Abstract(s)
Com o avanço da idade as funções fisiológicas do corpo humano entram num processo de decadência. Este processo, é naturalmente ligado ao envelhecimento normal, porém atua de diversas maneiras em diferentes indivíduos. Isto significa que, depende de factores intrínsecos (i.e., factores genéticos) e extrínsecos (i.e., estilo de vida, cuidados com a saúde, grau de instrução etc.). Uma vez que no contexto da sociedade atual, o número de pessoas idosas aumentou de maneira significativa, é imperativo desenvolver programas e estratégias de saúde com vista a um envelhecimento saudável (i.e., estimulação física e mental). Os objetivos deste trabalho foram: (1) investigar as diferenças de média entre os adultos idosos jovens ( ≤ 69 anos de idade) e os adultos idosos idosos ( ≥ 70 anos de idade), nos scores de autonomia física e instrumental, na funcionalidade, na atividade física, na aptidão funcional e na qualidade de vida; (2) explorar a relação entre a autonomia instrumental, a funcionalidade com a atividade física, a aptidão funcional e a qualidade de vida, quando controlado estatisticamente pelo efeito da idade; e (3) investigar a relação dos marcadores-chaves da reserva cognitiva, (i.e., a educação, a ocupação e as atividades cognitivas de lazer) com o status cognitivo em função do nível de funcionalidade física. A amostra foi composta 701 adultos idosos residentes nos municípios de Apuí, Fonte Boa, e Manaus. Os adultos idosos foram avaliados nas seguintes variáveis: estado mental, aptidão funcional, composição corporal, atividade física, estado geral de saúde, estatuto socioeconômico, autonomia física e instrumental, cognição, qualidade e estilo de vida. Este estudo demonstra que as pessoas idosas mais velhas (≥ 70 anos de idade) apresentam scores mais baixos na escala de autonomia instrumental, funcionalidade, atividade física, aptidão funcional (força, equilíbrio e resistência aeróbia) e na componente mental da qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde. Níveis superiores de atividade física, melhores scores nos testes de aptidão funcional e scores mais elevados na qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde (componentes física e mental), estavam associados a scores mais elevados nas escalas de autonomia instrumental e funcionalidade física, independentemente da idade. Maior força estática, maior escolaridade, maior nível cognitivo de trabalho e maior envolvimento na atividade cognitiva de lazer foram significativamente relacionadas a melhores desempenhos cognitivos. As análises de moderação mostraram que as relações de escolaridade, nível cognitivo de trabalho e atividade cognitiva de lazer com as pontuações do MMSE foram significativamente maiores nos indivíduos com menor nível, comparados àqueles com maior força estática. O status cognitivo na velhice pode depender mais fortemente da reserva cognitiva acumulada ao longo da vida, em idosos fisicamente frágeis (em comparação com menos frágeis). Estudos longitudinais, assim como medidas mais objetivas de avaliação são fundamentais para uma compreensão mais profunda destas relações.
With advancing age the physiological functions of human body enters a decay process. This process is naturally linked to normal aging, but acts in different ways in different individuals. This means that depends on intrinsic factors (ie, genetic factors) and extrinsic (ie, lifestyle, healthcare, education level etc.). Once in the context of today's society, the number of older people increased significantly, it is imperative to develop health programs and strategies for healthy aging (ie, physical and mental stimulation). The objectives of this study were: (1) investigate the mean differences among the young elderly adults (≤ 69 years old) and the elderly elderly adults (≥ 70 years of age), the scores of physical and instrumental autonomy, functionality, physical activity, functional fitness and quality of life; (2) exploring the relationship between instrumental autonomy functionality with physical activity, functional ability and quality of life when a statistically controlled by the effect of age; and (3) to investigate the relationship of the key markers of cognitive reserve (ie, education, occupation and cognitive leisure activities) with cognitive status due to the physical level of functionality. The sample included 701 elderly residents in the municipalities of adults Apuí, Fonte Boa and Manaus. Older adults were evaluated in the following variables: mental status, functional fitness, body composition, physical activity, general health, socioeconomic status, physical and instrumental autonomy, cognition, quality and lifestyle. This study shows that older elderly (≥ 70 years of age) have lower scores on the scale of instrumental autonomy, functionality, physical activity, functional fitness (strength, balance and endurance) and the mental component of quality of life related with health. higher physical activity levels, better scores in the functional and scores aptitude tests higher quality of health-related life (physical and mental components), they were associated with higher scores on scales of instrumental autonomy and physical functioning, regardless of age . Higher static strength, higher education, higher cognitive level of work and increased involvement in cognitive leisure activity were significantly related to better cognitive performance. The analysis showed that the moderation educational relations, cognitive work and leisure cognitive activity level with MMSE scores were significantly higher in individuals with a lower level compared to those with higher static strength. Cognitive status in old age may depend more heavily on cognitive reserve accumulated throughout life, physically frail elderly (compared to less fragile). Longitudinal studies, as well as further evaluation of objective measures are key to a deeper understanding of these relationships. Cognitive status in old age may depend more heavily on cognitive reserve accumulated throughout life, physically frail elderly (compared to less fragile).
