Summary
Spain is the second country in the world that consume more drugs. The average drug expenditure per capita in Andalucía during 2011 was 219.2 €. This drug spending increases during the perimenopausal period. According to the Study of the Economic Impact of Sport on Health Spending of the Ministry of Health of the Generalitat of Catalonia, for every euro invested in sports promotion 50 euros are saved in health spending accumulated over 15 years. The main objectives of this project are: i) To analyze the (cost-effectiveness) effect of an exercise program on the prescription of drugs in a sample of Andalusian women aged 45-60 years. ii ) To study the level of physical activity and sedentarism (measured objectively by accelerometry ) , functional capacity , quality of life and clinical profile of this population. iii ) To analyze the relationship between levels of physical activity / sedentarism and pharmaceutical expenditure. In the present project, an exercise program aimed at minimizing symptoms and health problems associated with the perimenopausal period will be performed (Dyslipidemia, diabetes, anxiety, depression, quality of life, quality of sleep, obesity, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease). A total of 160 perimenopausal women will be randomly assigned to the intervention group exercise (n = 80 ) or to the usual care group (n = 80). Participants in the intervention group will train 3 days / week ( 60 min per session ) for 16 weeks.
With the analysis of the results of this project new patterns of objective work as well as the most significant practical resources for the design of a master plan may be determined. Results are expected to be able to shed some light on the implementation of programs of health promotion that are both time beneficial for the Andalusian Public Health and for the family , institutional and community economy.
Primary Outcome
