Ítem Analysis of quality of life parameters in a health-promoting program for a population with cardiovascular risk factors: a preliminary study(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2020) Río de Frutos, Xabier; González-Pérez, Alexander; Larrinaga Undabarrena, Arkaitz; Coca Núñez, AitorOne of the main risk factors of premature death in non-communicable diseases is physical inactivity, being as significant ashypertension, diabetes mellitus, and even smoking. It has been observed that interventions for carrying out physical activity (PA)in a communal environment have been very effective in terms of participation and adherence. The aimof this study is to prove thechanges that occur on a physical level in a group of 46 patients on a regulated promotion plan for PA for health. The studyconsisted of a total of 15 weeks, during which a series of measurements were taken on the patients prior and post carrying out theprogram. There were significant changes in the undertaking of body mass index (p = 0.006), systolic and diastolic arterialpressure (p = 0.03 and p = 0.01, respectively), changes in attitude [degree of PA (METs, p ≤= 0.001)], changes in perceivedquality of life (EuroQoL-VAS, p ≤= 0.001), as well as in the total number of risk factors (RFT, p = 0.03). These data confirm thata regulated program of PA is effective improving cardiovascular risk factors; improving all parameters of functional fitnessstudied; increasing the degree of PA; and increasing the subjective perception of patients’ health. Furthermore, it is verified thatcarrying out these types of programs is awarded a high degree of satisfaction by the participants.Ítem Differences in Functional Capacity between Oncologic and Non-Oncologic Populations: Reference Values(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-01-25) Mojas Ereño, Egoitz; Santisteban Leguina, Aitor; Muñoz Pérez, Iker; Larrinaga Undabarrena, Arkaitz; Arietaleanizbeaskoa, María Soledad; Mendizabal Gallastegui, Nere; Grandes, Gonzalo; Cacicedo, Jon; Río de Frutos, XabierThis study is focused on the fact that in the context of increasing global aging and cancer diagnoses, additional challenges arise in clinical care. Adequate functionality and body composition are key to coping with antineoplastic treatment, which can lead to better treatment tolerance, survival, and quality of life. This is a cross-sectional comparative study focused on the assessment and comparison of body composition and functionality between cancer patients and a reference population, with the aim of establishing meaningful baseline values. Techniques such as manual dynamometry, the Five-Times Sit-to-Stand test, and bioimpedance were used to collect data from 374 oncologic patients and 1244 reference individuals. The results reveal significant disparities in functionality and body composition among participants, and provide age group-specific adjusted baseline values for those diagnosed with cancer. These findings may have crucial clinical implications for applying particular cut-off points designed for this population group, which makes the assessment process faster and more accurate, enhances the capacity of medical personnel to act quickly, and improves the management of frailty in cancer patients.Ítem Effects of socioeconomic environment on physical activity levels and sleep quality in Basque schoolchildren(MDPI, 2023-03) Larrinaga Undabarrena, Arkaitz; Río de Frutos, Xabier; Sáez Gómez de Cadiñanos, Iker; Martínez de Aguirre Betolaza, Aitor; Albisua, Neritzel; Martínez de Lahidalga Aguirre, Gorka; Sánchez Isla, José Ramón; Urbano, Mikel; Guerra-Balic, Myriam; Fernández, Juan Ramón; Coca Núñez, AitorThe socioeconomic and built environment of an area are interrelated with health data and have a direct influence on children’s development. There are facilitators and barriers for schools to promote physical activity depending on the socioeconomic status of the school. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between physical activity and sleep and the socioeconomic level of children in the Basque Country. The sample consisted of 1139 schoolchildren between the ages of six and seventeen (566 boys and 573 girls) from 75 schools (43 public and 32 private). Differences between groups were compared using the Mann–Whitney U test (two samples), Kruskal–Wallis one-factor ANOVA (k samples), and Spearman’s Rho correlation. There are sex differences in light (200.8 ± 62.5 vs. 215.9 ± 54.7) and moderate (69.0 ± 34.3 vs. 79.9 ± 32.1) physical activity in favour of the female group of higher socioeconomic status compared to male group of higher socioeconomic status. In the case of vigorous physical activity, the female group performed less than the male group across all socioeconomic statuses, which was statistically significant in the groups of high socioeconomic status (11.6 ± 9.3 vs. 6.9 ± 5.7) in group 2 and medium socioeconomic status (11.1 ± 9.3 vs. 7.7 ± 6.1) in group 3. There is an inverse relationship between sedentary behaviour and BMI, total bed time, total sleep time, and night-time awakenings. There is also an inverse relationship between all levels of physical activity performed with respect to BMI and total sleep efficiency. These data point towards notable inequalities in physical activity and daily sleep in Basque schoolchildren, which in turn may be marginalised in our current school system due to the effects of the socioeconomic environment.