Introduction Dizziness is a symptom that can lead to falls, which, in turn, undermine onés independence and autonomy, leading to several comorbidities. The practice of physical exercise, however, can help prevent falls. Objective The objective of this study is to confirm the association between physical exercise, dizziness, probability of falling, and depressive symptoms in a group of middle-aged adults and seniors. Methods The authors evaluated subjects based on history, the Geriatric Depression Scale, and functional reach test. Results The sample consisted of 90 individuals with a mean age of 69.3 ± 6.8 years. The authors found that 37.8% had been practicing exercise, 33.7% had depressive symptoms, and their probability of falling was above average in the functional reach test. Conclusion The results of this study indicated an association between dizziness, exercise practice and depressive symptoms, indicating that physical activity is a beneficial factor for the aging population.
引言 头晕是一种可能导致跌倒的症状，而跌倒反过来又会损害个人的独立性和自主性，引发多种合并症。然而，体育锻炼有助于预防跌倒。目的 本研究的目的是证实一组中年人和老年人的体育锻炼、头晕、跌倒概率和抑郁症状之间的关联。方法 作者根据病史、老年抑郁量表和功能性伸展测试对受试者进行评估。结果 样本包括90名个体，平均年龄为69.3±6.8岁。作者发现，37.8%的人一直在进行锻炼，33.7%的人有抑郁症状，并且他们在功能性伸展测试中的跌倒概率高于平均水平。结论 本研究结果表明头晕、锻炼和抑郁症状之间存在关联，表明体育活动对老年人群是一个有益因素。
