This study aimed to verify the existence of an association between degree of physical activity and presence of metabolic syndrome in the Khisêdjê indigenous group. The authors evaluated 170 individuals 20 years or older, based on demographic data, physical examination, and laboratory tests. The data were analyzed with the chi-square test (p < 0.05), crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (point and 95% confidence intervals), and Student's t-test. Satisfactory results were observed in relation to cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility, bending of arms and trunk, and measurement of physical activity according to the number of steps/day. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 27.8% and was higher in women, the 39-49-year and ≥ 50-year age groups, and in individuals with lower performance on the cardiorespiratory endurance test, horizontal impulse, and number of steps/day. The results indicate the need for greater surveillance in the control and prevention of risk factors for metabolic syndrome.
本研究旨在验证基塞杰（Khisêdjê）原住民群体中身体活动程度与代谢综合征存在之间的关联。作者基于人口统计学数据、体格检查和实验室检测，对170名20岁及以上个体进行了评估。数据采用卡方检验（p<0.05）、粗患病率和调整患病率（点估计值和95%置信区间）以及学生t检验进行分析。在心肺耐力、柔韧性、手臂和躯干弯曲以及根据每日步数测量身体活动方面观察到了令人满意的结果。代谢综合征的患病率为27.8%，在女性、39 - 49岁和≥50岁年龄组以及心肺耐力测试、水平冲动和每日步数表现较低的个体中更高。结果表明在代谢综合征危险因素的控制和预防方面需要加强监测。
