“…Having a BMI lower than 30 kg/m 2 was a preventative factor for low muscle strength as a muscle quality indicator (68.6% lower risk based on the chair stand test), low functional performance (55.3 to 79.9% lower risk based on gait speed test and the SPPB battery) and of failing in at least one variable associated with sarcopenia (48.6% lower risk) after adjusting according to sex and age. Researchers have shown that obesity is related to a poor physical fitness and functionality [73,74]. In fact, obesity increases the quantity of fat infiltration into muscles, decreasing the muscle's physical function [75,76].…”

The revised European consensus defined sarcopenia as a progressive and generalized skeletal muscle disorder that is associated with an increased likelihood of adverse outcomes including falls, fractures, physical disability and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia and analyse the influence of diet, physical activity (PA) and obesity index as risk factors of each criteria of sarcopenia. A total of 629 European middle-aged and older adults were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Anthropometrics were assessed. Self-reported PA and adherence to the Mediterranean diet were evaluated with the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) and Prevention with Mediterranean Diet questionnaire (PREDIMED), respectively. The functional assessment included handgrip strength, lower body muscle strength, gait speed and agility/dynamic balance. Of the participants, 4.84% to 7.33% showed probable sarcopenia. Sarcopenia was confirmed in 1.16% to 2.93% of participants. Severe sarcopenia was shown by 0.86% to 1.49% of participants. Male; age group ≤65 years; lower body mass index (BMI); high levels of vigorous PA; and the consumption of more than one portion per day of red meat, hamburgers, sausages or cold cuts and/or preferential consumption of rabbit, chicken or turkey instead of beef, pork, hamburgers or sausages (OR = 0.126–0.454; all p < 0.013) resulted as protective factors, and more time of sedentary time (OR = 1.608–2.368; p = 0.032–0.041) resulted as a risk factor for some criteria of sarcopenia. In conclusion, age, diet, PA, and obesity can affect the risk of having low muscle strength, low muscle mass or low functional performance, factors connected with sarcopenia.

“…These results could be helpful for the assessment of protein intake per meal in older adults, looking for those who eat less than two meals with ≥30 g or ≥0.4 g/kg as a risk factor before physical disability occurs. However, the interaction of protein intake doses with other variables, as total protein intake [23][24][25][26], physical activity level [16][17][18][19], and participation in exercise programs [19][20][21] should also be monitored in the clinical practice as risk factors.…”

“…Current evidence suggests that lifestyle factors are significantly associated with functionality and physical disability. For instance, physically active older adults and those engaged in exercise programs show higher functionality and lower physical disability than their less physically active counterparts [16][17][18][19][20][21]. Additionally, dietary factors, such as low dietary protein intake, are also associated with these outcomes, whereas older adults who consume higher amounts of protein have been reported to have higher muscle mass [22,23], better functionality [24,25] and lower disability [26,27] in some studies.…”

Adequate protein intake per day has been associated with a lower risk of physical disability; however, if adequate protein intake per meal is also associated is unknown. The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between adequate protein intake per meal and physical disability in daily living activities in Mexican adults aged ≥60 years. We assessed the number of meals per day with an adequate protein content (24 h dietary recall), the presence of physical disability in daily living activities (two validated questionnaires), and their association in 187 participants through logistic regression. Consuming two or three meals per day with ≥30 g each was associated with lower risk of physical disability on Transportation (OR [95% CI]: 0.06 [0.01–0.50], p = 0.01), Shopping (0.05 [0.01–0.40], p = 0.004), Feeding (0.06 [0.01–0.74], p = 0.028), and Transfer (0.09 [0.01–0.98], p = 0.048). On the other hand, consuming two or three meals per day with ≥0.4 g/kg each was associated with lower risk of physical disability on Shopping (0.21 [0.05–0.89], p = 0.034) and Transportation (0.12 [0.03–0.48], p = 0.003). The consumption of two or three meals per day with adequate protein content is associated with lower risk of physical disability in Mexican adults aged 60 years and older.

“…A prática de atividades físicas em indivíduos idosos, objetiva beneficiar sua autossuficiência. Podendo assim, levar a diminuição dos efeitos deletérios que podem ser observados com o avançar da idade 2 . Sendo assim, a sua prática regular melhora a saúde e a qualidade de vida, levando a uma melhora na capacidade funcional e, consequentemente, desenvolvendo a autonomia e melhora da saúde mental dos idosos 3,4,5 .…”

A prática de atividade física é importante para pessoas idosas. É importante compreender os aspectos que podem influenciar o idoso na adesão e na manutenção do estilo de vida ativo e saudável. O objetivo deste estudo é investigar os fatores motivacionais de idosos que praticam atividades físicas regulamente. A coleta de dados foi realizada utilizando-se o IMPRAF-54 (Inventário de Motivação para Prática Regular de Atividades Físicas). A amostra foi composta por idosos com idade entre 60 e 79 anos (69,3±5,4), 27(54%) homens e 19(38%) mulheres. A maior motivação para atividade física nessa população foi relacionada a saúde (38,0±3,7) e o fator mais irrelevante foi a competitividade (9,3±3,0). Uma correlação binária entre os domínios do IMPRAF-54 realizada relacionou que o controle do estresse está positivamente associado à saúde, sociabilidade, estética e prazer. A busca por melhor saúde foi maior motivador para essa população. Algumas diferenças entre os sexos foram encontradas. A competição foi relevante em idosos com idades entre 60 e 69 anos do que idosos com idades entre 70 e 79 anos. Fator motivacional mais importante foi a saúde relacionada à prática de atividade física. A competitividade foi negativamente relacionada à maioria dos domínios relacionados a IMPRAF-54.
