“…A higher frequency of smoking habit and alcohol consumption was observed among males, the same found in other studies 18,21,30 . Excess weight and especially abdominal obesity correlate with most of the cardiovascular risk factors, mainly with high levels of triglycerides and reduced levels of HDL, with a higher impact on the increase of blood pressure, as markedly The frequencies of high levels of total cholesterol and LDL remained practically unchanged with increases in BMI and waist circumference, as observed in other studies 25,33,34 , possibly indicating a lower interference of excess weight and central fat distribution in increases in blood levels of these lipids.…”

Objective: To evaluate the association between cardiovascular risk factors and the anthropometric values -body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). Methods:It was studied 231 employees of Federal University of Viçosa, Brazil, 54,1% of them were men (21-76 years old) were measured. Glycemia, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, blood pressure, BMI, WC, waist-to-hip ratio and body fatness. It was also investigated smoking, alcohol consumption and physical activity. Results:The prevalence of overweight/obesity in this population was high mainly in women. The abdominal obesity was observed in 74% of the women and 46,1% of the men. The average of BMI, body fatness, total cholesterol, HDL and triglycerides were significantly higher in men than in women. (p < 0,05). The sedentary lifestyle was a risk factor for obesity. Smoking and alcohol consumption were more common among men and normal weight volunteers. Most of the correlations between anthropometric indices and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases were significant, but weak and the WC was the index that had the strongest correlation and that associated with the largest number of variables. It was observed that with an increase of the BMI and the abdominal fat, there was also an increase of the glycemia, triglycerides and blood pressure and a decrease of HDL. The metabolic syndrome was more common among men and overweight and obese volunteers. Conclusion:In this study, the frequency of cardiovascular risk factors increased along with BMI and WC. Demographic transition, mainly characterized by a decrease in fecundity and reduction in infant and preschooler mortality, has resulted in an increasingly higher life expectancy in the Brazilian population 1

“…(24) Anthropometry identified that 70% of elderly are overweight (25) and 89.8% of women have abdominal circumference > 80 cm, being an indicative of increased risk for cardiovascular disease, as shown in other studies. (26,27) Associated with this health condition and confirming other studies of aging, it was observed a high prevalence of chronic diseases such as anxiety, chronic pain, osteoarthritis, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. (23,28) The natural aging process causes structural and functional deterioration, generating alterations in the psychomotor function and balance, predisposing to falls.…”

Introduction: Low levels of physical activity and functional mobility lead to greater difficulty in performing activities of daily living and are directly proportional to mortality in the elderly. Thus, there are the need to create mechanisms linked to the maintenance of the functional capacity, which assure the elderly autonomy and self-confidence. Objective: To verify the level of physical activity and functional mobility in the elderly and if this functional mobility suffers interference of the age group and physical activity. Methods: The study involved the elderly aged 60 and over, living in Senhor do Bonfim (BA), in the northeastern region of Brazil, from February to July 2015. The evaluation of the subjects occurred in a single session, with physical and general clinical evaluation, as well as the collection of sociodemographic, anthropometric and self-reported morbidities through the application of questionnaires. It was also carried out the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) to verify the levels of functional mobility and level of physical activity with application of the International Questionnaire of Physical Activity (IPAQ) adapted for the elderly. Results: In this study, 127 patients were studied, predominantly female (87%) and mean age of 68 ± 7 years, and the majority of the elderly corresponded to the age group of 60 to 69 years. The elderly belonging to the group considered inactive (IPAQ up to 150 min/weekly) presented the execution time of TUG higher than the elderly in the group considered active (IPAQ > 150 min/weekly), with averaging time for carrying out the test of 10.5±2 minutes and 8.9±2 minutes respectively, with a statistically significant difference of p<0.01. And the execution time of TUG increased proportionally to the increase of the age group. Conclusion: Elderly with lower level of physical activity and belonging to the higher age groups present a higher risk of falls. Strategies should be developed to stimulate increased physical activity level and functional mobility of this population, especially among the older ones, reducing the incidence of falls and providing greater autonomy.

“…Studies that used the reference point ³ 130mg/dL observed lower prevalences than that found in our study, as the one carried out by Bertolami et al 20 with metal sheet employees from São Bernardo do Campo (SP), that found 37% of individuals with high levels of LDL-cholesterol, and the study by Cardoso et al 24 , in Cotia, observed a prevalence of 34% of that dyslipidemia. The study by Cercato et al 25 did not show any association among the increase in levels of total cholesterol and LDLcholesterol and obesity.…”

ObjectiveTo assess the lipidic profile of overweight and obese individuals submitted to cardiologic assessment and who did not show evidences of cardiopathy. MethodsSample with 684 individuals, 389 (56.9%) 26.15 and in men 26.33 (p=ns). In the analysis through BMI ranges there was a significant difference between the sexes (p=0.037). In the categories of overweight and obesity, only the means of triglycerides in women showed a significant statistic difference: overweight women with 102.25±60.68 mg/dL and obese 121.64±63.57 mg/dL (p=0.034). ConclusionWomen without cardiopathy showed serum levels of glucose, triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol lower than men's. In both sexes, the means are lower in the comparison with eutrophic and overweight, and only the triglycerides average of women with overweight and obesity showed significant statistic difference.
