Abstract

In the Philippines, physical inactivity is a significant concern among the elderly population. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most elderly people have stayed inside their residences, limiting to their routine requirements of daily physical activities and prevention in their exposure to the virus. Alcohol consumption and motivation contributes to how elderly population were limited to basic physical activities. This paper aimed to determine the factors affecting less physical inactivity among the ninety-seven Filipino elderly population through multiple regression analysis. Results were gathered through online surveys and showed that alcohol consumption (p-value = 0.015) and motivation (p-value = 0.000) contribute to how elderly population were limited to do basic physical activities. Recommendations include a weekly physical activity guide plan and low-intensity physical activities such as walking and stretching without compromising government restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

2019冠状病毒病大流行期间影响菲律宾老年人口缺乏身体活动问题的生活方式相关因素:多元回归方法

在菲律宾，缺乏身体活动是老年人的一个重大问题。由于COVID-19大流行，大多数老年人一直呆在家中，仅限于日常身体活动和预防接触病毒的日常要求。饮酒和饮酒动机是老年人只能从事基本体育活动的原因之一。本研究旨在透过多元回归分析，探讨菲律宾九十七名老年人缺乏运动的影响因素。通过在线调查收集的结果显示，饮酒(p值= 0.015)和动机(p值= 0.000)是限制老年人进行基本体育活动的原因。建议包括每周身体活动指导计划和低强度身体活动，如散步和伸展，同时不影响政府因COVID-19大流行而实施的限制。
