摘要：Moreira SR, Cruz LC, Diniz LC, Albuquerque JB, Lima TS, Carvalho FO, Gonçalves MP. Associating Physical Activity Levels to Stress, High Blood Pressure, and High Blood Glucose Risks in Green Park Users. JEPonline 2013;16(3):51-58. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physical activity levels (PAL) and stress (n=93; 38 M and 55 F), PAL and blood pressure (BP) (n=98; 42 M and 56 F), and PAL and blood glucose (BG) (n=91; 36 M and 55 F) in Green Park Users. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to determine PAL. A Perceived Stress Scale was applied due to an indirect stress level setting. Blood pressure (BP) was automatically measured. Blood pressure was categorized into high and normal BP. Blood glucose measurements were divided into two distinct groups (hyperglycemia and normoglycemia). After gender, age, and body mass index adjustments, the results showed: (a) an association between PAL and high stress (OR=3.21; CI=1.02-10.05; P=0.04); and (b) no significant association between PAL and systolic BP (OR=1.17; CI=0.41-3.34; P=0.75), PAL and diastolic BP (OR=0.68; CI=0.16-2.80; P=0.59) as well as PAL and BG (OR=0.61; CI=0.16-2.21; P=0.45). The findings indicate that Green Park Users ranked as “low PAL” presented an odd ratio 3.2 times higher for high stress level. On the other hand, the Green Park Users, regardless of the PAL did not show high risk for BP and BG.
