O impacto da saúde do pé na calidade de vida en persoas sedentárias

Abstract

A sedentary lifestyle has serious consequences for public health. One of the most visible consequences is the large increase in the prevalence of obesity in Europe in recent years. It is not only a cosmetic issue but also because it is associated with several health risk factors. (1) Although there is an interaction between diet and physical activity in health, particularly in relation to obesity, there are additional benefits that can be obtained With exercise that are independent of nutrition and diet. (2) Although it seems obvious that there is a dependency on the feet to perform most types of physical activity, it is rare to value its importance for physical exercise. One study in one region of Australia concluded that one in five people reported pain in their feet and that this had a significant negative impact on quality of life. (3) In another study in Canada, it was concluded that for many older people, foot health is the limiting factor for health and mobility. (4) In the mentioned studies, tools were used to assess foot health (5) and the level of physical activity of an individual. (6)

Un estilo de vida sedentario tiene graves consecuencias para la salud pública. Una de las consecuencias más visibles es el gran aumento de la prevalencia de la obesidad en Europa en los últimos años. No es sólo una cuestión estética, sino porque se asocia con varios factores de riesgo para la salud. (1) Aunque hay una interacción entre la dieta y la actividad física sobre la salud, en particular en relación con la obesidad, hay beneficios adicionales que se pueden obtener con el ejercicio que son independientes de la nutrición y la dieta. (2) Aunque parece obvio que hay una dependencia de los pies para llevar a cabo la mayoría de los tipos de actividad física, es raro valor a su importancia para el ejercicio. En un estudio realizado en una región de Australia, se concluyó que una de cada cinco personas informaron dolor en el pie y que esto tuvo un impacto negativo significativo en la calidad de vida. (3) En otro estudio, Canadá, se encontró que para muchos ancianos, el factor que limita la salud es la movilidad y la salud de los pies (4). En estos estudios, se utilizaron herramientas para evaluar la salud del pie (5) y el nivel de actividad física de un individuo. (6)
