“…Several physical and body composition abnormalities associated with the aging process affect the collection and analysis of anthropometric measurements, including: reductions in height; postural or mobility problems; the presence of edema or dehydration; reductions in muscle mass and bone density; the increase and redistribution of body fat; a loss of skin elasticity and compressibility. 11,12 Alterations are part of the physiological process of human aging. However, at a given time, and in accordance with the medical history of the individual, these alterations could be correlated with significant deteriorations in the health of the individual, 11,12 as shown in Figure 1.…”

However, at a given time, and in accordance with the medical history of the individual, these alterations could be correlated with significant deteriorations in the health of the individual, 11,12 as shown in Figure 1.

“…12 Aging is correlated with a reduction in height due to the curvature of the spine, which in turn is caused by the flattening of the intervertebral discs and other alterations, including: osteoporosis; dorsal kyphosis; scoliosis; the loss of muscle tone; arching of the lower limbs and/ or the flattening of the plantar arch. 11 There is currently no consensus concerning the reduction of height value with age, although it would seem to be 0.5 to 2 cm/decade after 60 years for men and women, which is accentuated at more advanced ages. 13 In accentuated postural situations that hinder height measurements, or when it is impossible to record (bed-ridden individuals and wheelchair users) the height of an individual, the "knee height" measurement is recommended as a method of estimating this value.…”

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.

Epidemiology of multiple myeloma in 17 Latin American countries: an update

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The objective of this study was to describe incidence, mortality rates, and trends for multiple myeloma (MM) in Latin America (LA), contributing to better knowledge on the epidemiology of MM in this continent. Incidence data were extracted from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), for the period 1990–2007. Mortality data were obtained for 17 countries from the World Health Organization, for the period 1995–2013. Annual average percentage change (AAPC) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated for incidence and mortality. The average incidence rate of MM was higher in Cali (Colombia). For the age‐group over 60 years old, rates were 14.2 and 12.8 per 100,000 inhabitants for men and women, respectively. Increasing incidence trends were verified for Cali (Colombia). Mortality rates were higher among men; most countries presented increasing trends, and the highest increments were observed in Guatemala (12.5% [95% CI: 10.6; 14.5] in men; 8.8% [95% CI: 7.8; 9.8] in women), Ecuador (5.5% [95% CI: 5.0; 6.0] in men; 3.7 [95% CI: 3.1; 4.3] in women), Paraguay (2.9% [95% CI: 2.3; 3.5] in men; 3.2% [95% CI: 2.1; 4.3] in women), and Brazil (1.4% [95% CI: 1.3; 1.5] in men; 0.9% [95% CI: 0.8; 1.0] in women). Multiple myeloma presented heterogeneous incidence patterns in Cali (Colombia), Quito (Ecuador), and Costa Rica. Increasing mortality trends were verified for most Latin American countries and could be related to limited access to diagnosis and new therapies.
