Insomnia Symptoms, Daytime Naps And Physical Leisure Activities In The Elderly: FIBRA Study Campinas


A prática de atividades físicas contribui para redução do risco de doenças crônicas e melhora do padrão de sono em idosos. Esta pesquisa buscou verificar a associação entre sintomas de insônia e cochilo diurno e a participação em atividades físicas de lazer em idosos residentes na comunidade. Utilizaram-se dados extraídos da Rede de Estudos da Fragilidade em Idosos Brasileiros, polo Campinas. Foram analisados dados de 689 idosos quanto à caracterização sociodemográfica, prática de atividades físicas de lazer, ocorrência de cochilo diurno e sua duração, sintomas de insônia e uso de medicação para dormir. Encontrou-se associação significativa entre a prática de caminhada e o cochilo diurno de curta duração. Estudos indicam que o cochilo de curta duração pode trazer benefícios à qualidade do sono e à saúde dos idosos. Portanto, promover a prática de caminhada pode constituir-se em uma intervenção de enfermagem que favorece o padrão de sono das pessoas idosas.La actividad física contribuye a reducir el riesgo de enfermedades crónicas y mejorar la calidad del sueño en adultos mayores. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar la asociación entre los síntomas de insomnio, la siesta y la participación en actividades físicas recreativas de adultos mayores insertos en la comunidad. Se utilizaron los datos de la Red de Estudios de Fragilidad en adultos mayores brasileños, de la ciudad de Campinas, Brasil. Se analizaron los datos de 689 adultos mayores con respecto a las características sociodemográficas, práctica de actividades físicas recreativas, siestas y su duración, los síntomas de insomnio y el uso de medicamentos para dormir. Se encontró una asociación significativa entre la práctica de caminata y la siesta de corta duración, la cual puede ser beneficiosa para la calidad del sueño y la salud de los adultos mayores. Por consiguiente, promover la práctica de caminar puede consistir en una intervención de enfermería que favorezca el patrón de sueño de las personas mayores.The practice of physical activities contributes to reducing the risk of chronic diseases and improves sleep patterns in the elderly. This research aimed to investigate the association between insomnia symptoms and daytime nap and the participation in physical leisure activities in elderly community residents. Data from the Studies Network of the Fragility in Brazilian Elderly (Campinas site), were used. Information from 689 elderly was analyzed, regarding sociodemographic characterization, physical leisure activity, occurrence of daytime napping and its duration, symptoms of insomnia and use of sleep medication. A significant association was found between the practice of walking and the daytime nap of short duration. Studies indicate that a short nap can benefit the quality of sleep and health of the elderly. Therefore, promoting the practice of walking can be a nursing intervention that favors the sleep patterns of the elderly.

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
