摘要：The aim of the study was to investigate the differences between the prevalence of certain diseases sensitive to kinesiological treatment in physically active and inactive women aged 50 to 65. A total of 214 Caucasian urban women responded to the questionnaire on their health status. 111 women had been participating in aerobic classes 2-4 times a week for at least 5 years, while 103 women had never been involved in regular physical activity. The women were asked if they had been diagnosed with any of the following non-communicable diseases or health conditions: bone loss, coronary heart disease, heart arrhythmia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic low back pain, functional limitations of joints, anxiety, and depression. A statistically significant difference in the prevalence of two diseases was found. A significantly lower number of active women reported symptoms of heart arrhythmia (χ2= 4.36, p < 0.05) and anxiety (χ2 = 6.77, p < 0.01). The results of the investigation showed a significant difference between physically active and inactive postmenopausal women in two health conditions. Fewer active women reported heart arrhythmia and anxiety symptoms.
