To determine the accuracy of Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) for screening risk falls among community-dwelling elderly individuals.This is a prospective cohort study with randomly by lots without reposition sample stratified proportional partition in relation to gender involving 63 individuals. Elderly individuals who reported having Parkinson's disease, history transitory ischemic attack, stroke Mini Mental State Exam lower than expected education level, were on wheelchair that single fall...
To analyze whether quality of life in active, healthy elderly individuals is influenced by functional status and sociodemographic characteristics, as well psychological parameters.Study conducted a sample 120 active subjects recruited from two open universities the third age cities São Paulo José dos Campos (Southeastern Brazil) between May 2005 April 2006. Quality was measured using abbreviated Brazilian version World Health Organization Live (WHOQOL-bref) questionnaire. Sociodemographic,...
The aim of the present study was to examine prevalence and factors associated with sarcopenia in older residents São Paulo, Brazil.
Sarcopenia, defined as low muscle mass (LMM), and dynapenia have been associated with adverse outcomes in elderly. Contrast the association of sarcopenia versus incidence disability. São Paulo, Brazil. 478 individuals aged 60 older from Saúde, Bem-Estar e Envelhecimento (SABE) study who were non-disabled at baseline. measured according to European Working Group on Sarcopenia Older People (EWGSOP), includes: LMM assessed by skeletal index ≤8.90kg/m2 (men) ≤6.37kg/m2 (women); strength (LMS)...
Limited formal education is still common in ageing populations. Although limited seems to be independently and negatively associated with cognition, functional abilities frailty ageing, no studies have examined whether the gradient of has an impact on health later life.to examine relationship cognitive status, abilities, status.a cross-sectional study was conducted involving 540 older adults stratified into groups: education, 12-24 months 25-48 education. Cognitive screening (MMSE), (Lawton...
OBJECTIVE To analyze gender differences in the incidence and determinants of disability regarding instrumental activities daily living among older adults. METHODS The data were extracted from Saúde, Bem-Estar e Envelhecimento (SABE – Health, Wellbeing Ageing) study. In 2000, 1,034 adults without difficulty selected. following characteristics evaluated at baseline: sociodemographic behavioral variables, health status, falls, fractures, hospitalizations, depressive symptoms, cognition,...
The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) is widely used to predict negative health-related outcomes in older adults. However, the cutoff point for detection of frailty syndrome not yet conclusive.The aim this study was determine diagnostic value SPPB detecting community-dwelling adults.This a population-based cross-sectional focusing on households urban areas. A total 744 people who were 65 years old or participated study.Frailty determined by presence 3 more following components:...
SummaryBackground/ObjectivesThe concept of dynapenic obesity has been gaining great attention recently. However, there is little epidemiological evidence demonstrating that abdominal obese individuals have worse trajectories disability than those with dynapenia and alone. Our aim was to investigate whether combined can result in instrumental activities daily living (IADL) among English Brazilian older adults over eight ten years follow-up, respectively.MethodsWe used longitudinal data from...
Abstract Objectives to analyse the accuracy of grip strength and gait speed in identifying mortality; compare association between mortality sarcopenia defined by EWGSOP1 EWGSOP2 using best cut-off found present study those recommended literature test whether slowness is better than these two definitions identify risk death older adults. Methods a longitudinal was conducted involving 6,182 individuals aged 60 or who participated English Longitudinal Study Ageing. Sarcopenia based on different...
To estimate the prevalence of sarcopenia, dynapenia, and sarcodynapenia associated factors in older adults city São Paulo, Brazil.A population-based, cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,168 who participated third wave Health, Well-being, Aging 2010 (SABE study). Men women skeletal muscle mass ≤ 8.90 6.37 kg/m2, respectively, were considered sarcopenic. grip strength < 30 20 kg, dynapenic. Those both conditions sarcodynapenic. Sociodemographic, behavioral, clinical, nutritional,...
Cross-sectional evidence has shown an association between abdominal obesity and lower muscle strength in older adults. However, no longitudinal findings have confirmed this association. In addition, the impact of fat on reduction is not yet fully understood. We investigated associations handgrip 5,181 adults from English Longitudinal Study Ageing over 8 years follow-up. Muscular was measured using a manual dynamometer. Abdominal defined as waist circumference >102 cm for men >88 women....
There is little epidemiological evidence demonstrating that dynapenic abdominal obese individuals have worse trajectories of disability than those with dynapenia and obesity alone. Our aim was to investigate whether can result in activities daily living (ADL) over 8 years follow-up.We used longitudinal data from 3,723 participants free ADL at baseline the English Longitudinal Study Ageing. Using measures handgrip strength (<26 kg for men; <16 women) waist circumference (>102 cm >88 women),...
Abstract Objective to investigate whether the combination of dynapenia and abdominal obesity is worse than these two conditions separately regarding gait speed decline over time. Methods a longitudinal study was conducted involving 2,294 individuals aged 60 years or older free mobility limitation at baseline (gait &gt;0.8 m/s) who participated in English Longitudinal Study Ageing. Dynapenia determined as grip strength &lt;26 kg for men &lt;16 women. Abdominal waist circumference...
Dynapenic abdominal obesity has been shown as a risk factor for all-cause mortality in older adults. However, there is no evidence on the association between this condition and cardiovascular mortality.We aimed to investigate whether dynapenic associated with individuals aged 50 older.A longitudinal study an 8-year follow-up was conducted involving 7,030 participants of English Longitudinal Study Ageing study. Abdominal dynapenia were respectively defined based waist circumference (> 102 cm...
Abstract Aims Cross‐sectional studies demonstrate an association between low serum levels of vitamin D and slower gait speed in older individuals. However, longitudinal remain inconclusive. This study investigates whether deficiency insufficiency are risk factors for the incidence slowness. Materials Methods A total 2815 participants from English Longitudinal Study Ageing (ELSA), aged ≥60 years with a baseline >0.8 m/s, were followed six years. Baseline [25(OH)D] categorized as...
There is little epidemiological evidence demonstrating that dynapenic abdominal obesity has higher mortality risk than dynapenia and alone. Our main aim was to investigate whether combined with increases among English Brazilian older adults over ten-year follow-up.
Objective: To analyze gender differences in incidence and determinants of the components frailty phenotype. Method: A total 1,413 older adults were selected 2006. estimate each component, only individuals who did not exhibit a given component at baseline (independently presence other components) included study. The variables interest socioeconomic, behavioral, clinical, anthropometric factors physical performance. 2010 was outcome. Results: Unintentional weight loss slowness more incident...
