    (2025-03-17) Guanoluisa Chávez, Cynthia Patricia; Campos Moposita, Angela Priscila; Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Centro de Posgrados
    Home-based cardiac rehabilitation has become a fundamental strategy to improve the health and functionality of older adults, especially those with high blood pressure. The main objective of the research was to determine the effects of a homebased cardiac rehabilitation program on the functionality of hypertensive older adults. To do so, a quasi-experimental study was carried out in which the Senior Fitness Test was applied to evaluate the functional physical condition of the participants before and after the intervention. The program consisted of an aerobic exercise regimen (continuous and interval sprint) that consisted of stretching, joint mobility and breathing exercises, carried out for 14 weeks, with supervised sessions three times a week. The most significant results showed a notable improvement in the functional capacity of older adults, evidenced by the increase in the Senior Fitness Test scores. In addition, a decrease in blood pressure levels was observed, indicating that the program not only improved physical functionality but also contributed to the control of hypertension. These findings highlight the importance of regular physical activity in the cardiovascular health of older adults. In conclusion, the home-based cardiac rehabilitation program proved to be effective in improving functionality and reducing hypertension in older adults. The continuation of this type of program and the training of health professionals for its implementation in other communities is recommended. The proposal includes the development of similar initiatives that promote physical activity and healthy habits in the older adult population.

In Quisapincha there is great consumption of alcohol by the adolescent population, in addition there is great migration of the economically productive population, leaving families broken and dysfunctional. It is of interest to relate family functionality to the consumption of psychoactive substances in adolescents of the Quisapincha parish. Carrying out a descriptive, cross-sectional observational study. (1) Applying the FF SIL test to determine family functionality and the ASSIST test to determine the risk of consumption of psychoactive substances. In a sample of 105 adolescents, it was determined that family dysfunction is not related to the incidence of consumption {x2 (1, N = 105) = 1.414, p <0.234}, but functionality is a protective factor for substance use OR: 0.579. Conclusions: the consumption of psychoactive substances in the adolescent population is constantly growing, it was not possible to determine whether family functionality has a statistical relationship with substance use, but family functionality was a protective factor for substance use. equal incidence in both mestizo and indigenous populations. Recommendations An adequate intervention in the health system can improve the use and quality of preventive clinical services, it is important to control each priority population.
