- Abstract
It is highly relevant to understand the relationship between physical activity and sedentary behavior with elderly people's life satisfaction. Physical activity and life satisfaction between elderly people in institutions and elderly ones in day care centers are compared. Current transversal study was undertaken with 31 elderly people of both genders between February and June 2017. Nineteen elderly people were in institutions and 11 were kept in day care centers, in Maringá PR Brazil. A sociodemographic questionnaire, Life Satisfaction Scale and abridged International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) were employed. Data analyses employed Shapiro-Wilk test, Chi-square test, Fisher's Exact test, Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman's correlation coefficient, at p < 0.05. Elderly people from day centers walk more days per week (p = 0.001), practice more days of the week in moderate activities (p = 0.039) and more minutes per day (p = 0.039), week (p = 0.032) in these activities. Sitting periods during the week provided significant co-relationship (p < 0.05) and negative co-relationship as minutes walking per day, minutes walking per week and life satisfaction. Sitting time during the weekend had a significant co-relationship (p < 0.05) and negative co-relationship only with walking minutes per day. Institutionalized elderly people are less active physically in spite of the fact that they spend less time sitting during the weekend. Sedentary behavior of the elderly is a factor that may be related to a decrease in light physical activities and life satisfaction.
