“…Comparative evidence indicates that in 2009 the prevalence of physical inactivity in the Chilean population was 22.9% in women, and 15.4% in men (Celis-Morales et al, 2016), that same year some member countries of The World Health Organization proposed to reduce physical inactivity by 10% with a view to 2025. In Chile, the prevalence of physical inactivity in 2016 was 26.6% and 24.4% in women and men, respectively, being one of the lowest in Latin America (Celis-Morales et al, 2019). Although between 1990 and 2019 decreases in physical inactivity were also reported that reached up to 26.5% in women, and up to 24.2% in men (Petermann-Rocha et al, 2021), these changes were very small.…”

The objective was to evaluate the trend of physical activity (PA) and cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in a Department of Health in Chile between 2015 and 2019. Records of people ≥15 years of age were analysed to determine the trend of PA, nutritional status, cardiometabolic diseases and lifestyles. The probability that these variables occurred over the years was calculated. A tendency to decrease in PA was found in all cases, in men and women, and an increase in CVRF for all cases and in women; between 2015 and 2019, there was a certain stability in men. Women who consulted for PA in July-September 2019 were more likely to do so compared to men (OR: 2.09, p < .001), women with obesity (OR: 1.81, p < .0001), overweight (OR: 1.91, p < .0001), hypertension (OR: 1.15, p = .01), high blood glucose (OR: 1.36, p < .0001) and smoking (OR: 2.4, p < .0001) were more likely to suffer them compared to men in April-June 2019. It is concluded that the highest and lowest periods in the cases of PA and CVRF could be known, and the probability that these occurred over time could be estimated. PA can be important for the control and treatment of CVRF.

“…Regrettably, according to studies, Latin America ranks among the regions of the world with the highest levels of PI [ 9 ]. Concerning sedentary behaviour (SB), the literature indicates that the average sitting time exceeds 7 h per day in some Latin American countries [ 5 ].…”

“…In countries such as Bolivia, Chile, and Colombia, the levels of physical activity are particularly low, with prevalences of 13.9%, 13.6%, and 15.4%, respectively. Additionally, sedentary behavior is an alarming issue, with 51.8% of adolescents in Colombia reporting spending more than three hours per day sitting outside school hours [4][5][6][7][8].…”

Physical inactivity represents a global challenge in public health, being the second most significant factor contributing to mortality. In Latin America, the prevalence of physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour is notable, affecting medical students as well, who play a crucial role as behavioural role models for the population. This study addresses the prevalence of physical activity and sedentary behaviour among medical students in Latin America during the year 2023. A total of 864 participants from 12 institutions across eight countries were surveyed using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. Significant variations in physical activity and sedentary behaviour were observed according to sex, age, body mass index, academic year, and country. Notably, Costa Rica exhibited the highest levels of moderate physical activity in leisure time (90 min/day). Strength training was more common among men (60 min/day) and in Argentina (60 min/day). Sedentary behaviour was higher in women (420 min/day) and during the first academic year (485 min/day). Uruguay stood out with high levels of sedentary behaviour (600 min/day). Correlations indicated positive moderate associations between academic year and moderate leisure-time PA (r:0,128, p:0,007). In conclusion, there are associations between the level of physical activity and sedentary behaviour with the variables studied in this research, with the main findings being that the female sex has more time spent in sedentary behaviour (minutes/day) and less time spent in strength training (minutes/day). Additionally, there are higher levels of sedentary behaviour in the early years of medical study compared to the later years of the program.

“…Currently, high levels of physical inactivity (sedentary lifestyle) and unhealthy lifestyle habits have been observed within the general population, and are considered the fourth highest mortality factor worldwide. They are also responsible for the worldwide increase in noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) that afflict citizens, highlighting cardiovascular problems (6%), diabetes mellitus type 2 (7%), and breast and colon cancer (10%), with high mortality values, as well as 9% of premature mortality of the 57 million deaths that occurred worldwide in 2008 (Arocha Rodulfo, 2019;Castellanos-vega et al, 2023) In Latin America, research findings show that the highest prevalence of physical inactivity is found in the Caribbean (39.1%), followed by Western (36.8%), and Asian countries with a high economic income (35.7%) (Celis-Morales et al, 2019). Other studies have shown that a sedentary behavior is associated with depressive symptomatology generated by leisure time in front of the screen of electronic devices in adolescents, along with high levels of psychological distress (Hoare et al, 2016).…”

La actividad física se considera de vital importancia para mantener un estado de salud óptimo en los diferentes campos integrales del ser humano. Por lo tanto, el propósito de este estudio es analizar los beneficios en la relación entre la actividad física y el bienestar psicológico en los adultos mayores en áreas rurales. Métodos: se utilizó un muestreo intencional mediante instrumentos de autopercepción puerta a puerta (encuesta) en el hogar de cada uno de los participantes (n = 96), aplicando el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física versión corta (IPAQ-S) y el índice de bienestar psicológico (PGWB-S). Los resultados muestran un efecto positivo entre niveles más altos de actividad física en las dimensiones psicológicas de los encuestados determinadas por un mayor tamaño de efecto (ES: >0.8). Concluimos que los adultos mayores que tienen niveles más altos de actividad física tienden a mejorar los niveles de bienestar psicológico, especialmente en las dimensiones de bienestar positivo y salud general auto-percibida. Palabras claves: adultos mayores, angustia, ansiedad, movilidad corporal, calidad de vida. Abstract. Physical activity is considered of vital importance for maintaining an optimal health status in the different facets of humans. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the benefits of the relationship between physical activity and psychological well-being in the elderly in rural areas. Methods: an intentional sampling method was used by means of face-to-face self-perception instruments (survey) at the home of each of the participants (n = 96), through the application of the international physical activity questionnaire short version (IPAQ-S), and the psychological well-being index (PGWB-S). The results showed a positive effect between higher levels of physical activity in the psychological dimensions of the respondents, determined by a greater effect size (ES: >0.8). We concluded that the elderly who have higher levels of physical activity tend to improve their levels of psychological well-being, especially in the dimensions of positive well-being and self-perceived general health. keywords: the elderly, distress, anxiety, body mobility, quality of life.
