Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Assessing physical activity (PA) in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) is essential to follow-up the recommended PA level. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the Incidental and Planned Exercise Questionnaire (IPEQ) have been widely used, but their validity has not been investigated previously in PwMS. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the convergent and criterion validity of the IPAQ and the IPEQ in PwMS. METHODS: 50 PwMS were asked to wear an Actigraph for seven days and to fill the IPAQ and IPEQ. Sedentary, moderate (MPA), vigorous (VPA) and moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA) levels were recorded. RESULTS: Significant correlations were found between sitting time as reported by IPAQ and sedentary time as recorded by Actigraph (r = 0.41, p = 0.003), VPA by IPAQ and VPA as recorded by Actigraph (r = 0.46, p = 0.001), and MVPA by IPAQ and MVPA by Actigraph (r = 0.36, p = 0.011). IPEQ showed poor both criterion and convergent validity when compared to the Actigraph. Both IPAQ and IPEQ overestimate the intensities of PA for all the derived parameters. CONCLUSIONS: Findings of this study are important as they suggest that IPAQ in particular had convergent validity when compared to Actigraph data, but still had the problem of overestimating PA levels.

This study examined reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire–Long Form (IPAQ-LC) in Chinese seniors, including moderating effects of neighborhood walkability and socioeconomic status (SES) on reliability and validity. The IPAQ-LC was interviewer-administered (n = 96), accelerometer and 7-day walk-diary data were collected (n = 94), and the IPAC-LC was readministered (N = 92). Acceptable reliability was found for all measures of physical activity (PA) overall and across different types of neighborhood. Participants from highly walkable neighborhoods were more reliable at estimating walking for transport. Participants from low-SES areas were less reliable at estimating leisure-time PA and sitting but more reliable at estimating transport-related walking. IPAQ-LC walking was significantly related to light- but not moderate-intensity accelerometry-based PA. It was moderately to strongly related to a 7-day diary of walking. The data imply slow-paced walking, probably due to age, climate, and terrain. The findings suggest that the IPAQ-LC’s reliability and validity are acceptable in Chinese seniors.

International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) are the two most widely used to measure physical activity (PA). Yet, their convergent validation with the maximum oxygen capacity (VO2Max) among Indonesian young adults is unknown. This study compared physical activity (PA) assessments using IPAQ and GPAQ and their correlations with the maximal oxygen capacity (VO2Max) in the young adult population. This study was a cross-sectional descriptive study on 63 Sports Science students (84.13% Male age ranged 18-22 years). PA was measured using both the GPAQ and IPAQ to calculate the total PA and PA in each domain (i.e. work-related, transport-related, and leisure). One additional domain which was household-related was assessed exclusively for the IPAQ based on the scoring guideline. The VO2Max was measured using a standard equation based on participants’ performance on a 1-mile run. Paired sample t-test was conducted to compare total PA based on GPAQ and IPAQ while the Wilcoxon sign rank test was conducted to compare GPAQ and IPAQ domains. Pearson or Spearman correlation test assessed the correlations among the VO2Max, total PA, and PA on each GPAQ’s and IPAQ domain. No significant difference in the total PA per week between IPAQ and GPAQ was found. Significant differences, however, were found in work and transport domains, but not in the leisure domains. A moderate correlation among GPAQ and IPAQ (r=0.56, p=0.01), a moderate correlation between GPAQ and VO2Max (r=0.41, p= 0.01) but a weak correlation between IPAQ dan VO2Max (r=0.25, p<0.05) were demonstrated. While, this study has indicated convergent validity of both GPAQ and IPAQ, GPAQ has a higher correlation with VO2Max compared to the IPAQ. Therefore, GPAQ is more recommended to be used to measure PA levels among Indonesian young adults compared to IPAQ.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Shigella flexneri causes human dysentery after invading the cells of the colonic epithelium. The best-studied effectors of Shigella entry into colonocytes are the invasion plasmid antigens IpaC and IpaB. These proteins are exported via a type III secretion system (TTSS) to form a pore in the host membrane that may allow the translocation of other effectors into the host cytoplasm. TTSS-mediated secretion of IpaD is also required for translocation pore formation, bacterial invasion, and virulence, but the mechanistic role of this protein is unclear. IpaD is also known to be involved in controlling Ipa protein secretion, but here it is shown that this activity can be separated from its requirement for cellular invasion. Amino acids 40 to 120 of IpaD are not essential for IpaD-dependent invasion; however, deletions in this region still lead to constitutive IpaB/IpaC secretion. Meanwhile, a central deletion causes only a partial loss of control of Ipa secretion but completely eliminates IpaD's invasion function, indicating that IpaD's role in invasion is not a direct outcome of its ability to control Ipa secretion. As shigellae expressing ipaD N-terminal deletion mutations have reduced contact-mediated hemolysis activity and are less efficient at introducing IpaB and IpaC into erythrocyte membranes, it is possible that IpaD is responsible for insertion of IpaB/IpaC pores into target cell membranes. While efficient insertion of IpaB/IpaC pores is needed for optimal invasion efficiency, it may be especially important for Ipa-dependent membrane disruption and thus for efficient vacuolar escape and intercellular spread.

Full textAbstract:
Background:The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) is commonly used in surveys, but reliability and validity has not been established in the Danish population.Methods:Among participants in the Danish Health Examination survey 2007–2008, 142 healthy participants (45% men) wore a unit that combined accelerometry and heart rate monitoring (Acc+HR) for 7 consecutive days and then completed the IPAQ. Background data were obtained from the survey. Physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) and time in moderate, vigorous, and sedentary intensity levels were derived from the IPAQ and compared with estimates from Acc+HR using Spearman’s correlation coefficients and Bland-Altman plots. Repeatability of the IPAQ was also assessed.Results:PAEE from the 2 methods was significantly positively correlated (0.29 and 0.49; P = 0.02 and P < 0.001; for women and men, respectively). Men significantly overestimated PAEE by IPAQ (56.2 vs 45.3 kJ/kg/day, IPAQ: Acc+HR, P < .01), while the difference was nonsignificant for women (40.8 vs 44.4 kJ/kg/day). Bland-Altman plots showed that the IPAQ overestimated PAEE, moderate, and vigorous activity without systematic error. Reliability of the IPAQ was moderate to high for all domains and intensities (total PAEE intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.58).Conclusions:This Danish Internet-based version of the long IPAQ had modest validity and reliability when assessing PAEE at population level.

