Hacia la construcción de pactos para la autonomía económica de las mujeres: la experiencia de Costa Rica, El Salvador, Panamá y el Perú

El presente estudio proporciona un análisis de los procesos desarrollados en Costa Rica, El Salvador, Panamá y el Perú entre 2013 y 2014 para establecer diálogos y construir acuerdos en torno a la autonomía económica de las mujeres, y ofrece una reflexión sobre algunos elementos comunes entre las cuatro experiencias. El análisis busca identificar, de manera preliminar, las condiciones necesarias para el establecimiento e implementación de acuerdos y pactos que pueden tener resultados concretos para alcanzar la autonomía de las mujeres, así como para garantizar sus derechos en la esfera económica.

Indicadores Antropométricos do Estado Nutricional de Idosas Praticantes e Não Praticantes de Exercício Fisíco na Zona Norte de São José do Rio Preto-SP

Although the regular practice of physical exercise for the maintenance of the nutritional state and quality of life is important, it is not a common habit among the elderly, especially those of the lower income social bracket. The objective was to characterize and compare according to social-economic conditions and anthropometric indexes of the nutritional state of the elderly who regularly practice and those who do not practice exercises, offered at no cost, in the Northern zone of São José do Rio Preto-SP. In this study, 110 elderly women participated, of which 60 (group P) exercised regularly and 50 did not (group NP). Group P participated in a special gym program, free of charge, for at least 2 years, 2 to 3 times a week, one hour a day. Group NP was recruited from the same location as Group P. The comparison between the groups of elderly women was proportionately distributed according to marital status, level of education, means of locomotion, results of body mass index (IMC), waist to hip ratio (RCQ) and calf circumference, using the chi-square test. Comparisons were also made of average age, per capita family income, individual income, IMC, arm and triceps skin fold measured by t-Test. Differences were not found in all the comparisons made. The variables that stood out were the IMC (overweight) and RCQ (risk of chronic diseases) results, which were above what was expected, and the high frequency of walking and riding buses for both groups of elderly women (about 60%). We came to the conclusion that the low-intensity exercise program evaluated made no difference in the nutritional profile of the elderly who also used walking as a means of getting around.
