“…Therefore, it appears that there is a tendency for these patients to become less functional over time because of their impairments and comorbidities. Dependence constitutes an important risk factor for hospitalization, institutionalization, and death in an older population, and it often becomes more impactful than the diseases that lead to it 35,36 . The limitations in IADL contribute to social distancing and, consequently, isolationist tendencies given that IADL are related to the management of one's practical and social life 35 .…”

“…30 A ansiedade e a depressão são os agravos psiquiá-tricos mais comuns na velhice e estão associadas à percepção de suporte social como negativo ou insuficiente, ao menor grau de proximidade com outras pessoas e à menor satisfação com as relações sociais. 38 A presença de ansiedade e depressão nos idosos está associada ao sofrimento psíquico e físico, decorrente do agravamento de incapacidades e doenças crônicas, às perdas de entes queridos e papéis sociais e ao histórico prévio de transtornos psiquiátrico. 39 A idade avançada é um dos fatores que contribuem para um maior desenvolvimento de sintomas depressivos.…”

“…Different methods and motor tests have been developed to evaluate the functional fitness of older adults 5,6 . Rikli and Jones 3 proposed a battery of functional fitness tests with normative scores for older adults based on a study that included 7,143 participants (4,058 women) aged 60-94 years from 20 different states of the United States (US).…”

-Functional fitness loss during aging may compromise the quality of life and independence of older subjects. It is important to evaluate and diagnose the functional fitness of the elderly population. This study proposed normative functional fitness scores for a sample of elderly women from southern Brazil and compared values to their counterparts in the US, Extremadura (Spain), Taiwan (China) and Spain. The study sample consisted of 1,783 older women aged 60.0 to 84.9 years (mean 68.7 years; standard deviation 6.3 years) who performed the proposed motor tests of the "Senior Fitness Test" for functional fitness in older women. The percentile values specific to each age group were calculated based on the seven functional fitness components: body mass index, 6-minute walk, arm curl, 30-s chair stand, chair sit-and-reach, backscratch, and 8-feet up-and-go. The non-parametric binomial test compared the 50th percentile value of Brazilian older women with those from other countries. Older women´s performance in the functional capacity tests decreased across age groups. The mean BMI varied among age groups from 29.11 to 26.76 kg/m 2 , 6-minute walk from 572.94 to 486.95 m, arm curl from 17.51 to 15.11 repetitions, 30-schair stand from 15.62 to 14.30 repetitions, chair sit-and-reach from 1.01 to -0.47 cm, back scratch from -4.92 to -10.52 cm and 8-feet up-and-go from 5.96 to 6.83 sec. Functional fitness scores among older women in different countries differed significantly. However, the direction and magnitude of differences were specific to the functional fitness component. Significant differences were observed in the normative scores, suggesting that the use of international normative scores in Brazilian older women may underestimate or overestimate potential functional limitations.