Full textAbstract:
Background:The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) has received significant attention since the late 1990s. As it currently stands, its long version has been translated in English, German, Icelandic, Korean, Polish, Spanish, Turkish, and Vietnamese. However no data originating from the self-administered long version (last 7 days) of the IPAQ (IPAQ-SALV) is available for French Canadians. This study developed a self-administered long version (last 7 days) of the IPAQ in Canadian French (IPAQ-SALVCF) and assessed its psychometric properties.Methods:The original IPAQ-SALV was linguistically translated, back-translated, and then reviewed in a focus group to ensure its meaning had been retained. Data were collected on a sample of 34 Francophones from Northern Ontario, and the results compared with step counts assessed by 7-day pedometer recording. Test-retest reliability was examined with a 24-hour delay between questionnaire completion on day 8 and day 9 of the protocol. Convergent validity was assessed by comparing IPAQ-SALVCF (last 7 days) results to average step counts over a 7-day period.Results:Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) revealed that the IPAQ-SALVCF results were stable between days. The ICC for total activity scores was highest at 0.93 (CI: 0.86 to 0.97). Total activity scores were also significantly related to pedometer step counts (Pearson r = .66 P < .01). These results confirm those obtained in prior researchConclusion:The IPAQ-SALVCF is a reliable and valid measure of physical activity for French Canadians.

Full textAbstract:
Background:The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) was developed as an improvement of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) for use in cross-cultural settings. This study compared the reliability and validity of GPAQ and IPAQ in Vietnam.Methods:251 adults were randomly selected from a population-based survey (n = 1978) of noncommunicable disease risk factors. GPAQ and IPAQ were administered on 2 occasions. Participants wore pedometers and logged their physical activity (PA) for 7 consecutive days.Results:Test-retest correlations of GPAQ measurements differed for participants (n = 153) with stable work patterns (work PA r = .43, total PA r = .39) and those (n = 98) with unstable work patterns (work PA r = −0.02, total PA r = −0.05). IPAQ measurements did not differ in this way. GPAQ reliability was poorer for transport (GPAQ r = .25, IPAQ r = .60) and for leisure (GPAQ r = .21, IPAQ r = .45) PA. GPAQ estimates of total PA for participants with stable work patterns were moderately correlated with IPAQ total PA (r = .32), steps per day (r = .39), and PA log (r = .31).Conclusions:The modifications made when designing GPAQ improved its reliability for persons with stable work patterns, but at the expense of poorer reliability for persons with more variable PA. GPAQ did not have superior validity to IPAQ.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Shigella flexneri contact with enterocytes induces a burst of protein secretion via its type III secretion apparatus (TTSA) as an initial step in cellular invasion. We have previously reported that IpaD is positioned at the TTSA needle tip (M. Espina et al., Infect. Immuno. 74:4391-4400, 2006). From this position, IpaD senses small molecules in the environment to control the presentation of IpaB to the needle tip. This step occurs without type III secretion induction or IpaC recruitment to the S. flexneri surface. IpaC is then transported to the S. flexneri surface when target cell lipids are added, and this event presumably mimics host cell contact. Unlike IpaB mobilization, IpaC surface presentation is closely linked to secretion induction. This study demonstrates that sphingomyelin and cholesterol are key players in type III secretion induction and that they appear to interact with IpaB to elicit IpaC presentation at the TTSA needle tip. Furthermore, IpaB localization at the needle tip prior to membrane contact provides the optimal set of conditions for host cell invasion. Thus, the S. flexneri type III secretion system can be induced in a stepwise manner, with the first step being the stable association of IpaD with the needle tip, the second step being the sensing of small molecules by IpaD to mobilize IpaB to the tip, and the third step being the interaction of lipids with IpaB to induce IpaC localization at the needle tip concomitant with translocon insertion into the host membrane and type III secretion induction.

Background:To be able to draw any conclusions regarding the health effects of occupational physical activity (OPA), more information is needed regarding valid measures to assess OPA. Aims were to compare OPA as assessed with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire long version (IPAQ-L) with OPA assessed with an accelerometer and to assess the contribution of OPA to total PA.Methods:Working adults (n = 441; mean age = 49.4 yrs; 44% males) wore an accelerometer for 7 days in free-living situations and completed the IPAQ-L. Comparisons were made between IPAQ-L-work and accelerometer data limited to working time (Moderate and Vigorous PA (accelerometer-MVPA-work) and average intensity). Subgroup analyses were performed.Results:Spearman correlation was r = .46 (P < .01) between IPAQ-L-work and accelerometer-MVPA-work. Correlations ranged from r = .27 to r = .55 in respectively obese and overweight subjects. The contribution of IPAQ-L-work to IPAQ-total was 24.7%.Conclusions:The IPAQ-L work domain is a moderately good measure of time spent on MVPA at work and can be used to assess the contribution of OPA to total PA. This study provides valuable information regarding the use of the IPAQ-L in assessing work domain specific PA, and underscores the importance of assessing OPA, as it can contribute for a substantial part to total PA.

Background:The aim of this study was to compare physical activity components in the long, self-administrated version of IPAQ with an accelerometer in a population sample.Methods:In total 980 subjects (18-65 years) wore an accelerometer (Actigraph) for 7 consecutive days and thereafter filled in the IPAQ. Measures of total physical activity, time spent in moderate and in vigorous activity as well as time spent sitting as assessed by the IPAQ and the Actigraph were compared.Results:The results showed significant low to moderate correlations (Rs = 0.07−0.36) between the 2 instruments and significantly (P < .001) higher values for sitting and vigorous intensity physical activity from the IPAQ compared with the Actigraph. The higher the values reported by the IPAQ the bigger differences were seen between the instruments. Comparison between the tertiles of total physical activity by the 2 instruments showed significant overall association with consistent agreement in the low and the high tertiles.Conclusion:The long form of IPAQ is a valid measure of physical activity in population research. However, the IPAQ likely overestimates actual physical activity as shown by its limited ability to classify adults into low and high categories of physical activity based on accelerometer data.

