ABSTRACT

Introduction: Individual nutritional status is influenced by different factors. Objective: To determine the nutritional status and its relationship with some sociodemographic characteristics of active older adults in the city of Chillán in Chile. Methods: Quantitative and cross-sectional study of 118 older adults. Sociodemographic data were collected through a specifically designed questionnaire. The nutritional status was evaluated by anthropometric and body mass indexes. Physical activity was evaluated according to the criteria proposed by the PAHO - WHO whereas socioeconomic level was defined by per capita income quintiles for the Chilean population. Data were analyzed with univariate, bivariate, and multivariate summary statistics. The Chi-square test and correspondence multiple analysis in STATA 12.0 were used. Results: The normal nutritional status was predominant in over 50 % of the older adults and was associated with being a professional, having higher education, and belonging to income quintile V. Obesity was related to being male, having a partner, and doing intensive physical activity. Women were not associated with any of the nutritional status categories, but rather with light or sedentary physical activity levels in addition to be included in income quintile IV, and not having a partner. Overweight was related to a high school education and income quintile III whereas people with an elementary school education related to the quintile II and being not professionals (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The high quality of life given by a high level of education and financial capacity allows acquiring greater knowledge to select and to purchase healthy food, which is seen in the predominant normal nutritional status of this group.
