Resumen

Introducción: Las consecuencias del COVID-19 en la función pulmonar, la calidad de vida y el comportamiento relacionado con el ejercicio entre adultos jóvenes con sobrepeso siguen siendo poco claras.

Objetivo: Investigar los efectos de la infección por COVID-19 sobre la calidad de vida, la función pulmonar y el comportamiento relacionado con el ejercicio físico en hombres y mujeres jóvenes con sobrepeso.

Metodología: Un total de 128 hombres y mujeres jóvenes con sobrepeso fueron divididos en dos grupos: aquellos con antecedentes confirmados de infección por COVID-19 (COVID) y aquellos sin antecedentes de infección (NCOVID). Se evaluaron la calidad de vida, la función pulmonar, el comportamiento relacionado con el ejercicio y los efectos residuales vinculados a la enfermedad. Para comparar las diferencias entre ambos grupos, se utilizó una prueba t para muestras pareadas, estableciendo el nivel de significación estadística en p < .05.

Resultados: Las mujeres que habían tenido COVID experimentaron un dolor o malestar de leve a moderado en la dimensión de calidad de vida que fue significativamente mayor que en el grupo NCOVID. La calidad de vida se asoció con la estatura entre los hombres del grupo con COVID. Las dimensiones de movilidad, cuidado personal, actividades habituales, y ansiedad o depresión en la calidad de vida no mostraron diferencias entre los dos grupos. La frecuencia de ejercicio fue mayor entre los hombres jóvenes con sobrepeso que entre las mujeres en ambos grupos. Tanto los hombres como las mujeres con sobrepeso no reportaron síntomas; sin embargo, las mujeres informaron tos y dificultad para respirar con mayor frecuencia que los hombres después de contraer COVID-19. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la función pulmonar ni en el comportamiento relacionado con el ejercicio entre los dos grupos.

Conclusiones: Este estudio indicó que las mujeres con sobrepeso del grupo COVID experimentaron más dolor o malestar leve a moderado en su calidad de vida que el grupo NCOVID, sin diferencias en la función pulmonar ni en el comportamiento de ejercicio entre ambos grupos.
