“…Porém, quando estas realizam exercícios físicos, os resultados relacionados à autopercepção de saúde mostram-se positivos. Essa influência pode ocorrer devido à prática regular de exercícios físicos, diminuindo os efeitos dos distúrbios causados pelo período da menopausa, em que as mulheres sofrem diminuição de massa magra e aumento da gordura corporal, fatores que acentuam o risco para doenças crônicas e declínio funcional (SIMS et al, 2013;FORTALEZA et al, 2014).…”

O objetivo do estudo foi verificar a autopercepção de saúde de idosas praticantes de atividade física e fatores associados. Foi realizado um estudo transversal, recorte do estudo longitudinal do Centro de Referência e Atenção ao Idoso, no período de 2014 e 2015. Aplicou-se um questionário estruturado com questões sociodemográficas, comportamentais e clínicas. Participaram idosas que realizavam uma ou mais oficinas de exercícios físicos, como alongamento, ioga, pilates no solo, treinamento funcional e dança, no mínimo duas vezes por semana, há pelo menos um mês. Realizou-se análise descritiva e inferencial. Participaram do estudo 293 idosas, com idade média de 69 anos (± 6,9). A autopercepção de saúde foi relatada como positiva por 75,4% das idosas, e com relação a autopercepção de saúde negativa, não houve referência a saúde muito ruim e menos de 1% para saúde ruim. Na comparação de sua saúde no dia da entrevista com a de um ano atrás, 29,5% consideraram melhor e 56,8% igual, comparando com pessoas da mesma idade 62,5% referem estar melhor e 33,8% igual. Quanto a doenças crônicas, a maior frequência foi de hipertensão (58,6%), seguida por arritmia cardíaca (17,1%) e diabetes (11%). Houve associação entre autopercepção de saúde negativa e escolaridade, diabetes, arritmia cardíaca e uso de medicação. Conclui-se que a autopercepção de saúde pode ser influenciada pela escolaridade, condições clínicas, adesão e continuidade da prática de exercícios físicos em grupo.

“…16 In addition, Fortaleza et al showed that only abdominal fat, but not total body fat or percentage of body fat, is associated with impairment of physical capacity in elderly women. 24 During aging there are changes in body composition, such as increased body fat and decreased muscle mass and strength. 23 The association between low muscle mass and strength and excess fat is termed sarcopenic obesity.…”

Higher body mass index and lower waist circumference are associated to higher physical performance (SPPB) solely in dynapenic elderly women

Physical performance limitation is defined as difficulties in performing physical tasks. It is critical for the functional independence of the elderly. Limited physical performance is strongly associated with increased falls, hospitalizations, cardio and cerebrovascular diseases, and mortality in the elderly. The impact of body mass status and low muscle strength (dynapenia) on elderly physical performance is well documented. However, the interaction of these factors (muscle strength and body mass status) on the physical performance of the elderly is not yet clear. Objective: To assess the predictive power of body mass index (BMI) associated with waist circumference (WC) in determining the physical performance of older women classified as dynapenic (low muscle strength) or non-dynapenic. Method: One hundred forty-two older women were evaluated according to: anthropometry (BMI and WC), handgrip (HG) and physical performance (SPPB). The elderly were classified in dynapenic (HG < 20 kg) or non-dynapenic (HG ≥ 20 kg). Results: In both groups, multiple linear regression analysis indicated that BMI and WC were not associated with SPPB when they were analyzed separately. However, when BMI and WC were analyzed concomitantly, both were significantly associated with SPPB only for the dynapenic group. Conclusion: The main findings of this study suggest that WC and BMI applied together, but not separate, are predictors of physical performance in older women with dynapenia. These results are important for clinical practice because of easy application and low cost of measures.

“…Due to metabolic changes, postmenopausal women experience an accumulation of total, hip, and trunk fat, which affects posture, 28 leading to an increase in the risk of falls and fractures, 3 and this condition may be associated with frailty. 29 The CT is an efficient training strategy for changing body composition, increasing lean mass, and reducing fat, especially in the trunk.…”

Objective To analyze the effect of combined training (CT) in postural control and gait parameters in postmenopausal women. Methods A parallel-group, randomized, control study was conducted with 16 weeks of combined training (n = 16) versus a non-training control group (n = 12) in postmenopausal women (aged 59.3 ± 8.0). Pre and postintervention assessments included postural control (using an AMTI force platform – Advanced Mechanical Technology, Inc., Watertown, MA, USA) and gait impairments (using baropodometry). In addition, the upper limb strength and abdominal tests, as well as aerobic capacity, assessed functional indicators. Results The CT intervention in postmenopausal women resulted in improved gait (stride length (p = 0.006); speed (p = 0.013); double support time (p = 0.045); and improved postural control (displacement area of postural sway in a normal base of support with eyes open (p = 0.006). Combined training increased functional indicators (abdominal - p = 0.031; aerobic capacity - p = 0.002). Conclusion In conclusion, combined aerobic plus strength training effectively improved gait and balance control in older women. The postmenopausal women from the CT group walked faster and with bigger steps after the intervention than the control group. In addition, they presented decreased postural sway in standing and decreased the percentage of double support time while walking, which means improved static and dynamic balance control and functional indicators.
