Resumen

El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar la relación de la tensión arterial con la actividad física y la antropometría en una población de 295 adolescentes (edad media, 15,3 años) estudiantes de 1º de formación profesional en el curso 1990/91 en la villa de Puerto Real (Cádiz-España).

La tensión sisólica, diastólica (fase V de Korotkoff) y las medidas antropométricas (peso, tallay pliegues cutáneos tricipital y subescapular) fueron tomadas con técnicas estandarizadas. La actividad física habitual y deportiva se valoró mediante un cuestionario autoadministrado. Los resultados de este estudio sugieren la existencia de una asociación entre la actividad habitual y la tensión sistólica únicamente en las chicas, y una débil relación inversa (no significativa) entre la tensión arterial sistólica y la actividad deportiva. El único predictor de la tensión arterial en las chicas fue el índice de masa corporal, y en los chicos fueron el IMC y la talla. La adiposidad de los alumnos, medida mediante los pliegues cutáneos, no se ha relacionado significativamente con las variables tensionales en el análisis de reqresión múltiple.

Summary

The relationsh ip of blood pressure with physical activity and antropometry was studied in 295 adolescents (mean age, 15.3 years) who entered 1º «formación profesional» (a Technological Training) in 1990 in Puerto Real, a village of Cádiz, Spain.

Sistolic and diastolic (fifth-phase Korotkoff) blood pressure, and anthropometries measurements (weight, height and tricep and subescapular skinfolds thickness) were measured with standardized techniques. Habitual and sports physical actvity were assessed by a selfreported questionnaire. The results reported in this study suggest that sistolic blood pressure is associated with habitual physical activity in girls, and that the sistolic blood pressure is associated weakly with sports activity in girls and in boys. The stronger predictor of blood pressure was Quetelet Index (kg/m2).
