“…The current ESF practice seems to have positive effect, given the low prevalence of elderly individuals using unsafe and non-prescribed medication, reducing the risk of iatrogenic effects, adverse reactions and drug interactions. 4,10 Of the socio-economic variables, only the level of schooling was directly linked to taking medication. Polypharmacy was more prevalent among elderly individuals with lower levels of schooling.…”

“…This is due to a combination of factors: higher prevalence of chronic illness, polypharmacy and, often, malnutrition. 4,10,21 There is no consolidated definition of the term polypharmacy. Bushardt et al, 3 in a revision of the literature, identifi ed a number of concepts; among the most commonly found were "taking medication inappropriate to the diagnosis", "taking multiple medications", "duplicating drugs and/or taking potentially inappropriate medication".…”

OBJECTIVE:To analyze medication use and associated factors among the elderly. METHODS:A population-based cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample of 400 elderly people aged over 60 living in the urban area covered by the Family Health Strategy program in Recife, Northeastern Brazil in 2009. Individuals were selected by systematic random sampling and household data were collected. Demographic, socio-economic, lifestyle factors including nutrition practices and health variables were evaluated. Medication use was the independent variable. Univariate and multivariate statistical analysis were performed. RESULTS:The prevalence of medication use was 85.5%. Polypharmacy (> 5 drugs) occurred in 11% of cases. Of the 951 drugs reported, 98.2% were prescribed by doctors and 21.6% were considered unsafe for the elderly. The most commonly prescribed groups were: cardiovascular drugs (42.9%), central nervous system agents (20.2%) and drugs with an effect on the digestive tract and metabolism (17.3%). The use of polypharmacy was associated with education (p = 0.008), self-reported health (p = 0.012), self-reported chronic disease (p = 0.000) and the number of doctor appointments per year (0.000). CONCLUSIONS:The results of this study indicate a high proportion of medication use among the elderly, including of those considered unsuitable, and inequality among groups of elderly individuals regarding the use ofmedication, when education, number of doctor appointments and self-reported health are considered .

“…(MATSUDO et al, 2000;JANSSEN, 2009). Em relação à composição corporal, ocorre uma perda acentuada de massa muscular (FRONTERA et al, 2000;JANSSEN et al, 2000) e uma redistribuição de gordura da periferia para a região abdominal, contribuindo para um aumento da gordura corporal (ZAMBONI et al 1997;CAMPOS et al, 2000). Sendo assim, uma alimentação saudável, diversificada, rica em nutrientes essenciais torna-se de suma importância nessa fase da vida, seja para prevenção de doenças ou para manutenção da saúde.…”

Resumo O aumento da longevidade nas populações representa desafios importantes para a sociedade. O estilo de vida inadequado pode contribuir para que doenças se manifestem cada vez mais cedo, mas, por outro lado, o estilo de vida saudável pode ser o início da manutenção da saúde e prevenção de doenças. Acredita-se que atividade física regular, alimentação equilibrada e variada, boas relações sociais, assim como manutenção de comportamentos preventivos e controle de estresse sejam importantes para manter um estilo de vida saudável e equilibrado. Assim, esse trabalho teve como objetivo analisar o perfil do estilo de vida de praticantes de atividades físicas em Academias da Terceira Idade (ATI) da cidade de Maringá. Foram selecionados 45 indivíduos praticantes de atividades físicas na ATI de Maringá-PR. Como instrumento de medida foi utilizado o Pentáculo do Bem-estar, em que componentes como Nutrição (N), Atividade Física (AF), Comportamento Preventivo (CP), Relacionamento Social (RS) e Controle do estresse (CS) são parâmetros para diagnosticar o perfil do estilo de vida. A escala utilizada para análise dos dados indica como valores de: 0 a 1 = insuficiente (estilo de vida inadequado); 1 a 2 = regular; 2 a 3 = adequado (estilo de vida saudável). Os resultados, em média, foram: N = 1,80; AF = 2,06; CP = 2,48; RS = 2,05 e CS = 2,11. Nota-se que o perfil do estilo de vida pode ser considerado moderado à positivo e, somente no componente nutrição o resultado foi considerado insatisfatório. Assim, espera-se que a atuação do profissional de Educação Física possa proporcionar consciência aos usuários, da necessidade de se ter hábitos saudáveis de vida.

LIFESTYLE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES PRACTITIONERS IN THIRD AGE GYMS OF MARINGÁ -PR João Victor Del Conti Esteves Leonardo Vidal Andreato Solange Marta Franzói de Moraes Alessandra Regina Carnelozzi Prati AbstractThe increase in longevity in populations represents important challenges to society. The lifestyle inadequate can contribute to diseases to unfold increasingly early, but, on the other hand, the healthy lifestyle can be the beginning of health maintenance and disease prevention. It is believed that regular physical activity, balanced and varied diet, good social relations, as well as the preventive behaviors maintenance and stress management are important to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

“…In this context, education, home life, access to food (food security or financial and operational autonomy in terms of the acquisition, transport and preparation of food) and the pleasure associated with food consumption also require attention. 7,26 It is important to stress that understanding nourishment practices goes beyond merely assessing consumption. Questions of a sociocultural nature, such as life history, preferences and aversions, culinary traditions, taboos and beliefs, the industrialization and marketing of processed foods (a more recent phenomenon), eating out, as well as the value given to functional foods, all represent new elements in this complex network.…”

The majority of the public health problems in Brazil are related to nutritional status. Population aging is a reality and presents great challenges, especially for the health sector. Since nutrition plays a role in modulating the aging process, in the etiology of diseases and in the functional declines associated with aging, evaluation and nutritional monitoring of the elderly are necessary for proper care and planning of health promotion strategies. In this context, the present study aimed to reflect on the monitoring methods and proposed indicators of nutritional assessment of the elderly. It presents a summary of Ministry of Health recommendations which guide the care and nutritional assessment provided to the elderly by the National Health Service (SUS). The recommended procedures for the diagnosis and monitoring of the nutritional status of the elderly, though suggesting an increasing importance of monitoring food consumption indicators, end up emphasizing the use of anthropometric measures, especially the body mass index. The incorporation of other indicators in monitoring the elderly demonstrates progress in the recognition of the fundamental issues that need to be incorporated into professional practice and routine primary care. However, these indicators must be used by the professional as part of a critical, team-based approach, it being understood that no single indicator will meet the needs of all the elements of nutritional assessment, especially when it comes to the elderly.
