Atividade física em gestantes assistidas na atenção primária à saúde

OBJETIVO Analisar o padrão de atividade física de gestantes de baixo risco e os fatores associados. MÉTODOS Estudo transversal com 256 gestantes adultas no segundo trimestre gestacional, sorteadas dentre as assistidas pelas unidades de atenção primária à saúde do município de Botucatu, SP, em 2010. As atividades físicas foram investigadas por meio do “pregnancy physical activity questionnaire”, verificando-se tempo e intensidade de atividades ocupacionais, de deslocamento, domésticas e de lazer, expressos em equivalentes metabólicos dia. As gestantes foram classificadas segundo nível de atividade e em relação a atingir 150 min/semana de atividades físicas de lazer, variáveis dependentes do estudo. A associação entre essas variáveis e as socioeconômicas, características maternas, fatores comportamentais e modelo de atenção da unidade de saúde foi avaliada mediante modelos de regressão de Poisson com variância robusta, adotando-se modelo hierárquico. RESULTADOS A maior parte das gestantes era insuficientemente ativa (77,7%), 12,5% moderadamente ativa e 9,8% vigorosamente ativa. Os maiores gastos diários de energia foram com atividades domésticas, seguidas pelas atividades de locomoção; 10,2% atingiram a recomendação de 150 min semanais de atividades físicas de lazer. Trabalho fora de casa reduziu a chance de atingir essa recomendação (RP = 0,39, IC95% 0,16;0,93). Ter tido pelo menos um parto anterior (RP = 0,87, IC95% 0,77;0,99) e excesso ponderal pré-gestacional (RP = 0,85, IC95% 0,731;0,99) reduziram a chance de ser insuficientemente ativa, enquanto consumir menos alimentos saudáveis teve aumento discreto (RP = 1,18, IC95% 1,02;1,36). CONCLUSÕES Gestantes assistidas na atenção primária à saúde são insuficientemente ativas. Ter tido pelo menos um parto e apresentar sobrepeso pré-gestacional foram identificados como fatores protetores contra tal situação, enquanto consumo menos frequente de alimentos saudáveis foi fator de risco, sugerindo aglomeração de fatores de risco à saúde.

Effect of Statins and Aerobic Physical Exercise on Liver Function in Dyslipidemic Rats - Morphometric Study

The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of statins associated with physical exercise (PE) in liver cells in dyslipidemic rats through cariometry. The animals were divided into six groups: animals subjected to a hypercholesterolemic diet (HD), simvastatin, with (G1) and without (G2) physical exercise (PE); HD submitted (G3) or not (G4) to PE, and commercial food diet (F) with (G5) and without (G6) PE. Histological analysis of the liver was performed by staining the slides with hematoxylin and eosin. The cariometric study included measuring the major and minor diameters of the hepatocytes nuclei. The Shapiro-Wilk test was also performed. To determine the differences among the groups, the Kruskal-Wallis Test with Dunn's post-test were conducted. The significance level was set at 5%. No difference was found in the hepatocytes nuclei between G5 and G6. When these groups were related with G3 and G4, reduced nuclei were observed. There was no difference between G1 and G6. The comparison between G6 and G2 showed that the nuclei in G2 were smaller. No difference was detected between G5 and G1. Changes were observed in the nuclei shape in G2 in comparison to G1. Considering G2 and G3, a decrease in the size of nuclei was observed in G3. On the other hand, G2 showed changes in shape in the comparative analysis with G4. The size and shape of G1 nuclei were larger than G3 as well as changes in shape were observed when compared to G4. G4 showed smaller nuclei than G3. Therefore, F, associated or not with the practice of PE, does not alter the size and shape of the hepatocytes nuclei; HD combined with sedentarism influences changes in the morphometric parameters of hepatocytes; and the association of simvastatin and PE seems to protect the hepatocytes nuclei with regard to HD.

Importance of physical therapy in the family health strategy: integrative review

Objective: to analyze the importance of physical therapy in the Family Health Strategy (FHS). Methodology: integrative literature review, guided by the research question << What is the importance of physical therapy in the FHS? >>. The survey was conducted in the Virtual Health Library and in the website Google Scholar in November and December 2012. The inclusion criteria were: fully available scientific study, published between 2007 and 2012, with free access, and having at least one of the DeCS selected in the title. Results: we found out that the importance of physical therapist’s action at the FHS has been recognized both by professionals included in the teams and users of health care units, showing that, by means of the physical therapist’s preventive and clinical action, the costs and demands in the tertiary care can be reduced. Conclusion: the population and the professionals recognize the physical therapist’s positive impact on the FHS.
