“…This may suggest an increased care and concern for health in this elderly group. Similar findings were observed in the study by Ferreira et al 22 who analyzed cardiovascular risk factors in 418 elderly users of the Sistema Único de Saúde (the Unified Health System) and found that a minority smoked or consumed alcohol. Such bad living habits are important cardiovascular risk factors and feature in 7 of the 14 leading causes of death among the elderly, constituting a major public health problem today.…”

Objective: To evaluate central adiposity in elderly women in a gerontology-geriatric care unit of the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (the Federal University of Pernambuco). Method: A cross-sectional study involving a sample of 182 elderly women, aged from 60 to 89 years, who received care from January to July 2011, was performed. The variables analyzed were the socio-economic and demographic conditions, lifestyle, waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) of the women, as well as the occurrence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and high total cholesterol levels. Yates' chi-squared test and Fisher's exact test were applied. A significance rate of 5% was adopted for the rejection of the null hypothesis. Results: Of the elderly women surveyed 82.4% had a WC signifying a large waist size, 57.2% were over-weight, 78.3% presented hypercholesterolemia, 63.2% had hypertension and 23.6% had diabetes. 61.5% were aged between 60 and 69 years old; 56% received up to two minimum salaries; 63.5% had less than eight years of schooling, 74.7% stated that they did not smoke, 87.9% did not drink alcohol; and 51.4 had sedentary habits. An association was observed between BMI and central adiposity (CA) ( p=0.000). CA tended to be present around 1.2 times more frequently in elderly women with excess weight than among those who were not overweight. Conclusion: The high frequency of central adiposity and overweight indicates the susceptibility of this population to these factors. While no association with cardiovascular risk factors was observed, there is a clear need for monitoring by a multidisciplinary team, so as to identify and treat this debilitating condition, thereby contributing to the quality of life of this population.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar à prevalência de risco cardiovascular de acordo com índices antropométricos e avaliar à qualidade de vida em idosas participantes de grupos comunitários de prática de atividade física. Trata-se de um estudo com delineamento transversal, com amostra por conveniência. A amostra foi constituída por 84 idosas com média de idade 66,66 ± 5,54 anos. Aplicou-se instrumento compilado a partir de questionários validados para o Brasil. Também coletou-se os dados de massa corporal, estatura e circunferências de cintura, quadril e abdômen. Foram analisadas as variáveis sociodemográficas, percepção de qualidade de vida, nível de atividade física e a avaliação dos índices antropométricos índice de massa corporal e relação cintura/quadril. Enquanto principais resultados, verifica-se que 64,6% dos idosos são ativos, à circunferência de cintura classifica 79,48% dos idosos como "risco" e não houve diferença entre a percepção de qualidade de vida e à exposição ao risco identificado pelos índices antropométricos (F(3,71)= 0,31; p= 0,82). Conclui-se que a circunferência de cintura foi o índice antropométrico que melhor estimou o risco do grupo e que a percepção de qualidade de vida independe da estimativa de risco a qual o sujeito está exposto.Palavras-chave: idoso, obesidade, qualidade de vidaThe present study aimed to identify the prevalence of cardiovascular risk according to anthropometric indices and to evaluate the quality of life in elderly women participating in community groups of physical activity practice. It is a cross-sectional study, with convenience sample. The sample consisted of 84 elderly women with a mean age of 66.66 ± 5.54 years. An instrument compiled from questionnaires validated for Brazil was applied. Data were also collected on body mass, height and circumferences of waist, hip and abdomen. sociodemographic variables, perception of quality of life, level of physical activity and evaluation of anthropometric indices, body mass index and waist / hip ratio were analyzed. The main results show that 64.6% of the elderly are active, waist circumference classifies 79.48% of the elderly as "risk" and there was no difference between the perception of quality of life and the risk exposure identified by the anthropometric index (F (3,71) = 0.31, p = 0.82). It was concluded that waist circumference was the anthropometric index that best estimated the risk of the group and that the perception of quality of life independent of the risk estimate to which the subject is exposed.Keywords: elderly, obesity, quality of life INTRODUÇÃOA transição demográfica (TD), caracterizada pelo aumento da expectativa de vida, redução da taxa de fecundidade e consequente aumento da proporção de idosos em relação aos mais jovens, tem se configurado como um fator preocupante entre os países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento [1]. Essa preocupação se dá devido às alterações que ocorrem na previdência social e no alto custo financeiro despendido na saúde especializada, tendo em vista que um idos...

“…Overall, the prevalence of smoking and alcoholism among the elderly is presented as low, which can lead as a result of disruption of these habits with increasing age or the presence of comorbidi-ties, which may increase the predisposition to premature deaths of smokers and alcoholics [28].…”

Background: The detection of obesity is relevant when it is considered that there is progressive loss of lean body mass and also when it is increased the proportion of body fat with aging. Metabolic changes and reduced physical activities require increased energy and weight loss, contributing to obesity installation, which exerts implications on health and social life of the elderly person. Before these consequences of obesity and its impact on the elderly people's health, the study aimed to identify the prevalence of obesity among elderly participants of a university extension project.Method: Exploratory and descriptive study with quantitative approach. The sample is constituted by 96 elderly people of both sexes who were registered in the project.Result: It appears that the 37 elderly people (38.54%) had some degree of obesity. Obesity classification prevailed 57.63% of non-obese overweight status, while among the obese, 67.57% is in Obesity I. Conclusion:It is believed that knowing this reality helps medical and nursing actions in promotion of strategies of healthy lifestyles and encouragement, making interaction for personal responsibility in training for self-care and improved quality of life.
