Resumo

Introdução: O envelhecimento populacional representa um desafio para a manutenção da qualidade de vida (QV). Nos cuidados de saúde primários, o exercício físico supervisionado é essencial para a preservação do bem-estar físico, emocional e social.   Objectivo: Avaliar a qualidade de vida dos idosos seguidos nos cuidados primários durante 32 semanas de exercício físico individualizado, comparando dois grupos etários (60-69 anos e 70 ou mais anos).   Metodologia: Estudo quase experimental longitudinal realizado com 161 idosos (68,01 ± 5,46 anos) em Unidades Básicas de Saúde de Aracaju, Brasil. O módulo WHOQOL-OLD foi utilizado nas avaliações diagnóstica, formativa e sumativa.   Resultados: Observou-se um aumento significativo do Índice de Qualidade de Vida Geral entre as avaliações diagnóstica e sumativa (10,52%; p < 0,001), com melhoria da autonomia, funcionamento sensorial e participação social, não havendo diferenças entre os grupos etários.   Discussão: Os resultados confirmam que o exercício físico atua como um fator protetor da qualidade de vida contra as perdas inerentes ao envelhecimento.   Conclusões: O programa constitui uma intervenção eficaz nos cuidados primários, reforçando a importância das políticas públicas dirigidas ao envelhecimento ativo.
