“…It is remarkable that the composition of body fat mass and waist, hip are high, which corroborates with other studies and show that this finding is important, if it is taken into account that changes in body mass composition are frequent among elderly, moreover, the excess is considered a modulation factor and has been associated with a large number of diseases [14,15,16].…”

Objective: Identify a score for the diagnostic assessment of health and body image based on anthropometric and biochemical measures in the elderly. Method:Transversal research exploratory and quantitative approach, developed in the South of the city of João Pessoa-PB with 21 elderly practitioners of physical exercises in sport aerobics in the period of May to June 2015. It was used a sociodemographic questionnaire and the International Physical Activity questionnaire, IPAQ. The research was authorized by the ethics on Research Committee of the University Center of João Pessoa/PB, CAAE 38840214.7.0000.5176. Results:The study subjects had an average age of 65.9 and standard deviation 6.92 years. It was observed in table 2 the importance of body fat Mass and waist hip as the most influential in lifestyle, according to the non-parametric test of McNemar suitable for dichotomous dependent data. In table 3 the importance of all variables with exception of Edema as the most influential in body image, according to the non-parametric test of McNemar Conclusion: It is observed that the elderly present composition of body fat mass and relative CK high, according to the measure of proximity of Jaccard, thus most of the elderly are in opposition to a healthy lifestyle. It is essential for the understanding of the characteristics and the transformations that the individuals with the advancement of age

“…However, the strengths of our study are that we analyzed a very large-scale nationwide database using direct measures of anthropometric variables and not participants’ self-reported metrics. Furthermore, we adjusted for lifestyle habits such as regular exercise, alcohol and smoking history, well-known related factors for the change of body composition [ 32 ].…”

BackgroundA recent concept is that obesity, assessed by body mass index (BMI), is not always a sign of poor health. Thus, in order to use obesity metrics in clinical decision making, it is important to clarify the relationship between waist circumference (WC), a proxy for abdominal obesity, and mortality.MethodsData were used from 8,796,759 subjects aged between 30 and 90 years, who had participated in the Korea National Health Screening Examination between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 and survived at least 1 year post screening. Data from a mean follow-up time of an additional 5.3 years (time at risk) were analyzed for the relationship between WC and mortality according to age, sex, and BMI category.ResultsAn increased WC of more than 90 cm in men and 85 cm in women showed a definite negative influence on mortality. However, the detailed relationship between WC and mortality was J-shaped or U-shaped according to age, sex, and BMI category. In the normal BMI group, the optimal WC range with the lowest mortality was < 70 cm in men and 70–75 cm in women, whereas in obese individuals a WC between 80 and 90 cm in men and 75 and 85 cm in women showed the lowest mortality. The association between increased WC and higher mortality tended to be more obvious in normal-weight women than in normal-weight men or obese women. Furthermore, in normal-weight and obese women, the effect of increased WC on mortality was more critical for subjects aged < 60 years rather than those aged ≥ 60 years.ConclusionsAbdominal obesity, as measured by WC, showed a significant negative association on mortality, and its association with mortality was different according to age, sex, and BMI category. Therefore, WC should be considered in the assessment of obesity-related health risks, and individualized cut-off points for the definition of a healthy WC according to age, sex, and BMI category are necessary.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12916-018-1114-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Salienta-se que, neste estudo, assim como em outros com similar delineamento, a idade manteve-se associada aos desfechos, mesmo ajustada para diversos fatores de confusão 14,[22][23][24] . A associação entre idade e sobrepeso ou obesidade pode ser parcialmente explicada pelo declínio da taxa metabólica basal e diminuição da massa muscular, que fisiologicamente acompanha o processo de envelhecimento, bem como pela redução natural da prática atividade física 3,[25][26][27] .…”

Resumo Introdução O sobrepeso e a obesidade são multicausais, porém seus determinantes ainda não foram completamente estudados. Objetivo Estimar a prevalência de sobrepeso e de obesidade e os fatores associados. Método Estudo transversal de base populacional com 981 mulheres (20 a 60 anos) de São Leopoldo/RS. O peso e a altura foram aferidos para o cálculo do Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). Mulheres com IMC entre 25,0 e 29,9 kg/m2 e IMC ≥ 30,0 kg/m2 foram classificadas com sobrepeso e obesidade, respectivamente. As razões de prevalência e os intervalos de confiança de 95% foram estimados por meio de regressão de Poisson. Resultados A prevalência de sobrepeso foi de 33% (IC95%: 30,1-36,0) e de obesidade foi de 31,2% (IC95%: 28,3-34,1). Após ajuste, maiores probabilidades de sobrepeso ocorreram em mulheres mais velhas, pertencentes às classes econômicas mais baixas, casadas ou em união, com histórico de obesidade materna e com uma ou mais gestações. As maiores probabilidades de obesidade ocorreram em mulheres mais velhas, de baixa renda, com histórico de obesidade materna e paterna e com três ou quatro gestações. Menarca acima de 12 anos e prática de atividade física de lazer foram fatores de proteção para a obesidade. Conclusão Esses resultados evidenciam a necessidade de ações de prevenção de longo prazo, algumas delas envolvendo ações transgeracionais.
