Abstract

espanolIntroduccion: Actualmente se esta produciendo un acusado cambio demografico en el que se observa un envejecimiento en la poblacion activa. De hecho alrededor del 50% tiene 45 o mas anos. Resultando por tanto un desafio y una necesidad para nuestra sociedad el tratar de mejorar la calidad de vida de los trabajadores de mediana edad. Objetivo: Identificar y evaluar si la realizacion de intervenciones en el lugar de trabajo mejoran la calidad de vida de los trabajadores de mediana edad. Metodologia: Se ha realizado una revision bibliografica sistematica basada en la literatura publicada desde el 2004 hasta diciembre de 2018 en varias bases de datos cientificas: MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, SCIELO y SCOPUS. Resultados: La busqueda produjo un total de 372 registros y tras la aplicacion de la formula de busqueda y criterios de exclusion e inclusion, se seleccionaron un total de 11 articulos (10 ensayos clinicos y 1 estudio de cohortes). Se evidenciaron resultados estadisticamente significativos en distintas intervenciones en el lugar de trabajo que lograron mejorar la calidad de vida de los trabajadores. Conclusiones: La evidencia recopilada en esta revision sistematica resulta consistente respecto a la capacidad que tienen las intervenciones que fomentan la salud y el bienestar en el lugar de trabajo para mejorar la calidad de vida de los trabajadores de mediana edad. Sin embargo seria recomendable la realizacion de nuevos estudios para poder ampliar este campo de conocimiento EnglishIntroduction: There is currently a marked demographic change in which the active population is in aging process.
