摘要

摘要背景:世界范围内老年人的数量正在增加,体重指数升高是老年人常见的问题,这可能直接或间接受到体育活动水平和性别的影响。因此,研究身体活动和性别对老年人体质指数的影响是非常必要的。材料和方法:对居住在安曼的120名约旦老年人(62名女性;58名男性)进行了一项横断面观察性研究,并对其体重指数进行了评估。这些参与者是40名在过去两年中每周至少去健身房两次的老年人,以及80名在家居住或身体不活动的老年人。结构化问卷用于收集有关个人、社会、健康和生活方式信息的数据,包括研究参与者的日常活动和人体测量。结果:这项研究的结果表明,随着老年人变得不活跃,他们的体重指数会增加,变得超重或肥胖。这项研究的结果还表明,30及以上的体重指数与性别有关,大多数女性老年人(50%)的体重指数为30或以上。结论:为了预防肥胖,男女都应该保持体育活动,尤其是女性,因为她们比男性更容易肥胖。此外,老年人的体重指数不应超过30。为了获得健康的体重,体育活动是必不可少的。

Gender and Physical Activity: Are they Associated with Body Mass Index in Elderly Jordanian People?
Abstract Background: The number of elderly people is increasing worldwide, and elevated body mass index is a common problem that occur with elderly people, which can be directly or indirectly affected by level of physical activity and gender. So, it is essential to study the effect of both physical activity and gender on body mass index in elderly people. Material and methods: A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted on 120 elderly Jordanian people who live in Amman (62 women; 58 men) and evaluated for body mass index. Those participants were 40 elderly persons who attended the gym at least twice a week for the last 2 years, and 80 elderly who were home resident or physically inactive. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data about personal, social, health and life-style information including the daily activities and the anthropometric measurements for the study participants. Results: The results of this study showed that as elderly people become physically inactive, their body mass index will increase to become as overweight or obese. The results of this study also showed that body mass index of 30 and more was associated with gender, with majority of female elderly (50%) having body mass index of 30 or more. Conclusion: Physical activity should be maintained by both genders in order to prevent obesity, primarily in women as they are more likely to become obese that men. Furthermore, body mass index should not exceed 30 in elderly. Physical activity is essential in order to obtain healthy weight.
