“…As for the age range, there was a significant increase of DM prevalence with growing age. This result corroborates the one observed by other national studies 11,21,22,29 . Most elderly people who were interviewed did not practice any physical activity.…”

“…According to the data from the National Research per Household Sample (Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios -PNAD), the prevalence of DM in the elderly population in Brazil is 16.1% 6 . In relation to the sociodemographic characteristics, there was a higher prevalence of DM among women, as observed by other studies in Brazil 11,25 . A possible explanation for these results would be the higher proportions of lack of knowledge on the presence of the disease among men and higher frequency of women in health services 26 .…”

“…The hormonal changes associated with climaterium seem to be responsible for the higher prevalence of DM among women than among men, from the age of 50 years 27 . In this study, higher education levels were inversely associated with the occurrence of DM and in other studies 10,11,28 . The low level of school education may limit the access to health information and hinder the understanding of the guidelines for prevention and/or treatment of DM, resulting in poor adequate control and risk of complications.…”

“…Ainda, observou-se moderada concordância entre o uso de medicamentos para diabetes e a informação referida sobre a doença, o que sugere o uso da última como método alternativo de investigação quando não se dispuser de outra forma de avaliação. differences are clear among the various Brazilian populations, and the effectiveness of DM prevention programs and campaigns are influenced by these different realities 10,11 . One of the reasons for the lack of knowledge on this prevalence is the difficulty for determining it through measuring the blood glucose level and the use of hypoglycemic, which generate costs and operational difficulties 12 .…”

ABSTRACT:Objectives: To assess the prevalence and factors associated with diabetes in the elderly population and verify the correlation between the use of medications for diabetes and information about the disease. Methods: This epidemiological cross-sectional study was conducted in Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil, with 621 elderly people aged 60 years or older selected by simple random sampling. A semi-structured questionnaire was used as a research tool and included questions about socioeconomic conditions, lifestyle, health conditions, and nutritional status. The weight, height, and waist circumference were measured. The dependent variable was the self-reported diabetes. In the association analysis between explanatory variables and self-reported diabetes, the Poisson regression analysis with robust variance was used. In the bivariate analysis, a p value < 0.25 was used to include the variables for the multivariate modeling, and in the final model, the variables with p value < 0.10 association were included. Results: The prevalence of diabetes was 22.4%. The multivariate hierarchical analysis showed the following factors independently and positively associated with diabetes: gender, self-reported health, history of hypertension/dyslipidemia, polypharmacy, and waist circumference. The elderly schooling was negatively associated with diabetes. Conclusion: The results showed the need for implementation of educational public policies to promote behavior changes of the population to prevent and control diabetes and its complications.

Effect of a single session of aerobic walking exercise on arterial pressure in community-living elderly individuals

et al. 2012

Several studies have demonstrated that one exercise session (ES) on a cycloergometer or ergometric treadmill causes a reduction in blood pressure (BP). However, there are few similar studies on walking, which is the exercise modality most available to the elderly. We investigated the immediate and 24-h effects of walking on BP in independent, community-living elderly individuals. Volunteers participated in a single ES and resting control session (CS). Before and after each session, BP was measured by auscultatory and oscillometric methods. After each session, 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was conducted. An accelerometer was installed 48 h before the sessions and left in place for 5 days. The mean volunteer age was 67.7 ± 3.5 years; 11 were hypertensive patients under treatment, and 12 were normotensive. In the total sample, there were immediate 14mm Hg and 12 mm Hg reductions in systolic BP (SBP) after the ES according to the auscultatory and oscillometric methods, respectively. Diastolic BP (DBP) was reduced by 4 mm Hg after the ES according to both methods. SBP during wakefulness and sleep and DBP during wakefulness were lower after the ES than after the CS (Po0.01), when wakefulness and sleep were determined individually (variable-time pattern) using data from the activity monitors and provided by the volunteers. Keywords: actigraph; aerobic exercise; ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; blood pressure; elderly individuals INTRODUCTIONThe aging process is associated with many important physiological changes, of which increased blood pressure (BP) is one of the most well known. In addition to regular physical exercise, a single session of acute exercise has also been observed to reduce BP during the recovery period.Hypotensive responses have been observed in hypertensive animals 1,2 and normotensive (NT) and hypertensive humans. [3][4][5][6] The magnitude of the hypotensive response to aerobic exercise varies between NT and hypertensive subjects and young and elderly subjects. In a study conducted in NT and hypertensive elderly persons, 6 reduced BP was observed only in hypertensive subjects after executing a single exercise session (ES) on a cycloergometer. In another study including only NT women, 7 a marked reduction in BP was observed after acute dynamic exercise in middle-aged and elderly women but not in young women. Other studies 8,9 have shown greater BP reductions in persons aged 41-60 years compared with older and younger individuals.Ambulatory arterial blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) has been extensively used to obtain more detailed information about BP
