“…Experts estimate that this figure will rise to 16.6% by 2030. 2,3 As people age, they commonly experience changes in cognitive, memory, and attention abilities, which can lead to difficulties in daily activities and managing complex tasks. Memory decline is a significant cognitive change in older adults, making it challenging to remember important information.…”

Elderly people are exposed to functional losses, which can either be natural transformations (senescence), or pathological (senility). Cognitive screening tests identify cognitive impairment and risk of developing dementia. This article aims to assess the effectiveness of three cognitive screening instruments in detecting cognitive impairment in elderly individuals with limited education. The study involved 920 individuals over the age of 60, who were recruited from driver's license centers in various Brazilian states. Participants were assessed using the cognitive screening tools: Battery Routes of Attention (BRA), to attentional capacity; Nonverbal General Intelligence Matrices (MIG), to non-verbal intelligence; and Visual Recognition Memory Test (Memore), to short-term memory.The study examined the correlation between the total scores on tests and the participants' profile (mean=69.10 and SD=6.54), according to sex, age, age group, education level, and state of Brazil. The analysis found a positive correlation between the total scores of the cognitive tests and the level of education of the participants, with higher levels of education serving as a protective factor for cognition. There was moderate correlation between visual recognition memory and sex, indicating better mnemonic performances for female participants. Age was found to have a negative correlation with all cognitive screening tests. The use of cognitive screening batteries can provide relevant indicators to plan appropriate interventions with elderly people. Furthermore, these test results emphasize the significance of further research to enhance the credibility of cognitive screening tests and broaden their applicability to elderly populations with diverse cultural backgrounds.

“…O envelhecimento humano e o aumento da longevidade, demonstra um crescimento da população idosa mundial, com o número de pessoas com 65 anos ou mais quase duplicando até 2050, passando de 703 milhões para 1,5 bilhão, um aumento de 9% para 16% (World Health Organization, 2023). Especialmente na população feminina observa-se uma maior longevidade, um fenômeno mundial também observado no Brasil, na qual evidencia-se que as mulheres vivem mais do que homens (Bomfim;Camargos, 2021;Guimarães;Drumond Andrade, 2020;IBGE, 2020).…”

Objective: To identify the factors associated with functional performance, as well as to compare anthropometric, metabolic and inflammatory parameters according to the functional performance of elderly women in primary health care. Method: Two hundred and four elderly women (68.36 ±6.18 years) took part. Functional performance was considered impaired when the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test result was >12.47 seconds. Results: 116 elderly women had impaired functional performance (56.86%). They were older, had higher BMI, WC, WHtR, %BF and IL-6, worse cognitive performance and lower muscle strength (MS). Initially, age >70 years, FM <20Kg, WHtR ≥57cm, and IL-6 ≥18pg/mL were associated with impaired functional performance (OR=1.977; 95%CI=1.095-3.570; OR=2.935; 95%CI=2.663-5.274; OR=2.455; 95%CI=1.093-5.511; OR=2.663; 95%CI=1.503-4.718). In the logistic regression, IL-6 ≥18pg/mL and FM<20Kg remained associated with impaired functional performance (OR=2.540; 95%CI=1.383-4.665; OR=2.479; 95%CI=1.341-4.582). Conclusion: FM and inflammatory parameters should be considered in the context of the functional performance of elderly women in primary health care.

“…Esaas mudanças nas proporções etárias, sobretudo o envelhecimento populacional, se devem à alguns fatores, como as taxas de natalidade com sucessivas quedas, fato mais presente em áreas urbanas. Em decorrência desta diminuição observa-se um novo cenário, caracterizado pelo aumento do número de pessoas idosas no país (Bomfim;Camargos, 2021;Escorsim, 2021).…”

Purpose: To analyze the prevalence and factors related to dynapenia in elderly women treated in primary health care, as well as compare anthropometric, metabolic and inflammatory parameters according to the determination of dynapenia. Methodology: A cross-sectional, quantitative study was carried out with elderly women at a Basic Health Unit in the Federal District. Sampling was carried out by convenience. Dynapenia was determined as a handgrip strength of less than 20 kilograms. Results: The elderly women had a mean age of 68.4 (± 6.2 years). Of the 200 elderly women studied, 113 had dynapenia (56.5%). Those with dynapenia had a higher age (P= 0.003), Il-6 (P=0.049) and time to perform the TUG (P< 0.001), lower MMSE score (P= 0.019) and lower HRF (P= <0.001) than those without dynapenia. No significant differences were observed for the metabolic variables (P> 0.05). Conclusion: The study found a prevalence of dynapenia in 56.5% of the elderly women. No differences were observed in the metabolic pattern among the elderly women. Finally, impaired functional performance remained associated with a greater chance of the elderly presenting dynapenia.
