Effectiveness of Physical Exercise of Patients With Chronic Non-communicable Disease (NCT06476015)
Effectiveness of Physical Exercise on Frailty, Body Composition and Functional Classification of Patients With Chronic Non-communicable Disease
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
According to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), chronic, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the main cause of death and disability in the world. The term, NCD refers to a group of diseases that are not primarily caused by acute infection and result in long-lasting health consequences, with significant long-term care and treatment needs. These include chronic lung diseases such as COPD and metabolic diseases such as Diabetes. Worldwide, chronic non-communicable diseases are related to physical inactivity as the main risk factor. In this sense, exercise and physical activity have become priority elements of public health, with recommendations that they be carried out with moderate intensity at least 150 minutes a week. In Colombia, exercise as an important strategy for the prevention and management of chronic non-communicable diseases, which is described in the ten-year public health plan. However, in its application in clinical practice, the evidence shows that there are few structured programs at the national or regional level, which monitor the adequate prescription of exercise as a therapeutic strategy for the control of NCDs and improvement. of functionality. Reason for which this research arises, which aims to describe the effectiveness of exercise on the frailty, body composition and functional classification of 300 patients with chronic non-communicable disease.
