“…Sarcopenia is one of the most widely used variables for indicating reduced mobility and functional capacity and increased frailty in older adults, increasing the risk of falls and fractures, dependence on others to carry out activities of daily living, hospitalizations, and early death 3,4 .…”

Article based on the master' s thesis of VR SANTOS, intitled "Capacidade funcional, composição corporal e condições de saúde de idosos longevos". Universidade Estadual Paulista; 2012.Factors associated with sarcopenia in subjects aged 80 years and over Fatores associados à sarcopenia em idosos longevos A B S T R A C T ObjectiveTo analyze whether sarcopenia is associated with sociodemographic factors and chronic noncommunicable diseases in adults aged 80 years and older. MethodsThe sample consisted of 120 adults aged 80 to 95 years (83.4±2.9 years) from the city of Presidente Prudente (São Paulo, Brazil), of which 76 were females (83.4±3.0 years) and 44 were males (83.4±2.6 years). The study sociodemographic and epidemiological factors were: age stratum, gender, marital status, education level, chronic noncommunicable diseases, ethnicity, and nutritional status. Body composition was determined by Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry and sarcopenia was identified by the appendicular lean mass ratio (upper limb lean mass + lower limb lean mass [kg]/height [m] 2 ). The Chi-square test analyzed whether sarcopenia was associated with sociodemographic and epidemiological factors and binary logistic regression expressed the magnitude of the associations. The data were treated by the software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (17.0) at a significance level of 5%. ResultsThe factors associated with sarcopenia were gender, age, nutritional status, and osteopenia/osteoporosis.

“…5 The capacity for trainability of the elderly is well documented, given that a decline in physical performance in old age can be delayed through training. 6 It is important to clarify that the more an individual has already been trained, the more difficult and time consuming it will be to improve, no matter how small, the level of his or her development. 6 However, merely participating in a physical activity program does not guarantee the maintenance of the physical fitness of elderly persons, due to the pauses/intervals that often take place during training.…”

Depending on the duration of these pauses, reversibility may occur, or in other words, partial or total loss of the benefits and performance acquired, leading to a reduction in the gains attributed to the practice of physical activity through long term training.…”

Minute Walk Test) was used. The intervention period lasted for eight months, and the detraining period took three months. Descriptive and inferential statistics with paired Student t-test and Scheffé post hoc was used. Results: The performance of the age groups differed in agility and aerobic capacity; Trainability was identified in the strength and resistance variables of the lower and upper limbs, and the flexibility of the lower limbs; Detraining was perceived in the strength and resistance of upper limbs, and aerobic capacity. Conclusion: A Functional Gymnastics program produces positive effects on the strength and resistance of the lower and upper limbs, and flexibility of the lower limbs in elderly women. An interruption period lasting three months results in detraining in strength and resistance of the lower limbs and aerobic capacity.

“…Aging is a continuous process in which morphological and functional declines occur, such as decreased lean body mass, bone and functional capacity (Buffa, Floris, Putzu, & Marini, 2011;Penha, Piçarro, Neto, & De, 2012;Roubenoff & Hughes, 2000), factors which may contribute significantly to an increase in the risk of falls and fractures (Mazo, Liposcki, Ananda, & Prevê, 2007), as well as negative changes in the metabolic profile (Lara, Casanova, & Spritzer, 2010). In the case of women, these aging consequences are intensified with menopause, a period characterized by the disruption of menstrual cycles and loss of ovarian function (World Health Organization, 1996).…”

The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between physical activity (PA) and total body (BLM), leg (LLM) and arm lean mass (ALM) in menopausal women. Sixty two 62 menopausal women were included (61.2±7.6 years). Their practice of PA was assessed by Actigraph GT3X accelerometer, and is reported as minutes per week of light or moderate-vigorous PA, and total PA. The sample was dichotomized into two groups according to their weekly practice of PA moderate-vigorous; physically active (≥150 minutes) and insufficiently active (<150 minutes). Body composition measures were assessed by DXA and were reported as percentages. Comparisons between the groups of PA and total and segmental lean body mass were performed by independent t test. Association between the tertile of BLM and the groups of PA were performed by chi-square test. Physically active women showed significantly higher mean values for BLM (52.8±5.4 vs 49.8±4.7; p=0.028) and LLM (17.1±2.2 vs 15.9±1.8; p=0.026), whereas the difference in the ALM was not significant. When the BLM was categorized into tertiles, it was significantly greater in physically active women (higher tertile=44.7%), compared with the insufficiently active women (higher tertile=16.7%). Menopausal women who spent more minutes engaged in moderate-vigorous PA can showed higher BLM and LLM.Keywords: menopause, women, motor activity, accelerometry, skeletal muscle, health. RESUMOO objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar a relação da atividade física (AF) e massa corporal magra total (BLM), de pernas (LLM) e braços (ALM) em mulheres na menopausa. Participaram do estudo 62 mulheres (61.2±7.6 anos). A pratica habitual de AF foi avaliada através do acelerômetro marca Actigraph GT3X e foi expressa em minutos por semana de AF leve e moderada-vigorosa, e AF total. A amostra foi dicotomizada em dois grupos de acordo com a prática semanal de AF moderada-vigorosa; grupo fisicamente ativo (≥150 minutos) e insuficientemente ativo (<150 minutos). A medidas de composição corporal foram estimadas utilizando o DEXA e foi reportada como percentual. A comparação entre os grupos de AF e a massa corporal magra total e segmentar foram realizadas pelo test t independente. A associação entre os tercis de BLM e os grupos de AF foi realizado pelo Qui-quadrado. O grupo fisicamente ativo apresentou maiores valores médios para BML (52.8±5.4 vs 49.8±4.7; p=0.028) e LLM (17.1±2.2 vs 15.9±1.8; p=0.026), enquanto que a diferença para ALM não foi estatisticamente diferente. Quando o BLM foi categorizado em tercis, 44.7% das mulheres fisicamente ativas se encontravam no tercil superior, enquanto que apenas 16.7% das insuficientemente ativas se encontravam nesse tercil. Mulheres na menopausa que despende maior tempo tempo em AF moderada-vigorosa podem apresentar maiores valores de massa corporal magra total e segmentar.