Full textAbstract:
INTRODUZIONE: Gli interventi sullo stile di vita, in particolar modo l’attività fisica e la dieta, rappresentano la prima scelta terapeutica nella gestione dei pazienti diabetici. Tuttavia anche la terapia non farmacologica richiede l’adattamento e la personalizzazione al singolo individuo. Le metodiche di valutazione dell’attività fisica e di indagine nutrizionale più accurate risultano laboriose, costose ed a volte invasive e quindi mal si adattano alle necessità e alle risorse tipiche delle realtà ambulatoriali. Gli obiettivi di questo lavoro sono stati: 1) definire il dispendio da attività fisica di persone affette da vari tipi di diabete (diabete tipo 2, diabete tipo 1, diabete gestazionale) attraverso modalità di indagine validate, semplici e realizzabili su ampia scala in un setting ambulatoriale; 2) correlare i dati sull’attività fisica con i principali parametri antropometrici, metabolici e di rischio cardiovascolare; 3) verificare l’applicabilità di questo sistema di indagine in una popolazione di pazienti anziani; 4) elaborare un metodo di valutazione semplificato per l’aderenza alle indicazioni della terapia nutrizionale.
MATERIALI E METODI: Sono stati reclutati 677 pazienti affetti da diabete; dei quali 101 affetti da diabete tipo 1 (DM1) e 576 affetti da diabete tipo 2 (DM2). E’ stato analizzato anche un sottogruppo di pazienti gravide con diabete: 63 pazienti gestanti affette da diabete. Per la sotto-analisi relativa alla popolazione anziana, l’intera coorte è stata suddivisa in base all’età in pazienti “giovani” (< 65anni) e “anziani” (>65 anni). In tutti i pazienti è stato valutato il dispendio energetico da attività fisica mediante l’uso di un questionario di valutazione IPAQ. In un sottogruppo di 200 pazienti, infine, è stato testato un questionario alimentare semplificato, appositamente creato, con l’obiettivo di delineare in maniera rapida le caratteristiche della dieta dei soggetti in studio. Il rischio cardiovascolare è stato stimato mediante l’algoritmo UKPDS. Il confronto tra due gruppi di medie è stato eseguito mediante test t di Student per campioni indipendenti; il confronto tra più gruppi mediante ANOVA One Way ed analisi post hoc di Tukey. Le differenze di frequenze sono state analizzate mediante tabella di contingenza 2 x 2 e test χ-quadro. È stata inoltre effettuata un’analisi di correlazione mediante test di Pearson.
RISULTATI: Il 61% dei pazienti DM1 ed il 55,9 % dei DM2 hanno mostrato un livello di dispendio energetico classificato come basso. Suddividendo i pazienti in base ai quartili (q) di spesa energetica (espressa in METs) abbiamo, rilevato nei pazienti diabetici autoimmuni, differenze statisticamente significative nella distribuzione del peso (2°q: 74.86 vs 4°q: 65.16 Kg; p=0.023) e dei Trigliceridi (2°q: 98.21vs 2°q: 58.29mg/dl; p=0.014); nei DM2 abbiamo rilevato una ridotta percentuale di rischio di ictus (1°q: 15.55 vs 4°q: 10.47%; p<0.05) di patologie coronariche (1°q: 20.72 vs 4°q: 16.27%; p<0.05) e di patologie coronariche fatali (1°q: 15.84 vs 4°q: 11.5%; p<0.05) nei quartili di spesa energetica superiore al primo. Il 45% delle pazienti gravide esaminate hanno mostrato un livello di dispendio energetico basso. Suddividendo per livelli di dispendio energetico abbiamo rilevato differenze significative nella distribuzione di col tot (basso: 250.67 vs medio: 157.33mg/dl; p<0.05) e trigliceridi (basso: 194 vs medio: 53.33mg/dl; p<0.05). Tra i pazienti anziani esaminati, il 55,6% hanno mostrato un dispendio energetico basso. Analizzando i pazienti per dispendio energetico abbiamo rilevato una differenza tendenzialmente significativa nella distribuzione dell’età (basso: 73.2 vs medio: 71.7anni; p=0.052) e della durata della malattia (basso: 14.16 vs alto: 8.82anni; p=0.057). Valutando i risultati del sottogruppo di pazienti sottoposti al questionario alimentare (punteggio min: 28 max: 112 punti) abbiamo rilevato che: il 4% dei pazienti ha ottenuto un punteggio basso (50-70 punti), medio il 78,5% (71-91 punti), alto il 17,5% (92-112 punti). Il punteggio totale del questionario correla negativamente con il BMI medio (R2: -0,125; p=0,079), e con i valori di transaminasi-GTP (R2: -0,240; p=0,044).
CONCLUSIONI: L’analisi dei dati conferma che la maggior parte dei soggetti in esame hanno un grado di dispendio energetico basso, e questo suggerisce che l’implementazione della modifica dello stile di vita dovrebbe essere affrontata come un problema sociale di primaria importanza. È stata evidenziata per la prima volta una correlazione diretta tra entità del dispendio energetico e riduzione del rischio cardiovascolare: ciò appare particolarmente importante, nell’ottica dell’approccio globale al paziente diabetico. Le metodiche indagate potrebbero risultare utili nell’individuazione rapida di gruppi di pazienti omogenei da indirizzare a determinati interventi terapeutici e preventivi, al fine di personalizzare sempre più le scelte terapeutiche ed ottimizzare le risorse a disposizione dei singoli ambulatori.

Projeto de Graduação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de licenciada em EnfermagemA associação entre a prática de atividade física e um melhor padrão de saúde tem sido relatada na literatura. A prática de exercício físico de forma regular influencia a qualidade de vida da pessoa. Por isso, conhecer o padrão de atividade física constitui o primeiro passo para a definição de qualquer programa de saúde. A importância da atividade física como um recurso para prevenir e controlar as doenças que não são de declaração obrigatória (ex. diabetes, doenças cardiovasculares, etc.) assim como para a definição de programas, politicas e guidelines tem vindo a ser assumido pelas entidades nacionais (DGS) e internacionais (OMS).Todavia, a evidência sobre o padrão de atividade física da população portuguesa é escassa. Por conseguinte, enveredou-se por uma investigação que toma como objeto de estudo a caracterização da atividade física. O estudo desenvolvido teve como objetivos: (1) caracterizar o padrão de atividade física de jovens adultos de uma freguesia de Vila do Conde; (2) caracterizar o padrão de atividade física segundo o género dos jovens adultos de uma freguesia de Vila do Conde; e, (3) analisar a diferença ao nível do padrão de atividade física dos jovens adultos em função do género, estado civil, nível de ensino e idade.Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, transversal, correlacional e inserido no paradigma quantitativo. A população em estudo versa adultos jovens, de uma freguesia de Vila do Conde. Participaram no estudo 30 adultos jovens de ambos os sexos, que soubessem ler e escrever e que aceitassem participar no estudo. Para a recolha de dados recorreu-se ao Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ) – Versão Curta. O instrumento de recolha de dados foi constituído por duas partes: a primeira parte, elaborada especificamente para o estudo, contemplou cinco questões que visaram a caracterização da amostra; e, a segunda, constituída pelo IPAQ. Os principais resultados indicam que a maior parte dos participantes neste estudo pode ser considerado dentro do padrão de Atividade Física “ativo” definidos pela classificação da OMS. Na análise comparativa entre homens e mulheres, os homens reportaram padrão de atividade física superior aos das mulheres. Na análise da diferençado padrão de atividade física em função das variáveis idade, estado civil, género e nível de ensino, verificou-se não existir diferença significativa. O impacto de intervenções no âmbito de promover a atividade física precisa ser mais explorado através de estudos sistemáticos. Desta forma, poder-se-á definir programas promotoras da atividade física da população.
The association between physical activity practice and a better standard of health has been reported in the literature. The practice of physical activity on a regular basis influences the quality of life of the person. Therefore, knowing the pattern of physical activity is the first step in the definition of any health program. The importance of physical activity as a resource to prevent and control non-mandatory diseases (e.g. diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc.) as well as the definition of programs, policies and guidelines has been assumed by the national entities (DGS) and international (WHO). However, the evidence on the physical activity pattern of the Portuguese population is scarce. Therefore, an investigation was undertaken that assumes as object of study the characterization of physical activity of a young adult population. The study objectives were: (1) to characterize the physical activity pattern of young adults in a village of Vila do Conde; (2) to characterize the pattern of physical activity according to the gender of the young adults of a parish of Vila do Conde; and (3) to analyse the difference in the physical activity pattern of young adults according to gender, marital status, educational level and age.The study is a descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational study inserted in the quantitative paradigm. The population under study is young adults, from a village in Vila do Conde. The study involved 30 young adults of both sexes, who could read and write, and who agreed to participate in the study. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) – Short Version – was used to collect data. The data collection instrument consisted of two parts: the first part, elaborated specifically for the study, included five questions that aimed to characterize the sample; and the second part, constituted by IPAQ. The main results of the study indicate that most of the participants in this study can be considered within the "active" physical activity pattern as defined by the WHO. In the comparative analysis between men and women, men reported a higher level of physical activity than women. In the analysis of the difference of the physical activity patternaccording to the variables age, marital status, gender and level of education, there was no significant difference. The impact of interventions to promote physical activity needs to be further explored through systematic studies. In this way, it will be possible to define programs that promote the population's physical activity.

