“…For the elderly with normal mobility or able to stroll, but were prevalence of abdominal obesity as measured by WC and WHR [16] was also reported. It is noteworthy that, independent of excess weight, abdominal fat has an important impact on cardiovascular disease and is often associated with the occurrence of dyslipidemia, hypertension, insulin resistance and diabetes, especially among the elderly [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

Peculiar situations due to physiological changes of aging, the diseases present and psychosocial factors and dietary factors can influence the nutritional status of the elderly. The purpose was to identify nutritional status and associated factors among elderly residents of a long-term institution for the elderly in Belo Horizonte-MG. Sectional study conducted using a representative random sample. Socioeconomic data, nutrient intake and anthropometry were collected and a Mini Nutritional Assessment was conducted. The analysis employed multinomial logistic regression and decision trees. There was high prevalence of overweight (46.1%) among subjects, according to body mass index, as well as risk of malnutrition, according to the Mini Nutritional Assessment (67.3%), and inadequate intake of nutrients. In the decision tree analysis, it was found that the more independent elderly, who received visits and contributed financially less to the institution, had better nutritional status. Inadequate nutritional status associated with social conditions and mobility indicates the need to promote healthy eating habits by a nutrition team in conjunction with nursing staff and other professionals providing comprehensive health care for the elderly.

“…Alguns fatores podem explicar essa situação, tais como: a maior longevidade feminina, quando confrontada com homens em grupos etários mais velhos, sendo na população brasileira essa diferença por sexo de oito anos; maior solidão das mulheres em relação aos homens; menor exposição feminina a determinados fatores de risco e maior preocupação com o estado de saúde, enfatizada pela maior assistência gineco-obstétrica, que faz com que as mulheres procurem mais a Unidade de Saúde, conforme é demonstrado em diversos estudos. 12,[15][16][17][18][19] Quanto à escolaridade, houve predomínio de cinco a oito anos de estudo (51,6%) em ambos os sexos, o que difere de outros estudos, nos quais o analfabetismo foi mais prevalente na população masculina com cinquenta anos ou mais. 20 A maioria dos idosos é aposentada (60,2%), com renda familiar mensal de até três salários mínimos (67,8%).…”

A obesidade eleva as taxas de morbimortalidade, sendo um problema de saúde pública. Realizou-se estudo transversal com 123 participantes, objetivando identificar a proporção de casos e os fatores de risco para o sobrepeso/obesidade entre idosos com sessenta anos ou mais, atendidos por quatro equipes de Estratégia de Saúde da Família, de Passo Fundo-RS. Considerou-se variável dependente a obesidade e as demais como independentes: sexo, idade, renda familiar, escolaridade, ocupação, atividade física, tabagismo, medicação. As medidas antropométricas aferidas foram: peso, estatura, circunferência da cintura, quadril e cervical. Realizou-se análise bivariada usando o teste qui-quadrado de Pearson com um nível de significância <0,05. No modelo múltiplo permaneceram associadas à obesidade do idoso, a circunferência abdominal (p=0,000) e a circunferência cervical (p=0,000). No grupo estudado, sobrepeso/obesidade atingiu uma proporção de 49,6%. Os resultados indicam alta prevalência de sobrepeso/obesidade, reforçando a necessidade de estratégias por parte dos profissionais de saúde, visando bem-estar e longevidade.

Introduction:The otologic symptoms associated with hypertension are discussed for decades, yet its etiology remains obscure. Objective:To compare the frequency of vertigo in elderly patients with and without hypertension. Method:A prospective study of 238 individuals. We administered a questionnaire to fill in systematic data for verification of hypertension and vertigo-based protocol for audiological anamnesis used in routine care. Results and Discussion: There were a higher proportion of women in both groups. As for age, mean age was similar between the groups between the two groups. Regarding the use of medication, all were using some kind of medication continuously. In the study population with hypertension, 106 (90%) were using antihypertensive drugs. From 99 individuals who reported dizziness 22 (15.15%) of seniors were using anti-vertigo. Hypertensive patients 58 (23.8%) subjects reported dizziness and 41 non-hypertensive (16%) subjects reported dizziness. There was no significance between vertigo and hypertension in the study group, this probably by some criteria as to exclude individuals with diseases and use of medications capable of producing dizziness, which could not be avoided during the implementation, since most of them had associated disorders, common in the elderly. Conclusion:It was observed in the elderly with and without hypertension, high frequency of vertigo, although we have not achieved significant relationship between vertigo and hypertension in this population.
