Abstract
Background: A solid evidence base supports the positive relationship between regular physical activity and health, and studies have largely examined the effects of brisk walking, leisure-time exercise, or occupational activity rather than domestic activities. Objective: Determine how housework and physical activities (gardening, harvesting water and firewood (for winter), cleaning of the whole house, shopping) affect the development of morbidity among the elderly population. Materials and Methods: The 2481 members of the community were taken from two cities of the Turkestan region, Shimkent and Turkestan. For contingency tables, the χ2 criterion was used to assess the significance of differences between the actual (identified as a result of the study) quantitative or qualitative characteristics of the sample falling into each category and the theoretical amount that can be expected in the study groups if the null hypothesis is true.For multi-table tables have used Cramer’s V criterion V. Results: Gardening and Shopping showed a weak relationship between these variables at 48.9 and 36.8% with confidence levels p = 0,001 and 0,0001, respectively. V Cramer showed a weak bond at 0.13-0.12 for both variables. Collection of water and firewood (for winter) and cleaning of the whole house/apartment, illustrates the absence of any connection between the nominal variables under investigation and the frequency at cm2 5.6-16.4 with the confidence level p = 0,0003 -0,001, respectively. Conclusion: As can be seen from the above results, physical activity particularly housework does not obviously show a connection in the development of chronic morbidity among single elderly people.
Highlights
The inclusion criteria were residences over 65 years of age who are considered as single people according to local primary care centers and who permanently live in the Turkestan region, participants who did not meet these criteria were excluded
The important point of the interview was focused on more specific issues, such as loneliness, the frequency of communication with relatives or children, participation in public life, and frequency of physical activity
We analyzed the relationship between chronic morbidity and various types of household chores among single older people
Summary
Older people devote more and more time to those life tasks and goals that they previously did not have time to solve and implement. This is confirmed by the materials of numerous studies of this fact. Household chores are part of the daily life of all people After retirement, this activity, as a rule, becomes the main occupation of older people [14]. A solid evidence base supports the positive relationship between regular physical activity and health, and studies have largely examined the effects of brisk walking, leisure-time exercise, or occupational activity rather than domestic activities
