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.
