Objetive: describe the anthropometric profile of life quality and and the le level of physical activities from people living with HIV/AIDS in Altamira—PA. Methodology: a descriptive study involving 48 people, from 20 years old on and both genders, living with HIV/AIDS attended at SAE in Altamira—PA, who accepted participate in this research whose socialdemografic and clinical dates, as the number of lymphocytes T CD4+ and viral load were taken from records, and asked a protocol questionaries authenticated to avaliation of life quality WHOQOL HIV – Bref and the International Physical Activity Questionary—IPAQ—short version; it was done an indinvidual physical avaliation to the collect of anthropometric measurements like weight, height, Body Mass Index(BMI),circumferences and Waist Hip Ratio(WHR). The obtained dates were saved on EXCEL to be processed and analysed by descriptive and inferentional statistic. Results: the statistical population was composed by 29 women (60,4%) and 19 men (39,6%) prevailing age between 40-49 years old (37,5%) and age average of 39,4 years old; low education (66,7%); the group of single, widow /widower or separated/divorced (62,5%). In the level of physical activity, it was observed that 64,6% of the population was sedentary, being 41,4% overweighted women. In the distribution of people living with HIV/AIDS there was a significative diference (P=0,0013) in the proportion of cardiovascular risk acording the WHR and of which 70% were using the antiretroviral therapy in the average of 3,55 years. In the avaliation of life quality according WHOQOL HIV—Bref the score of the most positive average found with the WHOQOL HIV—Brief was the mastery of Spirituality and the lowest score was the mastery of Environment. And it was also observed a significantly average (P=0,011) in the psychological domain of the group with TCD4+< 200. There was no significance ancording the TARV. Conclusion: the SAE from Altamira shows the epidemiological trends of global pandemic HIV/AIDS as to the feminilization, pauperization and interiorization of this sickness. The BMI may reflect the most common behavior in the women with high propbability of risk in cardiovascular diseases. The IPAQ demonstrated that there is a population which most part is sedentary, with members physically slothfull and with great chance to suffer with the effects of lipodystrophy, methabolic disorders and bodily changes by the lack of physical activity and physical exercises. Generally, the observations looked like the general population which can be a reflex of the small sample of evaluated pacients. There is the necessity of aditional researches with a bigger sample to well evaluate the prhysical activity level, life style of PVHA, enabling proposals of specific intervention to pacients who live with HIV/AIDS.Acesso AbertoDoenças infectocontagiosasAntropometriaQualidade de vidaAtividade físicaHIV/AIDSAltamira - PAPará - EstadoDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::SAUDE COLETIVA::SAUDE PUBLICACNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::SAUDE COLETIVA::EPIDEMIOLOGIA
