“…A greater proportion of participants with type 2 DM had a diagnosis of osteoarthritis of at least 1 joint (16 out of 30 [53.3%] versus 5 out of 30 [16.7%]; P ϭ 0.008) (data not shown). Women with type 2 DM had a higher mean BMI (P Ͻ 0.001) and fewer of these participants completed the TUG test in under 12 seconds, a normal cutoff point for community-dwelling adults (P ϭ 0.011) (28). The serum biochemistry and antihyperglycemic medications used for participants with type 2 DM are summarized in Table 4.…”

Objective. Adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) have an elevated fracture risk despite normal areal bone mineral density (aBMD). The study objective was to compare trabecular bone microarchitecture of postmenopausal women with type 2 DM and women without type 2 DM.Methods. An extremity 1T magnetic resonance imaging system was used to acquire axial images (195 ؋ 195 ؋ 1,000 m 3 voxel size) of the distal radius of women recruited from outpatient clinics or by community advertisement. Image segmentation yielded geometric, topologic, and stereologic outcomes, i.e., number and size of trabecular bone network holes (marrow spaces), endosteal area, trabecular bone volume fraction, nodal and branch density, and apparent trabecular thickness, separation, and number. Lumbar spine (LS) and proximal femur BMD were measured with dual x-ray absorptiometry. Microarchitectural differences were assessed using linear regression and adjusted for percent body fat, ethnicity, timed up-and-go test, Charlson Index, and calcium and vitamin D intake; aBMD differences were adjusted for body mass index (BMI). Results. Women with type 2 DM (n ‫؍‬ 30, mean ؎ SD age 71.0 ؎ 4.8 years) had larger holes (؉13.3%; P ‫؍‬ 0.001) within the trabecular bone network than women without type 2 DM (n ‫؍‬ 30, mean ؎ SD age 70.7 ؎ 4.9 years). LS aBMD was greater in women with type 2 DM; however, after adjustment for BMI, LS aBMD did not differ between groups. Conclusion. In women with type 2 DM, the average hole size within the trabecular bone network at the distal radius is greater compared to controls. This may explain the elevated fracture risk in this population.

“…In contrast an increase in other angular velocity measures was associated with a reduced likelihood of declining balance. This finding was anticipated as it is reported that a shorter TUG time is associated with more positive health outcomes [9,10]. The current study also investigated the relationship between variance and the change in variance over time for gait parameters, and change in balance over time.…”

“…The TUG is quick, easy to administer and has been shown to have some predictive power for falls and mobility impairment [9,10]. Additionally, the application of wireless inertial sensors to the lower limbs during the TUG allows measurements such as cadence, stance phase duration and angular velocity to be recorded [11,12].…”

RESUMOO objetivo do estudo foi analisar a correlação entre instrumentos utilizados à avaliação do equilíbrio corporal e a predição do risco de quedas de idosos ativos. Estudo transversal, observacional, realizado com 41 mulheres (69,24±5,24 anos) praticantes de exercícios físicos, em Petrolina-PE. Os instrumentos utilizados foram a Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg (EEB), o Índice de Marcha Dinâmica (DGI), o "Timed Up and Go" simples (TUG), o "Timed Up and Go" motor (TUGm), o "Timed Up and Go" cognitivo (TUGc) e o Teste de Equilíbrio Corporal (TEC). Foi observada correlação significativa entre TEC-DGI (r=0,469; p=0,032), EEB-DGI (r= 0,513; p=0,021), correlação significativa negativa entre DGI-TUG (r= -0,454; p˂0,017), DGI-TUGm (r= -0,516; p˂0,006), DGI-TUGc (r= -0,547; p˂0,003), MEEM-TUG (r= -,470; p=0,055), MEEM-TUGm (r= -,470; p=0,057) e correlação significativa e moderada entre TUG-TUGm (r=0,701; p=0,000), TUG-TUGc (r=0,713; <0,000) e TUGm-TUGc (r=0,761; <0,000). Conclui-se que os instrumentos são complementares. Recomenda-se sua aplicação conjunta à avaliação do equilíbrio corporal e à predição do risco de quedas em idosos ativos.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between the instruments used to assess body balance and prediction of the risk of falls of active seniors. Cross-sectional, observational study involving 41 women (69.24 ± 5.24 years) practitioners of physical exercises, in Petrolina-PE. The instruments used were the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI), the "Timed Up and Go" simple (TUG), the "Timed Up and Go" motor (TUGm), the "Timed up and Go "cognitive (TUGc) and Body Balance Test (CET). Significant correlation was observed between TEC-DGI (r = 0.469; p = 0.032), BSE-DGI (r = 0.513; p = 0.021), a significant negative correlation between DGI-TUG (r = -0.454; ˂0,017), DGI -TUGm (r = -0.516; p˂0,006), DGI-TUGc (r = -0.547; ˂0,003), MMSE-TUG (r = -, 470; p = 0.055), MMSE-TUGm (r = -470; p = 0.057) and a significant and moderate correlation between TUG-TUGm (r = 0.701; p = 0.000), TUG-TUGc (r = 0.713; p = 0.000) and TUGm-TUGc (r = 0.761; p = 0.000). It is concluded that the instruments are complementary. It is recommended their joint application to the evaluation of the body balance and to predict the risk of falls in elderly active.

IntroduçãoÀ medida que o indivíduo envelhece, ele se depara com uma série de alterações de ordem biopsicossocial e cultural, as quais dificultarão sua adaptação ao meio em que vive 1,2 . Entre essas, após os 45 anos de idade, há o declínio natural de sua habilidade para controlar a postura corporal, o que é denominado como equilíbrio 3 . O estudo de temáticas do equilíbrio é relevante, principalmente, junto à população idosa, visto que seu déficit deixa a pessoa mais suscetível à quedas e fraturas, que podem conduzir o indivíduo, até mesmo à morte prematura 4 .Quedas têm consequências graves, pois influenciam...