Introdução São escassas as evidências do impacto dos padrões de atividade física (AF) e local de residência (rural e urbano) para a dislipidemia e ao perfil lipídio. Objetivos Avaliar a associação dos padrões de atividade física e local de residência (urbano e rural) com dislipidemia. Associar a correlação do gasto energético estimado em Mets e valores e frações de colesterol e triglicérides. Metodologia Estudo Transversal em coorte prospectiva, com 4551 indivíduos com idade entre 35 e 70 anos de áreas urbana e rural. A AF foi avaliada utilizando o Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ). Foi realizada regressão múltipla para a associação de AF e local de residência com o tipo de dislipidemia. A regressão linear foi realizada para avaliar o efeito da AF e local de residência nos valores e frações de colesterol e triglicérides. Resultados A prevalência de baixa AF no rural foi de 5,1 por cento (mulheres 4,3 por cento e homens 6,0 por cento ), urbano 11,2 por cento (7,9 por cento mulheres e 5,5 por cento homens), p<0,001. A dislipidemia ocorreu em 75,3 por cento do rural e 68 por cento do urbano (p<0,001). Em mulheres 80,6 por cento do rural e 65,7 por cento do urbano (p<0,001), homens 69,1 por cento do rural e 71 por cento do urbano (p=0,369). O perfil lipídico das mulheres em mediana foi: colesterol total (CT) rural 194,51 mg/dl, e urbano 201,5 mg/dl (p<0,001), HDL rural 44,5 mg/dl e urbano 50,1 mg/dl (p<0,001) LDL rural 120,3 mg/dl e urbano 122,6 mg/dl (p=0,35), triglicérides rural 127,1 mg/dl e urbano 117,8 (p<0,001). Em homens as medianas foram: CT rural 189,5 mg/dl e urbano 196,1 mg/dl (p=0,002), HDL rural 40,2 mg/dl e urbano 41,8 mg/dl (p<0,001), LDL rural 118,3 mg/dl e urbano 121,4 mg/dl (p=0,5), triglicérides rural 131,1 mg/dl l e urbano 147,0 mg/dl (p=0,001). A dislipidemia por HDL baixo foi a mais frequente. AF domiciliar, transporte e trabalho estão associados com a redução do risco de dislipidemia. Em mulheres, o efeito no HDL da AF domiciliar foi no rural 1,001 mg/dl (p=0,021) e no urbano 1,114 mg/dl (p<0,001). Em homens do grupo urbano, o efeito de AF de transporte foi -1,42 mg/dl (p<0,001) no LDL. O efeito da AF de trabalho no HDL foi no rural 1,002 mg/dl (p<0,001) e urbano 0,042 mg/dl (p=0,04) Conclusão Existem fortes indícios da interação da atividade física e local de residência com as dislipidemias e perfil lipídico. As associações encontradas entre as atividades físicas domiciliar, transporte e trabalho e dislipidemias sugerem caminhos complementares nas estratégias de prevenção de doenças cardiovasculares na população brasileira.Introduction There is scarce evidence about the impact of physical activity (PA) and residence area (rural and urban) on dyslipidemia and lipid profile. Objectives To assess the association between patterns of physical activity, residence area (rural or urban) and dyslipidemia. To assess the correlation between energy expenditure in estimated Mets and total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and l triglycerides levels. Methodology A cross sectional evaluation in a prospective cohort with 4551 individuals aged between 35 and 70 years from rural and urban areas. The PA was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Multiple logistic regression was performed to determine the association between PA and residence area and the type of dyslipidemia. Linear regression was used to determine the effect of PA on the cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides levels. Results The prevalence of low PA in rural individuals was 5.1 per cent (4.3 per cent women and 6.0 per cent men), urban 11.2 per cent (7.9 per cent women and 5.5 per cent men), p<0,001. Dyslipidemia was present in 75.3 per cent of rural and 68 per cent of urban individuals (p<0.001). In rural women 80.6 per cent and urban women 65.7 per cent (p <0.001), rural men 69.1 per cent and urban men 71 per cent (p=0.369). The medians of lipid levels among women were: total cholesterol (CT) 164,5 mg/dl rural and 201,5 mg/dl urban (p<0,001), HDL 44,5 mg/dl rural and 50,1mg/dl (p<0,001), LDL 120,3 mg/dl rural e 122,6 mg/dl urban (p=0,35), triglycerides 127,1 mg/dl rural e 117,8 urban (p<0,001). Among men the medians of lipid levels were CT 189,5 mg/dl rural e 196,1 mg/dl urban (p=0,002), HDL 40,2 mg/dl rural e 41,8 mg/dl urban (p<0,001), LDL 118,3 mg/dl rural e 121,4 mg/dl urban (p=0,5), triglycerides 131,1 mg/dl rural e 147,0 mg/dl urban (p=0,001). Low HDL level was the most frequent. Household, transportation and occupational PA are associated with reduced risk of dyslipidemia. The effect of household PA on HDL level was 1,001 mg/dl among rural women (p=0.021) and 1,114 mg/dl (p<0.001) among urban women. In urban men, the effect of transportation PA on LDL level was -1.42 mg/dl (p<0.001). The effects of occupational PA on HDL level was 1.002 mg/dl among rural men (p<0.001) and 0.042 mg/dl among urban men (p=0.04). Conclusion There are strong indications about the interaction of physical activity and residence area with dyslipidemia and lipid profile. The observed associations between household, transportation, occupational physical activities and dyslipidemia suggest complementary ways in strategies for cardiovascular disease prevention in the Brazilian population.

