Physical activity level and quality of life in older women during the pandemic
The aim of the study was to identify the level of physical activity and quality of life in elderly women during the pandemic. A total of 2,269 women took part (X= 66.46 ± 5.73 years). A sociodemographic questionnaire, the WHOQOL-Old for quality of life and the Baecke questionnaire for level of physical activity were used. The study population was 57.14% mulatto; 35.71% single; 40% literate; 50% retired; 60% with a monthly income ≤ 2 salaries (≤ US$200.00). 77.14% reported having some pre-established illness or continuous use of medication, and 86% had a sick parent. The results show that 90% of the participants had a low physical activity index (PAI) (X= 4.44 ± 3.79; PAI ≤ 9.11) and 61.4% had an average overall quality of life (OHQoL) (X= 13.56 ± 1.75; OHQoL between 10 - 14). It was concluded that the pandemic has a negative effect on the physical activity of elderly women, causing a decline in quality of life.
