Abstract: Objective: to verify if functional fitness (FF) is associated with the annual cost of medication consumption and mood states (MSt) in elderly people. Methods: a cross-sectional study with 229 elderly people aged 65 years or more at Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Coimbra, Portugal. Seniors with physical and psychological limitations were excluded, as well as those using medication that limits performance on the tests. The Senior Fitness Test was used to evaluate FF, and the Profile of Mood States -Short Form to … Show more

“…Mostly older adults have limited cognitive resources and lower functional performance than young adults, which leaves ample room for physical and cognitive improvements (Miller, Taler, Davidson, & Messier, ). In addition, studies show the interaction between the physical and cognitive aspects (Furtado et al, ; Ketcham & Stelmach, ; Laureano et al, ; Schaie, ), which enriches the findings of this research. In other words, functional performance is directly associated with the ability to perform ADLs, and these activities are dependent on the nature's task as well as the ability to choose the best motor response and respond adequately to the challenge in the environmental context.…”

“…This information reveals that cognitive improvement can positively affect the physical and functional aspects because it helps increase the information speed velocity and decrease the reaction time and allow the older adults to perform their activities more independently (Ketcham & Stelmach, ; Schaie, ). Thereafter, when older adults develop better balance (static and dynamic), agility, and speed to perform their activities, their safety, self‐esteem, functionality, and independence, that is, functional performance, increase (Furtado et al, ; Laureano et al, ). Therefore, our results reinforce the importance of encouraging and promoting multisensory exercises and reducing sedentary lifestyles in LTCF residents.…”

“…Provavelmente estas diferenças podem estar relacionadas ao índice de massa corporal da amostra de idosas que não foi diferente dos homens idosos, o que pode não ter influenciado na aptidão funcional das idosas da presente pesquisa. Em uma outra pesquisa realizada com 169 idosas e 60 homens idosos, com idades entre 65 a 95 anos, avaliando a aptidão funcional através do Senior Fitness Test, observou-se que na mobilidade física os grupos eram semelhantes, a força e resistência dos membros superiores e a flexibilidade dos membros inferiores e superiores foram melhores nas idosas do que o grupo dos homens idosos e, somente na resistência aeróbia é que os homens idosos foram melhores comparados às idosas 21 . Estes resultados corroboram em parte com os encontrados nesta pesquisa, pois na amostra de idosas no teste de mobilidade física foi semelhante aos homens idosos, entretanto, na força e resistência dos membros superiores e inferiores, flexibilidade e resistência aeróbia, não houveram diferenças significativas com o grupo dos homens idosos (p>0,05).…”

“…Poucos são os estudos que analisaram os efeitos sobre os custos partindo deste ponto de vista e os resultados existentes apontam associação inversa entre custos e aptidão. LAUREANO et al (2014) observaram menores custos em idosos com melhor aptidão aeróbia e YANG et al (2011) encontraram menores custos em idosos (≥ 70 anos) com melhor aptidão física segundo o nível de performance em testes de força muscular, caminhada, flexibilidade e agilidade. Infelizmente, os dados coletados pelas entrevistas do Estudo SABE sobre a AF dos idosos não nos permitiu realizar este tipo de análise.…”
