ABSTRACT Objective To compare body composition of postmenopausal women with and without dynapenia, defined by different cut-off points. Methods Body was assessed electrical bioimpedance the nutritional status mass index. Dynapenia diagnosed according to handgrip strength, using following points: strength <16kgf <20 kgf. Results A total 171 (50 92 years age) participated in investigation. The mean age non-dynapenic dynapenic (handgrip <20kgf) 69.4±8.2 74.5±8.2 years, respectively....

Spatial orientation in relation to the gravitational axis is significantly important for maintenance of posture, gait and most human's motor activities. The subjective visual vertical exam evaluates individual's perception orientation. aims this study were (1) develop a virtual system evaluate exam, (2) provide simple tool clinical practice (3) assess values h ealthy subjects using new software. Study Design: observational cross-sectional study. Thirty healthy volunteers performed both...

The scope of this article is to analyze anthropometric indicators as predictors in determining frailty elderly people. This a cross-sectional, family-based and analytical study. survey was composed 316 subjects. association between the markers tested using Logistic Regression technique. However, power diagnosis identification best cutoff points were evaluated parameters provided by Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. nutritional status: calf circumference, body mass index...

BACKGROUND: Changes arising from the aging process, particularly changes in body composition, contribute to functional decline of elderly. OBJECTIVE: To compare composition and muscle strength, mobility quality active elderly women according distance walked during 6-minute walk test (6MWT). METHOD: The study included 77 aged 65 80 years, who were divided into tertiles (A, B C) covered 6MWT. We performed anthropometric clinical evaluations. Body was determined by dual energy X-ray...
