“…Based on the results in Table 5, it was possible to identify some of the factors that had the most influence on the RF algorithm's outcome regarding respondents' satisfaction with democracy. In this case, it was found that economic factors carry significant weight in the decision, followed by trust in the government, age, and political stance, which aligns with the research by Resende and Epitácio (2014). Their study suggests that a country's economic situation influences individual perceptions of satisfaction with democracy, along with public policies and their effective implementation.…”

Purpose – This article compared machine learning algorithms in the context of satisfaction with democracy in Brazil. The models were trained with data from the Latinobarómetro survey, a private non-profit institution. Theoretical foundation – The Support Vector Classifier (SVC), Random Forest (RF), and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) classification techniques were described, followed by evaluation metrics, such as accuracy, precision, recall, f1-score and the area under a receiver operating characteristic (auc-roc). Methodology – The data set was cleaned and the questionnaire was reduced to variables related to the local democracy index (IDL). Then, attribute transformations were performed, hyperparameters were analyzed and subsets with different class balances were created to evaluate the performance of the classifiers in different scenarios. Also, the attributes that most contributed to satisfaction with democracy were analyzed. Results – The best classifier was RF for the class of those dissatisfied with democracy, however, the ANN and SVC techniques obtained better results in the class of satisfied individuals. Evaluating the most important attributes for satisfaction with democracy, it was identified that they are related to the country's economic situation and political and governmental issues. Research implications – The models created were mainly able to identify people dissatisfied with democracy. The most important variables in this context were economy performance, government, political positioning, and democracy. This indicates directions for future studies and enables the development of strategies to change the perception of dissatisfied individuals. Originality/Value – Exploring data on democracy from the Latinobarómetro using machine learning techniques in the context of Brazil. Keywords: Machine learning; Democracy; Classification; Satisfaction.

“…Assim, o grupo 3 é favorecido com o NAF, o domínio das relações sociais e a questão sobre tratamento médico, isto pode ser considerado um indicativo que o exercício físico está interferindo positivamente na qualidade de vida e na saúde dessas.SegundoDatan et al (1987), as relações sociais entre as mulheres são qualitativamente superiores às dos homens, pois elas têm mais habilidades interpessoais, são mais calorosas do ponto de vista relacional e capazes de estabelecer relações de intimidade social.Quando verificamos quais facetas estruturam esse domínio, vemos que elas abordam esses aspectos citados, pois envolvem as relações com amigos e parentes, a vida sexual e o apoio recebido de amigos. Essas questões são valorizadas por indivíduos mais velhos e do sexo feminino que mantêm uma rede de amigos(NERI, 2004) Resende et al, (2006),. relatam que pessoas que possuem uma maior rede social são mais satisfeitas com a vida e obtêm maior suporte social.…”

The body functionality and autonomy are essentials factors because to the performance of daily activities of the elderly. The health care involving the body composition, physical activity and quality of life value healthy aging. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship of these variables between adults and elderly and develop strategies that promote health. The research subjects were adults practicing indoor bike and aqua gym in Campinas and extension projects of the Faculty of Physical Education, State University of Campinas and elderly physically active at the University of the Third Age, State University of Sao Paulo in Piracicaba. Nutritional status was assessed from measurements of body weight, height and calculated body mass index. The body composition was assessed by tetrapolar bioimpedance. The perception of quality of life assessed using the WHOQOL-bref. The level of physical activity by IPAQ short version instrument. The socioeconomic status collected through a questionnaire. The data were processed using the software SAS, SPSS and Bioestat. For the analysis the 132 volunteers were classified into three age groups, respecting the age groups 40-52 years Group 1 (n = 45) -53 to 66 years Group 2 (n = 43) -67-80 years, Group 3 (n = 44) -. There were significant differences between groups for body fat (between Groups 1 and 2 and between Groups 1 and 3) fat-free mass (between Groups 1 and 3 and between Groups 2 and 3) the field of social relations (between Groups 1 and 3) the fourth facet (between Groups 1 and 3) 8 facet (among Groups 2 and 3); facet 10 (between Groups 1 and 2) and facet 11 (between Groups 1 and 2). The study concluded that the aging causes a significant reduction in the amount of body mass and that this is related to the fat free mass. The control of these measures during the aging process, is need because the loss of FFM, particularly muscle mass, is directly related to the dependence of the elderly and it is significantly higher after the seventy years of age. The quality of life showed changes during the aging process, suggesting that older women who exercise have better quality of life as to the field of social relationships that the younger.
