“…The results found differ from other studies, such as Closs et al 17 , which showed that knee height may be a reliable alternative measure in the nutritional assessment of older adults. Using sample composed of 186 individuals (74.3 ± 7.1 years), the author found positive correlation between measured height and height estimated by Chumlea's equation, although the predicted result overestimated the actual measurement by 3 cm.…”

To investigate the cross-validity of two equations widely used in national research to predict body mass and height in older Brazilians. Additionally, the importance of possible differences between observed and predicted BMI will be investigated with the help of equations. BM and HEI were measured using mechanical scales and portable stadiometers in a sample of 200 older women (66.6 ± 5.43 years) living in Maceió / AL - Brazil. To verify the validity of equations, the following variables were used: Student's t-test, constant error (CE), total error (TE) and standard error of estimation (SEE). To verify agreement between actual and predicted values, the Bland-Altman test was used. The comparison between BM and HEI values obtained through equations and those verified in measurements showed statistically significant differences (p <0.05). CE between predicted and measured values, TE of tested equations, as well as SEE for the prediction of variables: BM (1.66; 0.11 and 6.33), HEI (-0.02; 0.02 and 0.10) and BMI (1.47; 0.10 and 3.24) allowed determining relative values very close to actual ones (2.6%, 1.31% and 5.3% for BM, HEI and BMI respectively); however, values were not statistically significant. The equations analyzed should not be used in a general way for the population of older Brazilian women with characteristics similar to those analyzed in this study. Therefore, further studies should be carried out with the objective of constructing specific equations for the population of older women and hospitalized patients, especially the most fragile ones.

“…The present study evaluated elderly attending CRASI/UFF nutrition clinic. The higher proportion of women has already been described in other studies and can be explained by differences in mortality between the sexes, where men tend to die earlier, since women have less exposure to risk factors, such as smoking and alcoholism, and seek more the health services, with a higher life expectancy 17,18 .…”

Objective: to evaluate methods of elderly height estimation attended at the Nutrition ambulatory. Method: a total of 43 elderly individuals of both genders were evaluated during nutrition consultations. Sociodemographic data were collected from charts and height, knee height, arms wingspan and semi-span were measured. Statistical analysis were made through Bland-Altman test to evaluate concordance among statures estimated by predictive formulas and the height measured. Results: the values found were: height measured in meters 1.53 (±0.08), height estimated by the wingspan 1.60 (±0.10), by the semi-span 1.61 (±0.11) and by the knee height 1.56 (±0.10). According to the Bland-Altman graph, the height estimated by knee height showed a better agreement with the measured height. Conclusion: according to this study results, poor predictive formulas concordance in height estimation in elderly, using the measures: arms wingspan and semi-span with real stature measured were observed. Knee height, using Chumlea formula, presented the best concordance with measured stature and seems to be a good way for stature estimation at the studied population.

“…Knee height was measured using an Indaiá wooden stadiometer for children, with maximum measurement of 100cm and 0.1cm precision; using the equation suggested by Chumlea 17 (method most recommended for the elderly) to estimate the height of each elderly person. 18 Information on food consumption in the last seven days was obtained by means of an abridged Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), 19 prepared according to recommendations described in the version of the Food Guide for the Brazilian Population in force at the time the study was planned (2013). 20 Questions were asked about consumption of the following food items: rice and beans; wholefoods (wholemeal bread, wholemeal biscuits, wholegrain rice or oats); vegetables and greens; fruit; meat; milk and milk products; confectionary, soft drinks and industrialized fruit juice; fried food; conserves, charcuterie and tinned food; frozen food; and fast food.…”

Objective: to analyze association between diet quality and multimorbidity among elderly individuals. Methods: this was a cross-sectional study of elderly people aged 60 years or older in Pelotas, RS, Brazil, 2014; food consumption was assessed using an abridged Food Frequency Questionnaire; diet quality according to the diet quality index (DQI-E) and scores given to food items; multimorbidity (≥5 diseases) was self-reported; Poisson Regression was used to obtain crude and adjusted prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Results: 1,426 elderly people were included; men who consumed wholefoods (1 to 6 days) were more likely to have multimorbity (PR=1.64 95%CI 1.21;2.23]); those who ate meat at least weekly were less likely to have multimorbity (PR men =0.68 95%C I0.51;0.92]; PR women =0.70 95%CI 0.61;0.81); no association was found between DQI-E and multimorbidity. Conclusion: although consumption of most foods was not associated with multimorbidity, the results have produced reflections about dietary habits that are pertinent for discussion by health service managers