Ítem Level of physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep in the child and adolescent population in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country (6-17 years old): protocol for the Mugikertu Study(JMIR Publications Inc., 2022-03) Larrinaga Undabarrena, Arkaitz; Albisua, Neritzel; Río de Frutos, Xabier; Angulo Garay, Garazi; González Santamaría, Xabier; Etxeberria Atxa, Iker; Martínez de Lahidalga Aguirre, Gorka; Ruiz de Azua Larrinaga, Malen; Martínez de Aguirre Betolaza, Aitor; Gorostegi-Anduaga, Ilargi; Maldonado-Martín, Sara; Aldaz Arregui, Juan; Guerra-Balic, Myriam; Bringas, Mikel; Sánchez Isla, José Ramón; Coca Núñez, AitorBackground: Physical inactivity and sedentary behavior are increasingly common problems in the general population, which can lead to overweight, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and decreased motor and cognitive capacity among children and adolescents. Establishing healthy habits in childhood on the basis of the World Health Organization's 2020 Physical Activity Guidelines is essential for proper physical, motor, and cognitive development. Objective: The primary aim of this study is to describe the level of physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior, and sleep of the child and adolescent population from 6 to 17 years of age in the Basque Autonomous Community (BAC). Our secondary aim is to establish a starting point for future research and intervention protocols to improve the existing reality. Methods: This cross-sectional study aims to recruit 1111 children and adolescents, aged 6 to 17 years from the BAC in a representative random sample. Participants will wear the ActiGraph WGT3X-BT triaxial accelerometer for 7 consecutive days in their nondominant wrist, and fill out a habit diary log of PA, mobility, and sleep routine. PA intensities, sedentary behavior, and sleep parameters (total bedtime, total sleep time, and sleep efficiency) will be calculated from raw accelerometer data using SPSS (IBM Corp). Participants will be randomly selected. Results: The results of this study intend to demonstrate significant differences in PA levels in different age and gender groups since the volume of school PA in the BAC decreases as the age of the schoolchildren increases. The total study sample includes 1111 participants. In April 2021, up to 50% of the sample size was reached, which is expected to increase to 100% by April 2022. This sample will allow us to analyze, discuss, compare, and assess the reality of the school population, in a sensitive period of adherence to behavior patterns, using data from the geographical and administrative area of the BAC. This study will provide a realistic insight into PA levels among children and adolescents in the BAC. It will also offer scientific contributions on the positive relationship between PA levels and sleep quality in this population. Conclusions: This study might highlight the need for the promotion of cross-sectional policies so that children and adolescents may increase their levels of PA, thus improving both the school environment and positive healthy behavior.Ítem Physical activity levels and sleep in schoolchildren (6–17) with and without school sport(MDPI, 2023-01) Larrinaga Undabarrena, Arkaitz; Río de Frutos, Xabier; Sáez Gómez de Cadiñanos, Iker; Angulo Garay, Garazi; Martínez de Aguirre Betolaza, Aitor; Albisua, Neritzel; Martínez de Lahidalga Aguirre, Gorka; Sánchez Isla, José Ramón; García Corada, Natalia; Urbano, Mikel; Guerra-Balic, Myriam; Fernández, Juan Ramón; Coca Núñez, AitorThere is strong evidence to support the association between daily physical activity and sleep parameters in children and adolescents. Physical activity and outdoor play are favourably associated with most sleep outcomes in school children. The aim is to find out the levels of physical activity and the quality of sleep in Basque schoolchildren aged between six and seventeen and to analyse the possible differences between those who carry out some kind of physical sports activity and those who do not. The sample consisted of 1082 schoolchildren (50.1% male and 49.9% female). Differences between groups were compared using the Mann–Whitney U test (2 samples) and Kruskal–Wallis one-factor ANOVA (k samples). A total of 723 (66.94%) of the participants said they practiced some physical sports activity. The accelerometers obtained significant differences in all levels of physical activity, as well as in sleep efficiency, with higher levels of physical activity (sedentary p = 0.001; light p = 0.017; moderate p = 0.009; vigorous p = 0.001 and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity p = 0.002) and better sleep efficiency (p = 0.002) in those schoolchildren who perform some type of physical sports activity. A significant difference in time spent in sedentary activities was also observed between primary and secondary school pupils of both sexes and regardless of the degree of physical sports activity completion.