Coronary events affect the population in a growing process resulting from a constant
process of globalization and change in life habits, thus, the practice of physical activity
is an important ally in the prevention and treatment of CVD and associated
comorbidities. The objective of this research was to know the level of physical activity
and nutritional status of cardiac patients admitted to a referral hospital. Methodology:
crosssectional and analytical study, conducted with 41 patients, of both sexes who had
a diagnosis of heart disease. Sociodemographic data, laboratory tests, level of physical
activity and anthropometry were collected. Results: the sample consisted predominantly
of males (78.05%), elderly (60.98%), married (48.78%), from the metropolitan region
of Belém (58.54%), with education incomplete primary education (41.46%), family
income of 1 and 3 minimum wages (51.22%), exhuming (63.41%), exethilist (58.54%),
and among the pathologies, 75.61% had AMI (75.61%) and eutrophic BMI (48.78%).
The practice of physical activity was observed in 51.22% of the sample. There was no
difference between nutritional status and the association between the level of physical
activity according to the type of heart disease (AMI, ICC, BAVIT, ANGINA). In AMI
cardiopathy, there was a significant difference for nutritional status, with fewer
overweight and mostly eutrophic individuals and for the level of physical activity, with
most individuals <75 min per week. However, regardless of heart disease, it was
observed that 70.73% of the studied sample has a low frequency of physical activity
(<75 min weekly). Conclusion: It was observed that in the sample studied, the level of
physical activity and nutritional status did not present a significant relationship with
heart diseases.
