“…(20) A associação do declínio cognitivo e a ocorrência de quedas corrobora com estudo transversal brasileiro, demonstrando que o comprometimento cognitivo pode influenciar na ocorrência de quedas recorrentes em idosos. (21) É sabido que o declínio cognitivo se associa à limitação nas atividades de vida diária, em que idosos dependentes nestas atividades apresentam cinco vezes maior chance de déficit cognitivo.

Conflitos de interesse: nada a declarar. ResumoObjetivo: Analisar o risco de quedas e sua relação com a síndrome da fragilidade e variáveis sociodemográficas em idosos.Métodos: Estudo transversal, analítico e multicêntrico, desenvolvido em dois hospitais universitários, no período de agosto de 2019 a janeiro de 2020, com 323 idosos, utilizando o Brazil Old Age Schedule (BOAS) para caracterização sociodemográfica, a Morse Fall Scale (MFS) para definição do risco de quedas e a Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) para identificação da síndrome da fragilidade. Os dados foram analisados por estatística descritiva e inferencial.Resultados: Houve associação entre o risco de quedas e idosos com idade acima de 70 anos, com mais de quatro doenças preexistentes, sem atividade laboral, com déficit cognitivo, estado geral de saúde ruim, com dependência funcional em cinco a oito atividades, fazendo uso de cinco ou mais medicamentos, com perda de peso, baixo desempenho funcional, humor triste ou deprimido e com a síndrome da fragilidade instalada. Idosos que moram sozinhos, com idade acima de 70 anos, que têm quatro ou mais doenças prévias, com dependência funcional, humor deprimido, que realizam o teste Timed Up and Go (TUG) em um tempo maior que 20 segundos, que utilizam cinco ou mais medicamentos por dia e que esquecem de utilizar esses fármacos têm mais chances para o risco de quedas.Conclusão: Fatores relacionados ao declínio de funções físicas, psicológicas e mentais nos idosos, e que se encontram exacerbados na síndrome da fragilidade, aumentam o risco para a ocorrência de quedas nessa população.

“…The most important medical and socio-demographic problem worldwide is the aging of the global population, as it causes various health problems in the elderly [7]. Cognitive impairment and falls are one of the major health problems [7][8][9][10]. Conversely, physical activity and exercise are well-recognized as one of the most effective lifestyle modifications to counteract brain and muscle aging [9][10][11].…”

Judo is a well-known Japanese martial art that also features in Olympic games. Recently, an increasing interest has been observed in the application of judo as a multicomponent exercise, with a growing body of evidence showing that this feature improves physical and cognitive performance in older adults. Therefore, this review highlights the benefits of judo training in preventing physical and cognitive decline in older adults. Specifically, first, this review outlines the basic characteristics of judo (philosophy, match, and training). Subsequently, prior research examining the impacts of judo training on the physical and cognitive aspects of elderly individuals is reviewed. Thereafter, the brain mechanisms underlying the effects of judo training in improving physical and cognitive performance are discussed. Throughout this review, judo training demonstrated some positive effects on physical (gait and balance, among others) and cognitive (memory and executive function) function in older adults. These positive effects are attributed to a variety of changes in the brain (e.g., increased neurotrophic factor expression and increased cerebral blood flow, among others) that affect different brain regions and networks both functionally and structurally. From these findings, this review concludes that judo training can be an effective way to maintain and prevent physical and cognitive decline in older adults.

Models of healthy aging are typically based on the United States and Europe and may not apply to diverse and heterogeneous populations. In this study, our objectives were to conduct a meta-analysis to assess risk factors of cognition and functional ability across aging populations in Latin America and a scoping review focusing on methodological procedures. Our study design included randomized controlled trials and cohort, case–control and cross-sectional studies using multiple databases, including MEDLINE, the Virtual Health Library and Web of Science. From an initial pool of 455 studies, our meta-analysis included 38 final studies (28 assessing cognition and 10 assessing functional ability, n = 146,000 participants). Our results revealed significant but heterogeneous effects for cognition (odds ratio (OR) = 1.20, P = 0.03, confidence interval (CI) = (1.0127, 1.42); heterogeneity: I2 = 92.1%, CI = (89.8%, 94%)) and functional ability (OR = 1.20, P = 0.01, CI = (1.04, 1.39); I2 = 93.1%, CI = (89.3%, 95.5%)). Specific risk factors had limited effects, especially on functional ability, with moderate impacts for demographics and mental health and marginal effects for health status and social determinants of health. Methodological issues, such as outliers, inter-country differences and publication bias, influenced the results. Overall, we highlight the specific profile of risk factors associated with healthy aging in Latin America. The heterogeneity in results and methodological approaches in studying healthy aging call for greater harmonization and further regional research to understand healthy aging in Latin America.
