“…Os idosos do nosso estudo apresentaram déficit abaixo do esperado nas duas partes do trail making test (A-B) com 85,6% e 81,6% respectivamente, os valores de referencia por faixa etária utilizada seguiram os dados normativos de Tombaugh 29 . Isso pode estar relacionado ao fato de que a falta de atenção agrava com o envelhecimento 30 . Outro estudo também constatou piora no desempenho em testes de função executiva com o avançar da idade 31 .…”

RESUMO Cognitive aspects and physical activity level among older adults ABSTRACTObjective: To investigate the cognitive and physical activity for older adults. Method: Cross-sectional study conducted with 125 elderly participants of motor and cognitive interventions in the Center for the Elderly -São José / SC. For this study the following instruments were applied: a) General Information b) Socioeconomic Status (ABEP); c) Perceived health; d) International Physical Activity Questionnaire; e) Geriatric Depression Scale; f) Mini-mental State Examination; g) Test traits; h) Test the clock. Results: 70% of subjects were classified as sufficiently active (active / very active). In the Trail Making Test A (85,1%) and B (81,6%) and the clock drawing test (76%) showed low performance, featuring cognitive impairment. MMSE 53.6% had impaired (mild / moderate / severe) and 46.4% without commitment, being mild impairment the most frequent (45.6%), especially for the elderly in the age group of 70-79 years (p = 0.047). In relation to 74.4% depression showed no suspicion of depression. Conclusion: Most elderly do not present indicative of depression, being sufficiently active, with low cognitive performance (attention deficit and executive functions), and impaired mental state Descriptors: Cognition; Physical Activity; Elderly.

“…As age increases, there is a decrease in attention level due to natural aging of the brain, especially in the prefrontal cortex, which is the main area responsible for the attentional process (Custódio, Malaquias Júnior, & Voos, 2010). Thus, one may infer that, as age increases, the sustained attention level declines even in healthy older people.…”

The sample was composed of 211 adults, 60 years of age or older, who were not institutionalized, and who completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Mini Mental State Examination, the Geriatric Depression Scale (short form), and the d2 Test. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, partial correlations, multiple linear regression and one-way ANOVA.The results of partial correlations and multiple linear regression showed that age and years of schooling demonstrated significant associations with all d2 Test scores, with age being the predictive variable that showed the greatest influence on the performance of the older adults. Comparison of performance in the d2 Test among the six groups according to the distribution by age group (60-69 years and 70 years or more) and by levels of schooling (primary, secondary and higher) showed that younger adults with a higher level of schooling scored better on the d2 Test, suggesting the need for normative data studies for this population. Edad y escolaridad son preditoras de rendimiento de adultos mayores en la Test d2? ResumenEl objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la asociación de la edad y la escolaridad con el rendimiento de ancianos cognitivamente preservados en el Test de Atención Sostenida d2, y comparar los resultados de diferentes grupos etarios y de niveles de escolaridad en ese instrumento. La muestra fue compuesta por 211 adultos con edad igual o superior a 60 años, no institucionalizados, que respondieron a una ficha de datos sociodemográficos, al Mini Examen del Estado Mental, a la Escala de Depresión Geriátrica (versión reducida), y al Test d2. El análisis de los datos fue conducido por medio de estadística descriptiva, correlaciones parciales, regresión lineal múltiple y ANOVA de una vía (one-way ANOVA). Los resultados de las correlaciones parciales y de la regresión lineal múltiple revelaron que la edad y los años de escolaridad demostraron asociaciones significativas con todos las puntuaciones del Test d2, siendo la edad la variable predictora que demostró mayor influencia en el rendimiento de los adultos mayores. La comparación de desempeño en el Test d2 entre los seis grupos según distribución por grupo de edad (60-69 años y 70 años o más) y por niveles de escolaridad (fundamental, media y superior) demostró que los ancianos más jóvenes y con mayor nivel de escolaridad presentan mejores puntuaciones en el Test d2, sugiriendo la necesidad de es...

“…Studies have shown that there is a relationship between the education of elderly persons and falls, or in other words, the higher the level of education, the lower the risk of falling, as more educated older people tend to seek information on, for example, how to achieve a good quality of life in old age. 33,34 In summary, this study was notable due to its easy reproducibility and low cost, although it was limited by its focus on the elderly population who retained mobility without the use of walking aids. It is also likely that the low statistical significance observed for some results was due to the short assessment period proposed.…”

Introduction: During aging there is a close relationship between visual deficits, imbalance and falls, and eye surgery can be an efficient treatment option for elderly persons. Objective: Evaluate the influence of visual conditions on patients suffering from senile cataract with increasing imbalance. Method: A descriptive and analytical study using a quantitative longitudinal cohort technique was conducted. The study included 30 individuals who were evaluated before and 30 and 60 days after surgery. The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), International Falls Efficacy Scale adapted for Brazil (FES-I) and a medical history questionnaire were used to collect data. Statistical analysis involved the Chi-squared, Student's t and Mann-Whitney tests. Values of p<0.05 were considered significant. Results: The SPPB found that of 15 elderly women, 13 (87%) achieved moderate performance of the lower limbs while the performance of two (13%) remained poor, after 60 postoperative days. The FES-I revealed that three (20%) elderly persons were mildly worried about falls 60 days post-surgery. Of the 15 elderly male subjects evaluated by BBS, before and at 30 and 60 days after surgery, one (7%), managed to maintain some balance but needed assistance; while 14 (93%) maintained good balance. The SPPB found that the performance of five elderly persons (33%) was moderate and that of nine (67%) was good. Conclusion: Senile cataract surgery had positive preventative effects on lower limb performance, balance and fear of falling among the elderly studied, preventing the falls and fractures that are common during aging.
