Resumen
[ES] El objetivo de este estudio fue estudiar los niveles de ansiedad y depresión y la autopercepción del estado de salud en mujeres postmenopáusicas y sus posibles asociaciones con el nivel de actividad física semanal. Se realizó un estudio transversal, en el que participaron 110 mujeres postmenopáusicas (72.35 ± 6.65 años). Se emplearon la escala de ansiedad y depresión hospitalaria (ansiedad y depresión), el cuestionario abreviado de salud de 36-ítems (autopercepción del estado de salud) y el cuestionario internacional de actividad física (nivel de actividad física). Como variables de confusión se tomaron la edad, los años tras la última regla y el índice de masa corporal (IMC). En los resultados observamos que, en mujeres postmenopáusicas, una mayor edad y un menor nivel de actividad física semanal, se asociaron de manera independiente con una peor percepción del estado de salud. Además, vimos que tanto un mayor IMC y un menor nivel de actividad física semanal se asociaron de manera independiente con una mayor depresión.
No se contemplaron asociaciones con la ansiedad. Podemos concluir que, un mejor o mayor nivel de
actividad física semanal se asocia con una menor carga de los síntomas de depresión y una mejor
autopercepción del estado de salud, en mujeres postmenopáusicas.
[EN] The objective of this study was to study the levels of anxiety and depression and their self-perception of the state of health in postmenopausal women and their possible associations with the level of weekly physical activity. A cross-sectional study was conducted, in 110 postmenopausal women (72.35 ± 6.65 years). The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (anxiety and depression), self-perceived health status (36-item short-form health survey), and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (physical activity level) were employed. Age, years in the menopausal status and body mass index (BMI) were considered as confounders. In the results, we observed that, in postmenopausal women, an older age and a lower level of weekly physical activity were independently associated with a worse perception of health status. Furthermore, we found that both a higher BMI and a lower level of weekly physical activity were independently associated with greater depression. There were no associations with anxiety. We can conclude that a better or higher level of weekly physical activity is associated with a lower burden of depression symptoms and a better self-perception of health status in postmenopausal women.