Full textAbstract:
Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), whose main pathological substrate is atherosclerosis, constitutes a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the modern world. Physical inactivity, present in 85% of the population, is considered a risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. This investigation was conducted to determine the degree of physical activity in patients with ACS, using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), consorting with the in-hospital prognosis. It is an observational and analytical study, using 215 subjects, consecutively, admitted with a diagnosis of ACS in cardiology reference hospital from July 2009 to February 2011. All volunteers answered a short version of IPAQ and were followed regarding the appearance of cardiovascular events (CVE) during hospitalization from standardized assessment administered by the investigator, corroborated with data from medical records. To evaluate the association between physical activity and presence of in-hospital complication, we chose the logistic regression technique to determine the odds ratio adjusted and unadjusted. The patients were admitted with a diagnosis of unstable angina (34.4%), Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) without ST elevation (41.4%) and AMI with ST elevation (24.2%), and were classified as sedentary (39.5%), insufficiently active (16.7%), assets (35.8%) and very active (7.9%). From the standpoint of baseline, the sedentary group was older (p = 0.001), showed higher frequency of prior episodes of congestive heart failure (0.01) compared to the others and has higher systolic blood pressure, (p = 0, 05) that group is very active. It was verified the presence of ECV in 49.8% of the sample, with a linear trend in increasing frequency of acute pulmonary edema (p = 0.01), recurrent ischemia (p = 0.03) and atrial fibrillation (p ˂ 0.001), as a decrement in the level of physical activity. The occurrence of in-hospital complication was associated with length of hospitalization (OR = 1.14) and sedentary lifestyle (OR = 5.78), regardless of age, systolic blood pressure and history of congestive heart failure. Therefore, it is concluded that physical inactivity predicts ECV during hospitalization of patients with ACS.A Síndrome Coronariana Aguda (SCA), cujo principal substrato anatomopatológico é a aterosclerose, constitui uma das principais causas de morbimortalidade do mundo moderno. O sedentarismo, presente em 85% da população brasileira, é considerado fator de risco para o surgimento da aterosclerose. A presente investigação foi conduzida visando determinar o grau de atividade física em portadores de SCA, mediante a utilização do Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ), associando com o prognóstico intra-hospitalar. Trata-se de estudo observacional, transversal e analítico, utilizando-se 215 sujeitos admitidos, consecutivamente, com diagnóstico de SCA em hospital de referência cardiológica no período de julho de 2009 a fevereiro de 2011. Todos os voluntários responderam à versão curta do IPAQ e foram seguidos quanto ao aparecimento de eventos cardiovasculares (ECV) durante o internamento, a partir de avaliação padronizada, administrada pelo pesquisador, corroborada com os dados do prontuário médico. Para avaliar a associação entre nível de atividade física e presença de complicação intra-hospitalar, optou-se pela técnica de regressão logística para determinação da razão de chance ajustada e não ajustada. Os pacientes foram internados com o diagnóstico de: angina instável (34,4%), Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio (IAM) sem supra de ST (41,4%) e IAM com supra de ST (24,2%), sendo classificados como: sedentários (39,5%), insuficientemente ativos (16,7%), ativos (35,8%) e muito ativos (7,9%). Do ponto de vista basal, o grupo de sedentários era mais idoso (p=0,001), exibia maior frequência de episódio anterior de insuficiência cardíaca congestiva (0,01) comparada aos demais integrantes e apresentava pressão arterial sistólica mais elevada (p=0,05) que o grupo de muito ativo. Constatou-se a presença de ECV em 49,8% da amostra, com tendência linear crescente na frequência de edema agudo do pulmão (p=0,01), de isquemia recorrente (p=0,03) e de fibrilação atrial (p˂0,001), conforme decremento do nível de atividade física. A ocorrência de complicação intra-hospitalar esteve associada ao tempo de internamento (OR=1,14) e sedentarismo (OR=5,78), independente da idade, pressão arterial sistólica e passado de insuficiência cardíaca congestiva. Portanto, conclui-se que o sedentarismo prediz ECV durante o internamento de portadores de SCA.

