Despite knowing that the practice of physical activity can positively influence the health of older people, there are variables such as the risk of dependency and the level of self-esteem that can mediate people´s quality of life. The objective of this study was to know the relationship between the risk of dependence and level of self-esteem in older people.
515 seniors between 60 and 90 years old were interviewed. A single measurement was made, using different scales and validated questionnaires (Rosenberg personal self-esteem scale, Barber test and Modified Baecke PAQ questionnaire). Statistical analyzes (with the SPSS v. 23.0 program) descriptive, ANOVA, linear regression analysis and correlations were performed.
89.1% had dependency risk, 32.6% were physically active and 43.3% had low self-esteem. The level of physical activity practice showed significant differences (p<0.001) favorable to active people, who had a lower risk of dependence, better self-esteem and lower consumption of medications than sedentary ones.
The practice of physical activity helps reduce drug consumption, which improves the self-esteem of the elderly and decreases the risk of dependence.
尽管知道体育活动对老年人的健康有积极影响，但诸如依赖风险和自尊水平等变量会影响人们的生活质量。本研究的目的是了解老年人的依赖风险与自尊水平之间的关系。
对515名60至90岁的老年人进行了访谈。使用不同的量表和经过验证的问卷（罗森伯格个人自尊量表、巴伯测试和改良的贝克体力活动问卷）进行了单次测量。进行了描述性统计分析、方差分析、线性回归分析和相关性分析（使用SPSS v. 23.0程序）。
89.1%的人有依赖风险，32.6%的人进行体育活动，43.3%的人自尊水平较低。体育活动水平显示出显著差异（p<0.001），有利于进行体育活动的人，他们比久坐不动的人有更低的依赖风险、更好的自尊和更低的药物消费量。
体育活动有助于减少药物消费，从而提高老年人的自尊并降低依赖风险。