Ítem Reference values for handgrip strength in the basque country elderly population(MDPI AG, 2020-12) Río de Frutos, Xabier; Larrinaga Undabarrena, Arkaitz; Coca Núñez, Aitor; Guerra-Balic, MyriamStrength training is currently the most recommended primary therapeutic strategy to prevent and reverse the decline of muscle mass, strength, and functional deterioration associated with age. The aim is to provide reference values of handgrip strength (HGS) in the Basque Country population and compare the values with other populations. A total of 1869 subjects from the health-promoting programme for adults and older adults run by the Bilbao City Council were assessed using HGS with a digital dynamometer and anthropometric data measured by Tanita to obtain the mean values according to age distribution. From the 1869 subjects, 87.5% were women and 12.5% men. The HGS was higher among men than women, 32.4 ± 6.6 versus 20.1 ± 4.7 kg, respectively, p < 0.001 at all ages. Weak HGS cut-off points by age groups ranged from 31.0 to 23.8 and from 18.9 to 12.4 in men and women, respectively. The sample data were compared (d, t, and α) with those of other populations in all age groups (group > 60 years at 95% df, p < 0.05). A health-promoting programme appears to be effective in the general population in obtaining better values in the HGS test as age increases.Ítem Valores de referencia del SPPB en personas mayores de 60 años en el País Vasco(Elsevier Doyma, 2021-10) Río de Frutos, Xabier; Guerra-Balic, Myriam; González Pérez, Alexander; Larrinaga Undabarrena, Arkaitz; Coca Núñez, AitorObjetivo: Proporcionar valores de referencia del Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) en adultos y adultos mayores en el País Vasco, identificando puntos de corte para medir la fragilidad y comparar los valores con otras poblaciones de España. Emplazamiento: Bilbao capital, País Vasco (España). Participantes: 1.923 personas mayores de 60 años incluidos en el Programa de Salud para Personas Mayores del Ayuntamiento de Bilbao participaron en el estudio. El programa de actividad física (AF) se impartió dos veces por semana durante un mínimo de 12 semanas, con sesiones de 50 minutos. Mediciones principales: Se evaluó a los participantes con la prueba SPPB que evalúa: equilibrio (PE), velocidad de la marcha en 4 m (PM) y la fuerza a través de la prueba de levantarse y sentarse de la silla (PS). Según el resultado obtenido de todas las pruebas, se identificó la funcionalidad de las personas en: limitación grave (cero a cuatro puntos), moderada (cuatro a seis puntos), leve (siete a nueve puntos) y mínima (10 a 12 puntos). Resultados: Edad media 77,9 (5,6) años, siendo el 87,9% mujeres y el 12,1% hombres. La batería SPPB mostró diferencias significativas en la edad (p = 0,000) y género (p = 0,005) Además, se realizó una comparación con una población similar: 70 a 75 a˜nos = 0,6 (d de Cohen), 76 a 79 años = 0,98 (d de Cohen) y >80 años = 0,98 (d de Cohen).Ítem Valores de referencia en los parámetros del sueño en escolares de Educación Básica en Euskadi(Federación Española de Asociaciones de Docentes de Educación Física (FEADEF), 2024) Larrinaga Undabarrena, Arkaitz; Albisua, Neritzel; Sánchez Isla, José Ramón; Sáez Gómez de Cadiñanos, Iker; Fernández-López, Juan Ramón; Jauregui Crespo, Andoni; Coca Núñez, Aitor; Río de Frutos, XabierUn sueño adecuado es crucial para el desarrollo físico, emocional y cognitivo de los niños y adolescentes, ya que afecta significativamente a su salud y al bienestar en general. En este contexto, el presente estudio presenta los valores de referencia de los parámetros del sueño en escolares de Educación Básica en Euskadi. Se analiza una muestra representativa de 1.073 escolares de entre 5 y 18 años, utilizando actigrafía para medir el tiempo total en cama, tiempo total de sueño, despertares nocturnos y eficiencia de sueño. Los resultados indican una disminución general en el tiempo total en cama y tiempo total de sueño a mayor edad, mientras que la eficiencia del sueño mejora gradualmente. Estos valores de referencia proporcionan una herramienta útil (percentiles) para la detección de valores en patrones de calidad sueño y diseño de políticas de salud y programas de intervención en edad escolar.