Full textAbstract:
Grande parte da literatura existente no âmbito do exercício físico e saúde evidencia que, inatividade física é sedentarismo e vice-versa, sendo consensual que as suas implicações na saúde e na Qualidade de Vida (QV) das pessoas são mais do que evidentes. Elevados custos, diretos e indiretos, para o país associados a baixos índices de Atividade Física (AF) foram identificados por alguns autores. Considerado por alguns como a grande epidemia atual, o sedentarismo constitui-se como um dos fatores de risco de primeira linha, no desenvolvimento das chamadas doenças “de civilização” ou doenças crónico degenerativas. A avaliação da AF complementada com a avaliação da Composição Corporal (CC) e da QV, assumem-se como instrumentos importantes no fomento e promoção de estilos de vida mais ativos por parte da população. É nesta ótica, e comungando integralmente das preocupações e alertas manifestados por diversas organizações e sociedades científicas internacionais, relativamente aos perigos associados à inatividade física, que este estudo teve, em grande parte, a sua génese.
Assim, e tendo em atenção a escassez de estudos envolvendo grupos profissionais perfeitamente enraizados na sociedade, assumiram-se como principais objetivos: caracterizar, avaliar e comparar os níveis de AF, a CC e a QV de três profissões, nomeadamente, a bancária, a docente e a de enfermagem e, também, averiguar, em cada um destes grupos profissionais, os efeitos da AF na CC e na QV, assim como, da CC na QV. A amostra foi constituída por vinte enfermeiras (40,8±7,24 anos de idade e IMC médio de 23,6±3,1 kg/m2), vinte bancárias (38,20±6,25 anos de idade e IMC médio de 24,7±4,8 kg/m2) e vinte professoras do Ensino Básico e Secundário (44,45±8,15 anos de idade e IMC médio de 23,1±3,3 kg/m2), perfazendo um N total de sessenta indivíduos do sexo feminino. Todos os sujeitos foram submetidos à avaliação da AF (via IPAQ curto e via acelerometria), da CC (IMC, PC e %MG) e da QV (via WHOQOL-Bref). Para a avaliação da %MG foiutilizada a balança TANITA TBF – 300. Na acelerometria foi utilizado o acelerómetro GT1M durante cinco dias, três de semana e dois de fim de semana.
Observou-se que, relativamente à AF, apenas os resultados obtidos via questionário permitiram distinguir os grupos entre si. Porém, nenhum deles cumpre as recomendações mínimas de AF consentâneas com a saúde, segundo os principais organismos nacionais e internacionais.
Não foram produzidas evidências que permitissem afirmar que os três grupos diferem entre si tanto a nível da CC como da QV. Na QV, os indícios vão no sentido de que cada grupo está globalmente satisfeito. Já quanto à CC, apesar de não se terem verificado grandes desvios relativamente às referências de saúde, em alguns grupos, determinados resultados obtidos são suscetíveis de alguma preocupação.
Por fim, não ficaram totalmente evidenciadas as relações entre AF e CC, AF e QV e entre CC e QV; ABSTRACT:Much of the literature in the context of physical exercise and healthcare shows that physical inactivity is sedentarism and vice versa, and agreed that the implications for health and quality of life (QOL) is more than evident. Some authors have identified high costs, direct and indirect, for the country associated with low levels of physical activity (PA). Considered by some as the great current epidemic, the sedentary lifestyle forms an essential part of a first line risk factor for the development of diseases called "of civilization" or chronic degenerative diseases. The evaluation of PA complemented with the assessment of Body Composition (BC) and QOL, are assumed to be as important tools in fostering and promoting more active lifestyles among the population. It is from this perspective and wholly communing from warnings and concerns expressed by various organizations and international scientific societies, about the dangers associated with physical inactivity, that this study has in large part its genesis. Thus, taking into account the scarcity of studies involving occupational groups perfectly rooted in society, were assumed as main objectives: to characterize, evaluate and compare the levels of PA, BC and QOL of three professions, namely, banking, teaching and nursing, and also, to determine in each of these professional groups, the effects of PA in BC and in QOL, as well as the BC in QOL. The sample consisted of twenty nurses (40.8 ± 7.24 years and mean BMI of 23.6 ± 3.1 kg/m2), twenty bank workers (38.20 ± 6.25 years and mean BMI 24.7 ± 4.8 kg/m2) and twenty teachers of the Elementary and Secondary Education (44.45 ± 8.15 years of age and BMI of 23.1 ± 3.3 kg/m2), making a N total of sixty females subjects. All subjects underwent assessment of the PA (via short IPAQ and via accelerometry), BC (BMI, %FM and WP) and QOL (via WHOQOL-Bref). For the evaluation of %FM was used the TANITA TBF - 300 scale. In the accelerometry was used the GT1M accelerometer for five days, three days during the week and two days during the weekend.It was observed that, for PA, only the results obtained by questionnaire allowed to distinguish between groups. However, none of them meets the minimum recommendations of PA in line with healthcare, according to the main national and international organizations.
Has not been produced evidence that would permit state that the three groups differ in both BC and QOL. In QOL, the evidence points in the sense that each group is globally satisfied. As for the BC, although there have been no large deviations from healthcare reference, in some groups, certain results are susceptible of some concern.
Finally, were not fully evidenced the relationships between PA and BC, PA and QOL and between BC and Q

Full textAbstract:
Stress kan idag ses som ett av det moderna västerländska samhällets största folkhälsoproblem, där risken för att utveckla stressinducerade sjukdomar är hög. Forskning har funnit bevis på att fysisk aktivitet och sömn kan reducera stress, huruvida är det få studier som har kombinerat dessa två variabler för att undersöka högskole-och universitetsstudenters stressnivåer. Målet för studien är att undersöka om det finns en korrelation mellan studenters sömnvanor, grad av fysisk aktivitet och individernas upplevda stress. Studiens syfte besvarades med hjälp av två hypoteser; 1. Graden av fysisk aktivitet reducerar studenters stressnivåer, 2. Hög kvalitativ sömn reducerar studenters stressnivåer. Fortsättningsvis användes Krav-kontrollmodellen av Karasek och Theorell (1990) för att förstå studenternas stressreaktioner. Datainsamlingen skedde via instrumenten Perceived Stress Scale - 10 (PSS-10), Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), och Karolinska Sleep Questionnaire (KSQ) vid ett universitet i södra Småland. Studien fann ingen signifikant korrelation mellan stress, sömnvanor och fysisk aktivitet.Stress can today be seen as one of the western world’s greatest health concerns, where the risk for developing stress-inducing illness is high. Research have found evidence that physical activity and sleep have a stress reducing effect, however, there are few studies that have combined these two variables to analyse students stress levels. The purpose of this essay is to analyse the correlation between university students sleeping behaviour, levels of physical activity and perceived stress. The study uses two hypothesis; 1. higher levels of physical activity reduces university students stress levels, 2. high quality sleep reduces university students stress levels. The job demand control model by Karasek and Theorell (1990) was used to understand the individuals stress reactions. The data was collected at a university in the south of Sweden using the instruments Perceived Stress Scale - 10 (PSS-10), Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and Karolinska Sleep Questionnaire (KSQ). The study found no significant correlation between the three variables stress, sleep and physical activity.

Syftet med denna studie var att analysera sambandet mellan fysisk aktivitet och betyg i idrott och hälsa, samt mellan ett viktat betyg i matematik, svenska, engelska och idrott och hälsa och fysisk aktivitet. Studien undersöker vidare om det finns något samband mellan socioekonomisk status och fysisk aktivitet och med ett viktat betyg. Studien utfördes på gymnasieelever från två gymnasieskolor i Örebro och Värmlands län. 158 elever (92 flickor, 66 pojkar) deltog i studien. Det internationella aktivitetsformuläret, IPAQ, användes för skattning av fysisk aktivitet. Eleverna fick uppge sitt senaste betyg i svenska, engelska, matematik och idrott och hälsa samt svara på frågor kopplade till socioekonomiska bakgrundsfaktorer. Resultaten visade att det fanns ett måttligt linjärt samband mellan betyg i idrott och hälsa och fysisk aktivitet (r=0.48); och ett svagt linjärt samband mellan det viktade betyget och fysisk aktivitet (r=0.30). Resultatet visade att de starkaste sambanden återfanns för det socioekonomiska indexet (SEI), både för fysisk aktivitet och (p<0.001, r=0.35) respektive för det viktade betyget (p<0.001, r=0.332). Dock fanns tendenser att sambandet blev starkare vid modelleringen att vid en ökad fysisk aktivitet ökade betygen för att därefter minska när den fysiska aktiviteten ökade ännu mer. Ytterligare forskning bör därmed fokusera på huruvida ett för stort fokus på fysisk aktivitet kan hindra skolarbetet.The aim of this study was to analyse the correlation between physical activity and the grade in physical education, but also the correlation with a weighted grade (Mathematics, Swedish, English and Physical Education) and physical activity (metabolic index). The study further investigates whether there is any correlation between socioeconomic status and physical activity and socioeconomic status with a weighted grade. The study was carried out on high school students from two upper secondary schools in Sweden. 158 students (92 girls, 66 boys) participated in the study. The international activity form, IPAQ, was used to estimate physical activity. The students were asked to give their latest grades in swedish, english, mathematics and physical education, and answer questions related to socioeconomic background factors. The results showed that there was a moderately linear relationship between grades in physical education and physical activity (r = 0.48); and a weak linear relationship between the weighted grade and physical activity (r = 0.30). The result showed that the strongest correlations were found for the socioeconomic index (SEI), both for physical activity and (p <0.001, r = 0.35) and for the weighted grade (p <0.001, r = 0.33). However, there were tendencies that the correlation became stronger when modelling that with increased physical activity the grades would increase, in order to subsequently decrease when the physical activity increased even more. Further research should focus on whether too much focus on physical activity can impede school work.

