“…The difference in the intervention time may explain, therefore, that no differences were found in the TUG results in this study. Additionally, this sample was composed of "younger" elderly individuals, younger than those in the study of Trombetti et al (2011), with mean TUG times below 12.4 seconds, i.e., outside the risk assessment (Wamser et al, 2015).…”

Music has been debated as a positive factor for the health of elderly people. In a randomized study, the researchers compared an intervention based on percussion and musical improvisation with a choir activity. The objective was to investigate whether improvisation would influence the executive functioning and motor skills of healthy elderly people. A set of instruments for psychological and motor assessment was used before and after the procedure. Differences were found in the performance of the participants of the improvisation group in the Clock Drawing Test suggesting possible gains in executive function. There were gains, regardless of the group, in part A of the Trail Making Test, which indicates a sustained attention. No evidence of motor effects was found in this study. The results suggest that musical activities can contribute to the prevention of cognitive decline caused by aging.

“…The process of senescence is considered dynamic, gradual and full of physical and psychosocial modifications. These changes eventually contribute to the vulnerability of the elderly, making them more susceptible to certain health problems, as well as to the emergence of diseases (Wamser et al, 2015). The inherent losses of aging lead to feelings of anxiety, fear, sadness, irritation and the urgency of adapting to a new lifestyle (dos Santos, Ribeiro, de Oliveira Barbosa Rosa, & de Cassia Lanes Ribeiro, 2015).…”

The purpose of this study was to understand the correlation between the elderly with depressive symptomatology and the predictors of the risk of violence against them. The method used was a quantitative approach using the Statistical Package program for Social Sciences. There was a participation of 237 elderly people aged 65-96 years, of the project “Aging in Safety in Alentejo-Understanding to Act”, at the University of Évora. The Geriatric Depression Scale and the Predictors of Risk of Violence (an adaptation of the Elder Abuse and Neglect-Risk Assessment Tool and Vulnerability to Abuse Screening Scale) were applied. About the results, 50 elderly (21.1%) had mild depressive symptomatology, and 14 (5.9%) had severe depressive symptomatology. Of the 64 elderly individuals who presented depressive symptomatology 55 were female. In the relationship between the severity of depressive symptomatology and predictors of risk of violence, significant results were found in three dimensions: current supports and relationships, family context and cognitive/emotional difficulties. The main conclusion of the study is that factors like no social support networks, complex family context and cognitive and emotional changes, contribute to greater physical and mental vulnerability of the elderly, resulting in cases of anxiety and stress, which present a depressive symptomatology and the risk of violence.

“…, often by inference, because it is known that the worse the health status, the greater the negative impact on mobility, the ability to perform a submemal task and the independence of the elderly. 13,14 Usually for the execution of functional tests, muscle groups essential for body weight support are recruited, such as trunk and lower limb stabilizing muscles 10,11,12 , the performance is due to the ability to generate strength in a given test time (slow contraction fibers, type I), while the HGS assesses the peak muscle strength of upper groups (fast contraction fibers -type II) , more resistant to fatigue. 11,12 In general, functional performance tests involve tasks that require postural transfer, mobility and displacement.…”

Objective: To analyze an association between handgrip strength (HGS) and functional performance tests by healthy, non-institutionalized elderly. Method: This is a cross-sectional study. A sample consisted of 36 elderly people (66.69 years), all of whom responded to a cognitive assessment instrument and another to assess the level of physical activity, in addition to sociodemographic data and health conditions. The HGS was measured using the hydraulic dynamometer JAMAR and performed the six-minute walk test (6MWT) and the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) to assess the cardiorespiratory capacity submitted during displacement and body mobility. Results: It was possible to verify through the Pearson coefficient the weak and significant association between the MPH and the variables 6MWT (p≤0.05) and TUG (p = 0.027). Conclusion: For samples of healthy elderly and applied experimental conditions, the FPM is related to performance tests. Thus, it is believed that the evaluation of the HGS may be an alternative to interference in this population. Keywords: Aged. Muscle strength. Muscle strength dynamometer. Physical functional performance. Walk test.
