and after the program, participants filled out a medical history form and the Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36). The study found a prevalence of obesity (75.6%), with the predominant health conditions being hypertension (27.08% of the sample) and diabetes (5.21%), while 7.29% reported having both conditions. A notable enhancement in SAH was observed following the completion of the exercise program, both in terms of physical health (∆%= 3.75%, p = 0.0002), mental health (∆%= 17.95%, p = 0.004), and the overall SAH index (∆%= 6.75%, p = 0.001). This suggests the importance of physical exercise programs for the self-assessment of health in elderly individuals.

El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la Autoevaluación de la Salud (AS) en personas mayores antes y después de involucrarse en un programa de ejercicio físico. Fue un estudio cuasi-experimental realizado con 96 participantes de edad avanzada ( = 67 ± 6.07 años) inscritos en un programa de ejercicio físico de 16 semanas. Antes y después del programa, los participantes completaron un formulario de historial médico y el Cuestionario de Encuesta de Salud Short Form 36 (SF-36). El estudio encontró una prevalencia de obesidad (75.6%), con las condiciones de salud predominantes siendo la hipertensión (27.08% de la muestra) y la diabetes (5.21%), mientras que el 7.29% informó tener ambas condiciones. Se observó una mejora notable en la AS después de finalizar el programa de ejercicio, en lo que respecta a la salud física (∆%= 3.75%, p = 0.0002), la salud mental (∆%= 17.95%, p = 0.004) y el índice general de SAH (∆%= 6.75%, p = 0.001). Esto indica la relevancia de los programas de ejercicio físico para la autoevaluación de la salud en la población de adultos mayores.
Abstract (pt)
O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a Autoavaliação de Saúde - AS, de pessoas idosas, antes e após a realização de um programa de exercícios físicos. Trata-se de um estudo quasi-experimental, realizado com 96 pessoas idosas (X= 67 土 6,07 anos), participantes de um programa de exercícios físicos com duração de 16 semanas. Os participantes, antes a pós o programa, preencheram uma anamnese de o Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36). Encontrou-se prevalência de obesidade (75,6%); com condição predominante de hipertensão (27,08% da amostra), diabetes (5,21%), enquanto 7,29% relataram ambos. Observou-se uma melhora significativa na AV, após a realização do progrma de exercícios, tanto nos aspectos de saúde física (∆%= 3,75%, p = 0,0002), mental (∆%= 17,95%, p = 0,004), como no índice geral de AS (∆%= 6,75%, p = 0,001). Pode-se concluir a importância de programas de exercícios físicos para a AS das pessoas idosas.
