Physical Inactivity, Sedentary Behavior and Quality of Life in the Chilean Population: ENCAVI Results, 2015–2016

“…Once the benefits of PA became crucial points to be promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO), research began to focus on SB and PI due to their high levels of associated mortality [ 18 ]. In 2010 it was estimated that 3.2 million people died annually due to a lack of PA, placing it as the fourth largest mortality factor in the population [ 19 ]. These data are still concerning today, since the COVID-19 pandemic saw reports of major rises in PI and SB levels worldwide due to mandatory lockdowns, teleworking in some work groups [ 20 , 21 , 22 ], and the impossibility of performing activities outside the home, such as social interactions or open-air sports [ 23 , 24 ].…”

Association between Lower-Body Strength, Health-Related Quality of Life, Depression Status and BMI in the Elderly Women with Depression

These comorbidities, together with the antidepressant drug treatment, entail a polypharmacy that, in addition to causing a high cost for public health services, also leads to an increase in BMI, cognitive impairment [ 32 , 33 ], is associated with a poorer QoL [ 34 ] and lack of physical activity [ 35 ]; leading to a loss of strength, causing a sedentary lifestyle, increased BMI levels, low self-esteem and worse QoL, which negatively affect the state of depression.…”

Sedentarismo en los docentes de edad dorada: factores predictores, consecuencias y estrategias de afrontamiento

“…En Colombia, se realizó un estudio que demuestra que el sedentarismo se generó por la presencia de la pandemia generada por la covid-19, cuya relación ha sido altamente significativa; el sedentarismo se explicó por la ausencia del ejercicio físico en las personas; se produjo una inactividad total (Rodríguez Eslava et al, 2020). El sedentarismo actualmente se ha constituido en un problema muy significativo e importante, de prioridad mayor para la salud pública (Ahumada & Toffoletto, 2020). En los adultos mayores, los factores de riesgo son "las dislipidemias, la hipertensión arterial, sedentarismo y el predominio del sobrepeso" (Soria et al, 2020, p. 1).…”

“…El estudio se ha propuesto lograr el objetivo: analizar los factores, las consecuencias y las estrategias de afrontamiento del sedentarismo en docentes jubilados. Es una conducta sedentaria que significa sentarse en vez de desplazarse, en vez de continuar trabajando, en el entorno laboral durante el tiempo libre, durante el uso de la computadora, sentarse en el automóvil, sentarse durante la observación de la televisión, sin desgate de energías (Ahumada & Toffoletto, 2020). El sedentarismo es un estilo de vida de las personas, tal estilo carece de movimiento, de actividad física, cuyas personas permanecen inactivas menos de 90 minutos de actividad física durante una semana (Vázquez et al, 2019).…”

“…ParaAguilar (2020), el sedentarismo produce problemas en la salud de las personas, produce enfermedades cardiovasculares, metabólicas, no queda al margen la presencia y los riesgos de la muerte prematura, el desarrollo de la diabetes. SegúnGómez & Royo (2020) el sedentarismo tiene relación con la obesidad en todas las edades: niñez, juventud y adultez Ahumada & Toffoletto (2020). sostienen que el sedentarismo aumenta los riesgos de diversas enfermedades no transmisibles; es decir, enfermedades cardiovasculares, también diabetes y dislipidemias.Por su parte, Del Llano (2018) sustenta que el sobrepeso y la obesidad quedan asociados con la actividad física y el sedentarismo, en la experiencia de la población adulta García (2020).…”
