“…In the activity of sitting down and standing up, it was found that there was a greater distribution of elderlies defined overweight without limitation. A study conducted in Campina Grande, Paraíba State indicated that the reduction in muscle mass is associated with decreased muscle strength and impairment of daily activities to be performed by elderly people (32) .…”

The elderlies without partners have 7.753 times the chance of presenting excess weight when compared to those with partners. Having an income higher than a minimum wage represents 6.014 times the chance of being overweight. Not having health problems amounts to 0.015 times the chance of being overweight. In the motorperformance, not presenting limitation of balance represents 6.785 times the possibility of being affected by excess weight.

“…This mobility may be limited by personal factors associated with the physiological process of aging, or environmental factors. Personal factors include the impairment of muscle strength and flexibility, increased rigidity of the periarticular and intramuscular connective tissues, the decline of the tolerance of the body to exercise, decreased nerve conduction and reduced visual, auditory and vestibular acuity 7,8 . Among environmental factors, the main barriers are associated with the inadequacies of public transportation accessibility and irregularities in the sidewalks and roads used by the elderly.…”

Objective: To analyze the association between the decline in the mobility of community dwelling elderly persons in São Paulo, Brazil and their capacity to use public transportation, and its impact on their quality of life and social participation. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted of 32 community dwelling elderly persons, of both genders (59% female), with an average age of 75.5 years (±9.2). The participants were evaluated by functional mobility, risk of falls, fear of falls and independence in activities of daily living. In addition, the perception of the elderly persons of their mobility on public transport and its impact on their social participation was evaluated. The elderly persons were divided into two groups: with mobility impairment and without mobility impairment. The groups were compared using the Fisher's Exact, Chi-Squared and Mann-Whitney tests, and the unpaired Student's t-test. An alpha level of 0.05 was adopted as a level of statistical significance. Result: Elderly persons with greater mobility impairment exhibited greater difficulty accessing public transport and a greater number of falls during their use of the same. Elderly persons who reported difficulty accessing public transport suffered greater impact on their social participation and quality of life. Conclusion: Elderly persons with greater mobility impairment had a greater number of complaints related to public transport. Additionally, they suffered a greater impact on their social participation, characterized by limitations in their capacity for independent movement around the city, limiting their social activities.

“…The increase in the redistribution of body fat with increased accumulation in trunks, viscera, and reduction in members, is connected to major body modifications, such as a reduction in lean mass, par- ticularly muscle mass and bone mineral density [18]. Aging is characterized by morphological changes, especially with accumulation of body fat and lean body mass reduction, a process known as sarcopenia [6,19].…”

Objective: Identify a score for the diagnostic assessment of health and body image based on anthropometric and biochemical measures in the elderly. Method:Transversal research exploratory and quantitative approach, developed in the South of the city of João Pessoa-PB with 21 elderly practitioners of physical exercises in sport aerobics in the period of May to June 2015. It was used a sociodemographic questionnaire and the International Physical Activity questionnaire, IPAQ. The research was authorized by the ethics on Research Committee of the University Center of João Pessoa/PB, CAAE 38840214.7.0000.5176. Results:The study subjects had an average age of 65.9 and standard deviation 6.92 years. It was observed in table 2 the importance of body fat Mass and waist hip as the most influential in lifestyle, according to the non-parametric test of McNemar suitable for dichotomous dependent data. In table 3 the importance of all variables with exception of Edema as the most influential in body image, according to the non-parametric test of McNemar Conclusion: It is observed that the elderly present composition of body fat mass and relative CK high, according to the measure of proximity of Jaccard, thus most of the elderly are in opposition to a healthy lifestyle. It is essential for the understanding of the characteristics and the transformations that the individuals with the advancement of age
