ABSTRACT
Objective: to determine the type of physical activity and its relationship with the nutritional status of workers over 50 years of the Latin American School of Medicine.Materials and Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out during the months of September to December of the year 2017. The universe was made up of 207 workers of the teaching area of the Latin American School of Medicine with a sample of 29 workers older than 50 years, selected by simple random sampling.
Results: the group of 55 to 60 years was the most numerous, the average value of the BMI was 28 Kg / m2 and that of the abdominal circumference (CA) of 96.2 cm, values that translate a substantially increased risk, type of physical activity the studied workers used 1 day per week for intense activity, of this group only 17.2% performed intense activity, for moderate and light activity 1.3 and 4.4 days, respectively. The obese workers did not perform intense physical activity and the average remained seated 7 hours a day.
Conclusions: the studied workers used a time less than what was recommended for physical activity and it was determined that there is a relationship between nutritional status and physical activity, those classified as obese do not practice intense physical activity and the average dedicates only 1 day for the activity moderate.
