A cultura e os hábitos familiares da prática de atividades físicas e as tendências à obesidade
Resumo:
This research seeks, in an exploratory way, to evaluate the following question: are there relations between cultural aspects and family habits related to physical activities and tendencies to obesity in adulthood? The objective is to relate the habits and frequency of physical activities and the tendencies to obtain high levels of obesity in the current phase of the individual, assessed from the BMI (Body Mass Index). Specifically, it seeks to assess whether cultural aspects of families and habits over the life of the individual remain over time. Also, if this relationship between habits and other socioeconomic aspects influences the current condition, from the reference indicator. The research was carried out in 2019 and 2020 in the western region of Parana and uses a non-probabilistic sample, based on primary data. The data were processed with the SPSS software and descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the results. The main methodology, however, was the use of data crossing (crosstabs), evaluating the proposed relationships. The results show relationships between culture and habits throughout the individual’s life with their obesity situation based on the BMI estimate. Notably, the frequency of physical activities since childhood and their stay in adulthood, provide conditions for better health conditions, based on the established indicator. Relationships involving family income were not relevant in the process related to habits and culture related to exercises. The answers show that the frequency of activities also provides the perception of physical and mental well-being. From these results, it is proposed that the theme be in evidence in elementary education.
Keywords: culture, family habits, physical activities.
