| dc.description.abstract | In the elderly physical changes will occur one of the joints, that is; fluid decreased
so easy to brittle bones, cartilage between persendiaa osteoartritis become rough and
will eventually disappear, the depletion of calcium metabolism causes bones to
become porous. So that can cause pain in the osteoartritis. Sports that do regularly
has benefits; hormone can stimulate endogenous opioids, increases skeletal muscle
strength, and improve cardiovascular endurance. So the purpose of this study to
correlate exercise with osteoartritis in older adults. The study was an analytic survey,
with a total sample of 36 people and control the amount of 25, where discussions on
the control only in the core analysis. The design on the case control study using a
retrospective approach and use non probability sampling technique of sampling
with purposive sampling approach. Based on research results obtained in the case
of respondents who exercise regularly have 18 people experience osteoartritis, and
10 people who did not experience , osteoartritis while exercising routine not 8 people
experience osteoartritis. In the controls, who did not experience osteoartritis as many
as 18 people to do regular exercise and 7 people do not exercise regularly.
Spearman test results obtained (p = 0.002), (r =- 0.492) and (OR = 0.75). Thus
there is a relationship between exercise habits with osteoartritis in older adults.
where the relationship of two variables have a medium correlation strength, and the
negative direction. This shows the more regular a person doing exercise habits then
the risk of experiencing osteoartritis becomes less and less, where osteoartritis is not
only influenced by exercise habits but also influenced by other factors such as
characteristics of respondents. In this case means the habit of exercise can inhibit or
prevent the onset of osteoartritis in older adults by 0.79 times greater than those who
did not
exercise habits. | en_US |
