“…The American Heart Association estimates that there are four million stroke survivors in the United States and that 600.000 new cases occur annually [3]. In Brazil stroke represents one third of deaths from circulatory diseases per year and assumes a prominent place in conjunction with other cardiovascular problems [4,5].…”

Background: Stroke ranks third and is the leading cause of permanent disability in western countries. Furthermore there are no treatments for the psychosocial effects of this pathology. Purpose: Analyse the effect of an aquatic exercise program in depression and trace and state anxiety in subjects who suffered an ischemic stroke. Methods: Two groups were analyzed: experimental group (EG) n = 15, 50.3 ± 9.1 years; control group (CG) n = 13, 52.5 ± 7.7 years. EG underwent a 12-week aquatic exercise program. Both groups were evaluated in pre-and posttreatment using Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Trace State Anxiety Inventory (IDATE). Wilcoxon signed-rank and Mann-Whitney tests were used to compare moments and groups, respectively. Results: The BDI scores of aquatic activities were: pre-treatment, 17.4 ± 7.7 and 16.9 ± 8.6 for the EG and CG, respectively; post-treatment, 13.2 + 7.1 and 16.4 + 7.9 for the EG and CG, respectively. The IDATE scores for anxiety trace in strength training were: pre-treatment, 43.2 + 12.5 and 42.9 + 12.2 for the EG and CG, respectively; post-treatment, 39.7 + 7.1 and 42.6 + 12.1 for the EG and CG, respectively. The IDATE scores for anxiety state in strength training were: pre-treatment, 46.9 + 7.6 and 47.4 + 8.1 for the EG and CG, respectively; post-treatment, 44.4 + 7.9 and 47.5 + 8.0 for the EG and CG, respectively. Significant differences were found in pre and post-treatment values in the EG and between groups in the depression and trace and state anxiety levels in post-treatment (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Aquatic physical activity contributes to an improvement of the levels of depression and anxiety in people who suffered a stroke.

Studies of causes of death in autopsied older people are not common in Brazil. The aims were to compare demographic data and causes of death in elderly people autopsied in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s and to relate causes of death to age, sex, color, and body mass index. Data survey of the autopsy reports came from the Hospital de Clínicas of the Universidade Federal do Triângulo Mineiro, Uberaba, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The data were obtained from the autopsied individuals 60 years or older. Median age was 69 years (60-120 years) and was higher in the 1990s than in the 1970s (70.5 vs 68.0, P < .05) and higher in women (70 vs 68 years, P < .05). Men (66.8%) and white people (70.0%) predominated during the period. The most frequent causes of death were cardiovascular (42%) and infectious (33.4%). The percentage of cardiovascular causes of death varied little over the 1970s (41.7%), 1980s (42.3%), and 1990s (42.9%), whereas that of infectious causes decreased (38.0%, 28.6%, and 28.6%, respectively) and that of neoplastic causes increased (10.3%, 12.6%, and 19.6%, respectively, P > .05). Most of the elderly (84.6%) presented a body mass index of less than 22 kg/m2 and malnutrition predominated in the 1980s (48%). Therefore, there was little percentage variation in cardiovascular-related deaths over the 3 decades while the percentage of neoplastic-related deaths increased. Infectious causes of death was associated with the lowest body mass index, and the greatest percentage of cardiovascular and neoplastic-related deaths were in women.
