“…However, in the present research, this prevalence was distinct and related to worst physical performance, which may be explained by the debilitating characteristics of the studied group. Although the literature shows a relationship between the occurrence of falls and low visual acuity and physical activity 24,[27][28][29] , this was not observed in the two comparative analyses of the present study. These results may be explained by the limiting factors of this research, such as the low rate of active older adults, the predominance of normal or close to normal vision, the lack of details in the FIM motor tasks, as well as the indirect measures of strength, gait and balance, in spite of the satisfactory reliability obtained in the validation of the Brazilian version of the SPPB 13 .…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between sociodemographic, clinical, physical and functional data according to physical performance and number of falls among older fallers. Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out among 72 older adults (76.3 ±8.3 years) with a history of falls in the past year, 65.3% of which were women. The participants received care at the geriatric outpatient clinic of a university hospital in Campinas, SP. They were divided into the following groups: worst physical performance (WPP) and best physical performance (BPP), one-time fallers (1F) and frequent fallers (2F). Sociodemographic, clinical, physical and functional characteristics were considered as independent variables. Comparison analysis between the groups was conducted. Results: The WPP group was older and had a higher number of illnesses and less independence in most motor dimension tasks compared to the BPP group. The 2F group had a higher number of illnesses, less handgrip strength and less independence in the bowel management task in the motor dimension of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) compared to the 1F group. Conclusions:Among older adults fallers, poor physical performance is associated with more advanced age, more illnesses and less functional independence. Moreover, recurrent falls are associated with more illnesses, less muscle strength and less functional independence in the bowel management task.Key words: activities of daily living; muscle strength; musculoskeletal equilibrium; gait; exercise; aging. ResumoObjetivos: Analisar, entre idosos com ocorrência de quedas, a relação entre as variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas, físicas e funcionais segundo as variáveis critério desempenho físico e número de quedas. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 72 idosos (76,3±8,3 anos) que sofreram quedas no último ano, sendo 65,3% mulheres, atendidos no ambulatório de geriatria de um hospital universitário de Campinas, SP. Os idosos foram divididos em grupo com pior (PDF) e grupo com melhor desempenho físico (MDF), e em grupo com uma queda (1Q) e grupo com duas quedas ou mais (2Q). As características sociodemográficas, clínicas, físicas e funcionais foram as variáveis independentes do estudo. Foi realizada análise de comparação entre os grupos. Resultados: Os idosos do grupo PDF tiveram maior faixa etária, maior número de doenças e menor independência na maior parte das tarefas da dimensão motora em relação ao grupo MDF. Os idosos do grupo 2Q apresentaram maior número de doenças, menor força de preensão manual e menor independência na tarefa "controle das fezes" na dimensão motora da medida de independência funcional (MIF) em relação ao grupo 1Q. Conclusões: Entre idosos que já caíram, piores níveis de desempenho físico relacionam-se com maior faixa etária, mais doenças e menos independência funcional. Além disso, ter sofrido quedas recorrentes relaciona-se com mais doenças, menos força muscular e menos independência funcional na tarefa de controle de fezes.

“…The results showed a better performance of the practitioners of AVG in both handgrip strength and mobility, when compared to the members of other groups ( Figure 1 and Figure 2). One possible explanation for the results found would be that the volleyball group practices activities in a more directed way, with higher levels of physical activity, minimizing the declines of aging, as well as muscle strength, balance and mobility, suggesting that older adults who practice this activity have less inclination to falls 17 . The handgrip strength showed that the AVG showed greater strength than the other groups.…”

Handgrip and functional mobility in elderly with different levels of physical activity

| The proportion of elderly people is growing worldwide and, with this, there is an increase of chronicdegenerative conditions such as impaired balance and falls. The physically active elderly tends to an improved response in muscle strength, flexibility and postural balance. The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the grip strength and mobility of elderly people with different levels of physical activity. The sample consisted of 44 elderly with 60 years or more, both sexes, divided in: 18 elderly practicing volleyball adapted (AVG), 13 elderly practicing some physical activity (AG) and 13 sedentary elderly (SG). Grip strength was assessed by a hydraulic dynamometer and mobility through the test "Timed Up and Go" (TUG). Data were evaluated using the KolmogorovSmirnov test, to check normality. The comparison of the results of the three groups was performed by ANOVA with Tukey post-test, with p≤0.05. The results showed that grip strength (p=0.008) and mobility (p=0.003) were better to AVG when compared to the other groups. It is suggested that the sports practice implement the gains in functional mobility and strength when compared to purely non-specific exercise and inactivity.

“…Franchi et al [20], também estudando idosos com diabetes em São Paulo, revelou altos índices de sedentarismo (71%). Essa é uma realidade preocupante, pois dentre os benefícios provocados pela prática de exercícios físicos pelas pessoas idosas, destacam-se melhoras na capacidade funcional, equilíbrio, força, coordenação e velocidade de movimento, o que contribui para maior segurança e prevenção de quedas nessa população [23].…”

ABSTRACT AIMS: to evaluate the clinical and anthropometric profile of elderly diabetic outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on male and female elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated at the nutrition/ diabetes outpatient clinic of the Center for Senior Health (Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil). Data on gender, age, time of diagnosis of diabetes, body mass index, physical activity, and concomitant chronic non-communicable diseases were retrieved from the clinic's database and from patient files. RESULTS: A total of 244 elderly patients were assessed, 82.4% of whom were female. Mean age was 69.7±7 years, with a predominance of individuals aged between 60 and 74 years (76.2%). One hundred forty-seven patients (60.2%) had been diagnosed with diabetes for less than 5 years, 183 (75%) had systemic hypertension, 115 (47.1%) had dyslipidemia, and 129 (52.9%) lived a sedentary lifestyle. According to body mass index evaluation, 147 patients (60.2%) were overweight. By evaluating the association of demographic, clinical, and anthropometric variables and physical activity with overweight, there was a statistically significant association only with hypertension. CONCLUSIONS: Hypertension, overweight, and sedentary lifestyle were highly frequent in this sample of elderly diabetic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, there was an association between overweight and hypertension. Healthcare strategies need to be developed to stimulate lifestyle changes among elderly patients in order to prevent and control the complications related to these morbidities.