Since the COVID.19 pandemic is a serious crisis in many countries around the world, it is important to conduct empirical research aimed at identifying risks and factors protecting the functioning of people affected by it [1, 2]. For this reason, the goal of this research is to determine the structure of the relationship between physical activity and psychosocial functioning of 226 women and 226 men during the COVID.19 epidemic in Poland by looking at connections between physical activity, mental health disorders and cognitive processes and their significance for the quality of social relations. Methodologically, the research relies on IPAQ Questionnaire [3], GHQ-28 Questionnaires [4], TUS Test — 6/9 version [5] and the original SFS Scale. The structural model indicates that physical activity weakens the relationship between mental health disorders and cognitive processes, and gender is the moderator of these relationships. This suggests that physical activity adapted to the condition of health may be an important component of gender. individualized psycho. preventive interventions.

Full textAbstract:
The coronavirus pandemic is having a dramatic impact on employees around the world, damaging their physical and psychosocial well-being, and triggering disengagement and affecting their resilience. This research aims to test, through a case study, the effects of a corporate wellness programme on engagement and resilience in COVID-19 times. A quantitative methodology has been used through self-administered questionnaires and two instruments; the reduced International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), to measure the level of physical activity, and the Healthy and Resilient Organization (HERO) questionnaire to measure engagement and resilience. The results reveal that a corporate well-being programme, adapted to COVID-19 times, offers a better relationship between physical activity levels and engagement and resilience, compared with other pre-pandemic programmes, proving its efficiency. In a conclusion, this case study may be helpful to convince organizations of the importance of adapting their corporate well-being programmes in pandemic times, to maintain and even improve the engagement and resilience of their workforce.

INTRODUCCIÓN Más del 70% de los pacientes con esquizofrenia son dependientes a la nicotina. (Buckley, 1998). Los pacientes con esquizofrenia tienen un estilo de vida menos saludable en comparación con la población general, ya que presentan tasas más elevadas de consumo de tabaco, tienen una alimentación menos sana y son más sedentarios. (Costa et al., 2019). Esta es el primer estudio que analiza un modelo predictivo del consumo de tabaco en estos pacientes. METODOLOGIA Estudio transversal sobre 590 pacientes (60,1% hombres y 39,7% mujeres) diagnosticados de un trastorno del espectro de la esquizofrenia (edad media 43,19 + 13,58 años). Evaluamos la gravedad de la enfermedad (PANSS y GAF), el estado cognitivo (SCIP y CRASH) y los hábitos de vida (PREDIMED e IPAQ). Medimos el consumo de tabaco en todos los pacientes (nºcig/d). Se realiza una regresión logística por pasos hacia atrás con el consumo de tabaco como variable dependiente, con el resto de variables como independientes. RESULTADOS El consumo cigarrillos medio fue de 9,50+-10,71. El modelo de regresión por pasos hacia atrás fue estadísticamente significativo (F=4,6; p= 0,001). Las variables que contribuyen significativamente al modelo son: PANSS positiva (p=0,011), CRASH (p=0,028) y PREDIMED (p=0,032). CONCLUSIONES Una mayor gravedad de la enfermedad, una menor reserva cognitiva y una menor adherencia a la dieta mediterránea, predicen un mayor consumo de cigarrillos. FEDER, PI17/00246 Buckley, P.

Introdução: A prática regular de atividades físicas constitui importante fator na promoção da saúde e de constituição composição corporal da população. Assim, a preocupação em levantar informações em dimensão populacional de universitários e a composição corporal é notável. Objetivo: Identificar o nível de composição corporal e a auto-percepção de saúde em universitários da Universidade Federal do Amapá – UNIFAP. Método: Participaram do estudo 143 universitários de cinco cursos da área da saúde da Universidade Federal do Amapá, de ambos os sexos, com idade acima de 18 anos. O instrumento utilizado para medida do nível de atividade física foi o Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ), em sua versão curta. Para detecção de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis e percepção de saúde foi realizada uma anamnese. O IMC foi verificado por auto relato da massa corporal e estatura, respectivamente calculado. Resultados: O peso normal prevaleceu entre os avaliados, com destaque para os estudantes de medicina (86,96%). O sobrepeso se sobressaiu entre os estudantes de farmácia (29,41%). Foi constatado percentuais de obesidade em todos os cursos, porém educação física se destaca entre os que apresentam obesidade do tipo I e II (13,79%). A maioria dos estudantes avaliados são ativos, sendo que os acadêmicos de Educação física se destacam com maior percentual (75,85%). Os resultados para percepção de saúde foi satisfatório para maioria dos acadêmicos, exceto para aqueles do curso de medicina em que apresentam predomínio na classificação regular (60,86%). Conclusão: A maioria da amostra está com peso normal, no entanto acadêmicos de Farmácia e Educação Física apresentam sobrepeso e obesidade, os acadêmicos de medicina apresentaram prevalência em regular na classificação da percepção da saúde. Assim, há uma necessidade de incentivar os acadêmicos de uma forma geral a prática de atividade física regular, minimizando os ricos a saúde dessa população.

