Metabolic syndrome has been considered a factor of vulnerability and major public health problem because it increases the risk cardiovascular disease type 2 diabetes. The present study from Amazonas, Brazil aimed to estimate prevalence individual general components metabolic in adults older identify independent predictors syndrome. sample cross-sectional comprised 942 participants (590 women), with mean age 59.8 ± 19.7 (range: 17.5 91.8). Blood pressure men (62.5%), abdominal obesity women...
Objective: We investigated the relation of hypertension to cognitive performance and its interplay with key markers reserve in a large sample older adults. Method: assessed tests immediate delayed cued recall working memory 701 measured systolic blood pressure interviewed individuals on their education, past occupation, leisure activity. Results: Hypertension (≥140 mmHg) was related lower all three measures. Moderation analyses suggested that these relations were reduced greater engaging...
Background:It remains unclear so far whether the role of cognitive reserve may differ between physically frail compared to less individuals. Therefore, present study set out investigate relation key markers status in old age and its interplay with physical frailty a large sample older adults.Methods:We assessed Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) 701 adults. We measured grip strength as indicator interviewed individuals on their education, past occupation, leisure activity.Results:Greater...
The present study set out to investigate the relation of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level cognitive performance and its interplay with key markers reserve in a large sample older adults.We assessed tests working memory, immediate delayed cued recall 701 adults from Amazonas, Brazil. HDL-C was derived fasting blood samples. In addition, we interviewed individuals on their education, past occupation, leisure activity.A critically low (<40 mg/dL) significantly related lower...
Introduction: Sarcopenia is a progressive and widespread skeletal muscle disorder involving loss of mass function, associated with several outcomes, including falls, functional decline, frailty, mortality. Therefore, this study aimed: (1) to estimate the prevalence sarcopenia, risk falls considering age, sex, level physical activity (PA), (2) identify which these predictors better explained likelihood that participants present fall. A total 701 (433 women) mean age 70.4±6.9. was determined...
We investigated whether the relations of cognitive reserve markers education and level work to physical mental component health-related quality life (HRQoL) were mediated via functioning in a large sample 701 older adults (mean age = 70.36 years, SD 6.87). HRQoL was measured with 12-item Short-Form Health Survey. To measure functioning, we used COGTEL, which is test battery assessing prospective memory, verbal short-term long-term working fluency, inductive reasoning, combined into composite...
Objetivo: Avaliar a efetividade de um programa capacitação para aumentar sistematização da abordagem do conteúdo lutas nas aulas Educação Física em Barcelos-AM. Metodologia: Dez docentes Ensino Fundamental foram divididos em: 1) grupo intervenção, que participou uma curta duração voltada ao ensino das na escola; e 2) controle, não recebeu nenhuma orientação durante pesquisa. No início no fim ano letivo, os 30 discentes responderam questionário semiestruturado relacionado às escolar....
Physical activity and exercise contribute to the accumulation of cognitive reserve, which is instrumental for preserving health in old age. In a large sample 701 older adults (mean age = 70.36 years), we investigated whether relationship between having experienced fall past lower performance functioning was mediated via less physical engagement as reserve contributor. General cognition assessed using mini-mental state examination (MMSE), long-term memory word-pair delayed recall test working...
It remains unclear so far whether the negative relation of critically low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level to cognitive functioning in old age may be reduced individuals with higher reserve accumulated during life course. Therefore, present study set out investigate HDL-C performance and its interplay key markers (education, job, leisure activity) a large sample older adults. We assessed tests working, short-term, long-term memory 701 adults (mean = 70.4 years) from Fonte...
The Cognitive Telephone Screening Instrument (COGTEL) is a novel test battery that allows the assessment of performance in six cognitive domains (prospective, short-term, long-term, and working memory, verbal fluency, reasoning). It can be applied face-to-face session, but also over phone takes only about 15 minutes. COGTEL has been optimized to detailed measure functioning included large-scale epidemiological aging studies. present study set out evaluate psychometric properties two...

 The objectives of this study were: (1) to investigate the age-related differences in cognitive function (CF), nutritional status (MNA), physical activity (AF), quality life (QoL), depression, social satisfaction (SS) and socioeconomic (SES), (2) explore relationships between CF previous variables. This cross sectional included 268 men 433 women (aged 71.4 ± 7.0 years). was determined with Cognitive Telephone Screening Instrument (COGTEL) Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)....
The undergraduate courses in have faced constant transformations, referring to social changes, the epidemiological profile of health problems and it is still possible identify challenges inherent training area, highlighting students at health, making necessary research about sociodemographic academic environment, investigating how they are this environment their quality life.In view this, we proposed investigate academics area Universidade do Estado Amazonas, order describe it, correlating...
Objetivos: (1) determinar a prevalência de quedas em pessoas idosas no Estado do Amazonas; (2) investigar as características das quedas, i.e., o local, razões, atividades associadas, e (3) comparar realidade da entre brasileiras com outros contextos internacionais. Métodos: Este estudo enquadra-se projeto “Saúde, Estilo Vida Aptidão Adultos Idosos Amazonas (SEVAAI)”. Esta investigação, um delineamento transversal, 701 idosos, 268 homens 433 mulheres, os 60 aos 92,8 anos idade, residentes...
