“…The social transformation that is necessary to improve physical fitness, and consequently population health, requires the participation of different health professionals in addition to public policies that promote conditions for the adherence and maintenance of regular physical activities with supervision 25 . Corroborating this idea, the study of Virtuoso et al 26 suggests that investing in active aging, by providing adequate spaces for physical activity, reduces the increasing demand and use of health services by the population aged 60 years or older.…”

“…Therefore, to offer better benefits to the population, public health policies based on the practice of physical activities could be linked to projects and agendas of the fields of education, labor, healthcare, infrastructure, public safety, and others, as this study suggests that simple physical activity, isolated and decontextualized, is not able to broadly improve the quality of life of an individual 25,26 . Some limitations should be considered when interpreting the results.…”

ABSTRACT:Objective: To investigate the association between both demographic and socioeconomic conditions with physical fitness and regular practice of physical exercises in participants of community projects, supervised by a physical education teacher. This enabled to investigate whether the adoption of an active lifestyle depends only on the personal choice or has any influence of socioeconomic factors. Methods: 213 individuals aged over 50 years joined the study, and provided information about their socioeconomic status (age, gender, education/years of study, and income); usual level of physical activity (ULPA); and physical fitness, by a physical battery tests which allowed the calculation of general functional fitness index (GFFI). Results: The generalized linear model showed that participants ranked in the highest GFFI groups (good and very good) had more years of study and higher income (p < 0.05). The multiple linear regression model complements the previous analysis, demonstrating the magnitude of the change in the GFFI in association with the years of study (group > 15), income (all groups) and age (p < 0.05). By means of analysis of variance, a difference between the groups was verified and longer practice of exercises (> 6 months) were also associated with education and income (p < 0.05); among the groups with exercise practice whether greater than or equal to six months, that supervised showed better results in the GFFI (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The association between variables strengthens the hypothesis that adherence and maintenance of physical exercise might not be only dependent of individual's choice, but also the socioeconomic factors, which can influence the choice for any active lifestyle.

Introduction: Healthy aging and quality of life has become a major desire of contemporary society. Understanding the profile of this population will allow the creation of more appropriate policies and actions for the promotion of health and quality of life. Objective: To map aspects related to health and quality of life as perceived by elderly residents of the city of Canindé, in the central sertão region of the state of Ceará. Method: A quantitative, cross-sectional, household-based study was performed. From a population of 5,214 elderly persons, proportional stratified sampling resulted in a sample of 372 individuals. A characterization questionnaire addressing sociodemographic characteristics and health status and the abbreviated version of WHOQOL were used. SPSS version 16.0 was used for descriptive and inferential statistics, adopting a significance level of 5%. Results: Most elderly individuals were female, married, brown skinned, aged 60 to 69 years old, with an incomplete primary education and an income of up to one minimum wage. Most of the elderly persons had attended 1-3 consultations/admissions in the last 12 months, and reported a high prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis, anxiety and cardiovascular diseases, despite describing their health and quality of life as "good". In terms of quality of life, the psychological domain had the highest, and the environmental domain had the lowest mean score. Conclusions: The prevalent diseases/comorbidities belonged to the chronic non-communicable diseases group. The environmental domain negatively influenced overall quality of life, indicating the importance of environments that provide health promotion and quality of life for elderly people from rural regions.

“…National Health Survey data indicate, overall, a higher percentage (25%) among people aged 60 years and over (GEOGRAPHY AND STATISTICS BRAZILIAN INSTITUTE, 2015); while among elderly practitioners of physical activity, (71.5%) were observed higher values (VIRTUOSO et al, 2012). The expansion of supply and reorganization of health services that occurred in recent years contributed to better access of elderly to these services (VIRTUOSO et al, 2012;OLIVEIRA et al, 2012. ).…”
