RESUMENCon el obje vo de caracterizar la función visual y patrones motores durante la escritura de los niños de primero de primaria de dos colegios de la ciudad de Barranquilla, Atlán co, se seleccionaron estudiantes sin alteraciones visuales matriculados en dos ins tuciones educa vas, cuyos padres dieron el consen miento informado. A esta población se le hizo la observación de los patrones motores u lizados durante la escritura y se le aplicó el test de Integración Visomotora, VMI. Con base en los resultados de la aplicación del VMI se estableció que el desempeño motor fue adecuado en los niños estudiados. Se hizo la comparación de medias entre la edad cronológica y la edad perceptual con un nivel de confi anza del 95%. Se confi rmó diferencia signifi ca va entre ambas edades (p< 0,05 ). ABSTRACTIn order to characterize visual func on and motor pa erns during the wri ng of fi rst-grade children from two schools in the Barranquilla, Atlan co, we selected children without visual impairments enrolled in two educa onal ins tu ons, whose parents gave informed consent. This popula on was made the observa on of motor pa erns used during the wri ng and applied the test of Visual Motor Integra on, VMI. Based on the results of the implementa on of VMI was established that the motor performance was adequate in the children studied. We compare the means between chronological age and perceptual age with a confi dence level of 95%. Signifi cant diff erence was confi rmed between the two ages (p <0.05).

RESUMENIntroducción: la actividad física es una estrategia emanada desde la OMS, para el control del riesgo cardiovascular relacionado con el sedentarismo especialmente en condiciones que pueden ser vulnerables como es el caso de la discapacidad, especialmente física. Objetivo: determinar el nivel de actividad física de un grupo de personas en condición de discapacidad en Barranquilla, Colombia. Materiales y métodos: estudio descriptivo-observacional de corte transversal se trabajó con población diana (60 individuos) que acudían a un escenario deportivo de Barranquilla. Se utilizó el Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. Se hizo análisis de estadísticas descriptivas con el software Epi Info 7.2.2.6. Resultados: la edad promedio fue 36 años; 85 % eran hombres y 15 %, mujeres; procedentes de estratos 1, 2 y 3, con mayor participantes del estrato 2 (48 %). Con respecto al nivel de actividad física, la mayoría de los individuos se ubicó en nivel vigoroso (38 %), seguido de nivel bajo (35 %) y nivel moderado (27 %). El 65 % de los individuos en situación de discapacidad tenía un nivel de actividad física óptimo que favorece su condición de salud. Conclusiones: la población objeto de estudio se caracterizó por ser de bajos recursos económicos pero además con barreras para la adopción de estilos de vida saludable, a pesar de ello presentan un alto nivel de actividad física, lo que indica que el estrato social y la discapacidad no son impedimentos para la práctica de la actividad física. Palabras clave: persona con discapacidad; actividad física; barreras arquitectónicas (DeCS). ABSTRACTBackground: Physical activity is a strategy issued by the WHO for the control of cardiovascular risk related to sedentary lifestyle, especially in conditions that may be vulnerable, such as disability, especially physical. Objective: determine the level of physical activity of a group of people with disabilities in Barranquilla, Colombia. Materials and methods: A descriptive-observational cross-sectional study was carried out with a target population (60 individuals) who attended a sports scene in Barranquilla. The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire was used. Analysis of descriptive statistics was done with the Epi Info 7.2.2.6 software. Results: the average age was 36 years; 85% were men and 15% were women; from strata 1, 2 and 3, with the largest number of participants in stratum 2 (48%). With regard to the level of physical activity, most individuals were at a vigorous level (38%), followed by a low level (35%) and a moderate level (27%). 65% of the individuals in a situation of disability had an optimal level of physical activity that favors their health condition.

Objective:The objective of this work was to establish whether the time of evolution and lifestyles were associated with adherence to treatment in a group of patients.Design and method:A cross-sectional analytical descriptive study was obtained using simple random sampling, a sample of 272 patients was obtained, of which 63% were female, average age of 55 years and average evolution time 7.5 years. The information was obtained using the treatment adherence questionnaire for cases of arterial hypertension factor II (Varela) modified for diabetics with a Cronbach alpha of 0.86. Data were processed with STATGRAPHIC Centurion 18 software and the R statistic. Hypotheses were tested with Wilcoxon rank test for evolution time and chi square test for lifestyles.Results:With a p-value < 0.05 for evolution time and the dimensions of the lifestyles studied: eating habits, practice of physical activity, it is concluded that adherence to diabetes treatments is associated with the time of evolution and with the practice of healthy lifestyles related to food and practice of physical activity.Conclusions:Adherence to treatments in patients with diabetes is associated with the time of evolution and the practice of good lifestyles. These two factors can be taken as predictors, which is why it must be rigorously monitored by health authorities
