THE PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES OF PNU STUDENTS

SUMMARY

The purpose of the study was to gather information on the participation to physical activity of the Philippine Normal University – North Luzon students. Data were gathered using a survey questionnaire and a follow-up interview to validate the respondent’s information given on the survey. Results revealed that the respondents are a bunch of active people for the past twelve months, who are into walking as part of their physical activity for about 2-4 hours per week. Women favor walking more than the men respondents.  It was also found out that they exercise mostly with their friends to improve their health status. For the inactive group, they are not into physical activity because of time constraints, busy doing other things, but given the chance, would like to engage in dance and sports activities.

La actividad física y el riesgo cardiovascular en la comunidad “Orlando Nodarse” del municipio Mariel / Physical activity and cardiovascular risk in the community “Orlando Nodarse” of Mariel municipality La actividad física y el riesgo cardiovascular en la comunidad “Orlando Nodarse” del municipio Mariel / Physical activity and cardiovascular risk in the community “Orlando Nodarse” of Mariel municipalityObjetivo: describir los factores de riesgo cardiovascular y el grado de asociación entre la inactividad física y el riesgo cardiovascular global estimado.Materiales y Métodos: se realizó un estudio explicativo de observacional de casos y controles, entre enero ynoviembre del 2017, en la comunidad “Orlando Nodarse”. Se trabajó una población de 488 individuos con edades entre 50 y 69 años, se obtuvo una muestra de 224 pacientes. Fue aplicado como método teórico el análisis documental y como métodos empíricos sendos cuestionarios para obtener datos relativos a la existencia de factores de riesgo y elnivel de actividad física, mediciones antropométricas, de presión arterial y determinaciones de glicemia y colesterol total. La estimación del riesgo cardiovascular se realizó utilizando las tablas de riesgo de la OMS/ISH. La variable de independencia fue el nivel de inactividad física, como variable de respuesta el riesgo cardiovascular global. Fue utilizado para determinar la asociación de variables el coeficiente de contingencia, con un nivel de significación estadística de 0,05.Resultados: se demostró alta prevalencia de factores de riesgo cardiovascular y la asociación entre el bajo nivel de actividad física y el riesgo cardiovascular global.Conclusiones: existe asociación entre el bajo nivel de actividad física y el riesgo cardiovascular elevado; fueron elconsumo de tabaco y la hipertensión arterial los factores de riesgo cardiovascular más frecuentes.ABSTRACTObjective: to describe the cardiovascular risk factors and the degree of association between physical inactivity and the estimated global cardiovascular risk. Materials and Methods: an observational observational study of cases and controls was conducted between January and November 2017, in the “Orlando Nodarse” community. A population of 488 individuals aged between 50 and 69 years was studied, a sample of 224 patients was obtained. The documentary analysis was applied as a theoretical method and as empirical methods two questionnaires to obtain data related to the existence of risk factors and the level of physical activity, anthropometric measurements, blood pressure and determinations of glycemia and total cholesterol. The estimation of cardiovascular risk was performed using the WHO / ISH risk tables. The independence variable was the level of physical inactivity, as a response variable the global cardiovascular risk. Force used to determine the association of variables the coefficient of contingency, with a level of statistical significance of 0.05.Results: high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and the association between low level of physical activity and global cardiovascular risk were demonstrated.Conclusions: there is an association between low level of physical activity and high cardiovascular risk; tobacco consumption and high blood pressure were the most frequent cardiovascular risk factors.Keywords: cadiovascular risk; cardiovascular disease; cardiovascular prevention; physical activity.
