“…17 Quando investigados em relação ao percentil 50, os valores médios de DCT apresentaram uma tendência a diminuir com o aumento da idade, principalmente para as mulheres, corroborando o encontrado em outros estudos. 8,11,[29][30][31] Para os homens, observou-se diminuição discreta da DCT apenas do grupo etário de 60-69 para o de 70-79 anos, aumentando no grupo de 80 anos e mais de idade.…”

Objective: To provide anthropometric data of elderly people living in the urban area of Joinville, SC. Methodology: Two hundred and eighteen elderly people, aged 60 years or more, of both sexes, not institutionalized and residents in the urban area of Joinville city-SC were analyzed, in the year of 2002. The elderly were gathered according to sex and age group (60-69 years, 70-79 years and 80 and more). The anthropometric variables are presented under the average form, deviation-pattern and percentile (P5, P10, P25, P50, P75, P90 and P95). Results: From 218 elderly, 130 (59.6%) were women and 88 (40.4%) men. Although the mean values of most investigated variables were proposing a tendency to reduce with the age increase, there was no statistically significant difference in the mean values among the age groups for both sex (p>0.05). When compared by sex, the body mass index, hip circumference and skinfolds mean values of women were significantly higher from the men. These, however, presented the waist circumference mean value significantly higher from the women (p <0.05). Conclusion: Most of the studies accomplished with elderly people in other countries have been investigated this category considering people with 65 years old or more, what makes difficult the comparison with the Brazilian data. In addition to other studies with elderly people in Brazil, the data obtained in this study can contribute for the construction of an anthropometric pattern of the Brazilian elderly population, inexistent in the country so far.

“…There are limitations to this study. BMI is used in most epidemiological studies, has good correlation with body weight (r=0.80), low correlation with height, but it does not express the quantity or the distribution of body fat [35,36]. In the elderly, there is controversy about the cut-off points.…”

O efeito do índice de massa corporal sobre as complicações no pós-operatório de cirurgia de revascularização do miocárdio em idososThe effect of the body mass index on postoperative complications of coronary artery bypass grafting in elderly Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the effect of BMI (body mass index) in the postoperative period of elderly patients undergoing CABG.Methods: Cross-sectional retrospective study, carried out in academic hospital, with all patients (n=290), aged or above 60 years, undergone CABG, from August 2006 to July 2007. The patients were divided into tertiles of BMI (<22, 22-27,> 27kg /m²). The variables included in the study were collected from medical records of patients and analyzed by logistic regression in association with the categories of BMI.Results: In the group with malnutrition were found larger percentage of impaired lung, kidney, hospital stay and immediate surgical mortality; but without statistical significance. Among female patients, the group malnutrition and eutrophy, 61.5% had hospital stay for a period longer than seven postoperative days compared to 42.5% male patients (p=0.003). In the group with malnutrition was found association between the CPB time and renal dysfunction with p<0.001 and, in eutrophic group with p=0.04. Obesity obtained protective association for lung dysfunction (RR=0.99), readmissions (RR=0.45) and mortality (RR = 0.77), and risk factor for renal dysfunction (RR=1.12).

“…Percent WL is a parameter readily determined and useful to assess nutritional status in ALS. BMI should not be the unique marker to assess nutritional status because of the lack of sensitivity to low weight losses, adipose accumulation, lean mass reduction and dehydration, all of which may make it difficult to interpret the results [28][29][30] .…”

-Objective:To establish correlations between nutritional, functional and respiratory indices of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Method: Twenty patients (13 appendicular -GA and 7 bulbar -GB) were included in the multidisciplinary study at the Neurological Clinic Ambulatory of the University of Campinas Hospital. Results: Among the GA type significant correlation was observed between maximal inspiratory (MIP) and expiratory (MEP) pressure (r= -0.76), MEP and pulse oxymetry (r=0.58), MIP and percent weight loss (%WL; r=0.59), and between MIP, total and subscale respiratory scores (ALSFRS-R) with %WL. With regard to the GB, correlation was found between MEP and body mass index (BMI) (r=0.97). In both GA and GB correlations were noticed between the BMI and the variables mass (kg), fat (%), arm and wrist circumference (cm), and tricipital, subscapular and supra-iliac skinfolds (mm), as well as the arm muscle circumference (cm) and fatty arm muscular area (mm 2 ). Conclusion: It is suggested that the application of simple anthropometric measurements could be useful in routine monitoring of patients with ALS.KEY WORDS: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, nutritional support, respiratory tests, ALSFRS scale. esclerose lateral amiotrófica: correlações dos indicadores da avaliação nutricional, funcional e respiratóriaResumo -Objetivo: Correlacionar os indicadores utilizados na avaliação nutricional, funcional e respiratória de indivíduos com esclerose lateral amiotrófica (ELA). Método: Vinte pacientes (13 apendiculares -GA e 7 bulbares -GB) foram incluídos no estudo usando parâmetros nutricionais, respiratórios e escala funcional (ALSFRS-R). Resultados: Entre os pacientes do GA, as correlações observadas foram: pressão inspiratória máxima (PI max ) e expiratória máxima (PE max ) (r= -0,76); PE max e oximetria de pulso (r=0,58); PI max e porcentagem de perda de peso (%PP) (r=0,59); e entre PI max , escore ALSFRS-R com %PP. No GB, houve correlação entre MEP e índice de massa corporal (IMC) (r=0,97). Em GA e GB, observaram-se correlação entre IMC e as variáveis: massa, gordura (%), circunferência braquial e punho, pregas cutâneas tricipital, subescapular e supra-ilíaca, circunferência muscular do braço (cm), área muscular gordurosa do braço (mm 2 ). Conclusão: Sugere-se a aplicação deste conjunto de medidas durante a evolução clínica de indivíduos com ELA. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: esclerose lateral amiotrófica, suporte nutricional, testes respiratórios, escala ALSFRS-R.
