Abstract
En los países desarrollados se está experimentando un continuo proceso de envejecimiento de la población. Especialmente en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, debido tanto a la baja tasa de fecundidad como al descenso de la mortalidad por los avances de la medicina y la salud pública. Los procesos degenerativos y enfermedades crónicas, procesos más prevalentes entre los ancianos, son en la actualidad los principales desafíos para los sistemas sanitarios. Frente a este tipo de dolencias tienen un papel especialmente relevante la prevención y la promoción de la salud. Los Estilos de vida son el principal determinante de salud de la población, por encima del propio sistema de asistencia sanitario, y están asociados a la mayor parte de los factores de riesgo conocidos de muerte prematura. La inactividad y el sedentarismo constituyen uno de los estilos de vida de mayor relevancia por su prevalencia, su demostrada relación con los factores de riesgo anteriormente citados, así como por ser susceptible de modificación. Por lo tanto la promoción de actividad física constituiría una estrategia prioritaria de salud, especialmente en mayores de 65 años que es el grupo de población que concentra el mayor número de enfermedades crónicas y degenerativas...
In developed countries there is a continuous process of population aging. Especially in the second half of the twentieth century, due both to the low fertility rate and the declining mortality by advances in medicine and public health. Chronic processes and degenerative diseases, most prevalent processes among the elderly, are now the main challenges for healthcare systems. Faced with such cases have an especially relevant prevention and health promotion role. Lifestyles are the main determinant of population health, even more than health care system, and are associated with most of the known risk factors for premature death. Inactivity and sedentary lifestyles are one of the lifestyles of greater importance because of its prevalence, its proven relationship with the risk factors mentioned above, as well as being subject to change. Therefore the promotion of physical activity constitute a priority health strategy, especially in people over 65 years is the population group that has the largest number of chronic and degenerative diseases. There is a clear relationship between physical activity, health and quality of life. Numerous studies support the benefits of regular physical exercise to modulate the excess weight, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, shortfalls of physical mobility, some psychiatric diseases, improve welfare and reduce overall mortality...