Full textAbstract:
Inhaled Pharmaceutical Aerosols (IPAs) delivery has great potential in treatment of a variety of respiratory diseases, including asthma, pulmonary diseases, and allergies. Aerosol delivery has many advantages. It delivers medication directly to where it is needed and it is effective in much lower doses than required for oral administration. Currently, there are several types of IPA delivery systems, including pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI), the dry powder inhaler (DPI), and the medical nebulizer. IPAs should be delivered deep into the respiratory system where the drug substance can be absorbed into blood through the capillaries via the alveoli. Researchers have proved that most aerosol particles with aerodynamic diameter of about 1–5 μm, if slowly and deeply inhaled, could be deposited in the peripheral regions that are rich in alveoli [1–3]. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of various inhaling rates with breath-holding pause on the aerosol deposition (Dp = 0.5–5 μm) in a human upper airway model extending from mouth to 3rd generation of trachea. The oral airway model is three dimensional and non-planar configurations. The dimensions of the model are adapted from a human cast. The air flow is assumed to be unsteady, laminar, and incompressible. The investigation is carried out by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) using the software Fluent 6.2. The user-defined function (UDF) is employed to simulate the cyclic inspiratory flows for different IPA inhalation patterns. When an aerosol particle enters the mouth respiratory tract, its particles experience abrupt changes in direction. The secondary flow changes its direction as the airflow passes curvature. Intensity of the secondary flow is strong after first bend at pharynx and becomes weaker after larynx. In flow separation, a particle can be trapped and follow the eddy and deposit on the surface. Particle deposition fraction generally increases as particle size and inhaling airflow velocity increase.

Full textAbstract:
Introdução: Aos professores de Educação Física na escola está reservada a função de contribuir de formação de consciência crítica e pró ativa no que diz respeito a um estilo de vida ativo e hábitos adequados, mantendo a qualidade de vida e o corpo em padrões de zona saudável. A somatotipologia é procedimento de classificação física do corpo humano, relacionando a estrutura corporal com a performance em modalidades esportivas e indicadores de saúde. Sabe-se que o somatotipo sofre influência do meio, podendo ser modificado ao longo da vida, devido as condições no comportamento do indivíduo, fato que torna a relação entre somatotipo, exercício físico e as condições de vida muito próximos. Visto que os professores são importantes nesse contexto, nos perguntamos sobre suas características somatotipológicas e seus níveis de atividade física (NAF). Objetivo: Analisar o somatotipo de professores de educação física atuantes em escolas e o NAF, buscando relacioná-los e traçar o perfil desses professores, permitindo uma visão panorâmica sobre a atuação profissional e as implicações na rotina. Além de ser base para que em estudos futuros seja possível monitorar as variáveis analisadas e verificar possíveis modificações, na forma corporal, sua composição e nos indicadores de saúde. Métodos: O estudo possui caráter descritivo e quali-quantitativo, a amostra do estudo foi composta por 40 professores, atuantes em escolas de nível básico, na cidade de Itabaiana, sendo 26 do sexo feminino (idade 31,4±5,2) e 14 do sexo masculino (idade 33,8±7,0). Para a determinação do somatotipo foram as antropometrias, seguindo o método proposto por Heath e Carter, e para classificar o NAF utilizou-se o questionário IPAQ- versão curta. Resultados: Foram encontrados dados que demonstram, que as mulheres apresentaram predominância para o endomorfismo em 75%, e os homens uma prevalência do mesomorfismo em 60,3% da amostra. Já em relação ao NAF, ambos os sexos demonstraram alto nível de atividade, sendo classificados como muito ativos representando70,7% da amostra total. Conclusão: Os dados sugerem uma relação entre os componentes do somatotipo e o nível de atividade física, demonstrando assim uma relação fenotípica entre a prática de atividades físicas e as proporcionalidades corporais na amostra pesquisada.

Full textAbstract:
Instantaneous pole axes (IPAs) play, in spherical-mechanism kinematics, the same role as instant centers in planar-mechanism kinematics. IPA-based techniques have not been proposed yet for the singularity analysis of spherical mechanisms, even though instant-center-based algorithms have been already presented for planar mechanisms’ singularity analysis. This paper addresses the singularity analysis of single-dof spherical mechanisms by exploiting the properties of pole axes. A general method for implementing this analysis is presented. The presented method relies on the possibility of giving geometric conditions for any type of singularity, and it is the spherical counterpart of an instant-center-based algorithm previously proposed by the author for single-dof planar mechanisms. It can be used to generate systems of equations useful either for finding the singularities of a given mechanism or to synthesize mechanisms that have to match specific requirements about the singularities.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted homeless populations and service workers, especially within homeless shelter/hostel settings. To date, there have been few evidence syntheses examining outbreaks of COVID-19 among both homeless shelters residents and service workers, nor has there been a critically engaged summary of relevant infection control and prevention (IPAC) measures. This scoping review offers a timely and much-needed synthesis of COVID-19 prevalence within homeless shelters and a review of current and pertinent IPAC measures. Methods: We conducted a scoping review in June 2021 that synthesized academic and grey literature published from March 2020 to July 2021 pertaining to 1) the prevalence of COVID-19 among both residents and staff in homeless shelters and hostels in high-income countries, and 2) COVID-19 IPAC strategies applied in these settings. Two reviewers independently screened the results of the literature search of several databases that included MEDLINE, PsycInfo, and the WHO’s COVID-19 Global Health Portal. All the extracted data was mapped, categorized, and thematically discussed. Results: Thematic analysis of included literature revealed five key themes: 1) the demographics of COVID-19 in homeless shelters, 2) asymptomatic spread, 3) pre-existing vulnerability of the homeless and shelters, 4) the limited application of IPAC, and 5) IPAC effectiveness. Conclusion: This review offers a useful glimpse into the landscape of COVID-19 outbreaks in homeless shelters/hostels and the major contributing factors to these events. The scoping review revealed that there is no clear indication of generally accepted IPAC standards for homeless populations and shelter care workers. This review also illustrated a great need for future research to establish IPAC best practices as well as additional resources for shelter systems to protect residents and staff at homeless shelters/hostels in high-income countries. Finally, the findings from this review reaffirm that homelessness prevention is a key to limiting disease outbreaks, and the associated negative health outcomes in shelter populations.

Full textAbstract:
The Global Meeting on Postabortion Care: Advances and Challenges in Operations Research was held at the Population Council’s New York office on January 19–21, 1998, to review progress made by three regional operations research (OR) projects in improving delivery of postabortion care. The resources of the three OR contracts were pooled, and, in collaboration with Ipas and the Ebert Program, approximately 65 researchers, senior program managers, and government officials from Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia were convened. Three objectives guided the planning of the meeting: review progress in the development of OR methodologies pertaining to postabortion care, identify elements in the design of new postabortion care services, and suggest future areas for postabortion care OR. The meeting was organized around the presentation of 20 papers distributed to all participants several weeks earlier. Discussants presented critical syntheses of the papers and indicated directions for future OR studies. This report presents a summary overview of the principal themes and key points drawn from the papers and discussions, organized according to the theme of each session.
