RESUMO: Objetivo: Este trabalho investigou os fatores associados à atividade física em quatro diferentes domínios e o desempenho de atividades sociais em 2.344 idosos (72,3 ± 5,5 anos; 65,6% mulheres) sem déficit cognitivo, residentes na comunidade de seis localidades brasileiras. Método: Uma versão adaptada do Minnesota Leisure Time Activity Questionnaire foi utilizada para avaliar a atividade física em quatro diferentes domínios. Um inventário de atividade social foi desenvolvido para a pesquisa. Idade, gênero e renda familiar foram avaliados por autorrelato. Foram realizadas comparações de frequências e análises de regressão logística. Resultados: Todas as variáveis sociodemográficas demonstraram afetar o perfil de engajamento em atividade da amostra. Ter maior renda familiar comprovou associação a nível elevado de atividade física no lazer, no trabalho e no deslocamento, resultado apoiado pela literatura. O gênero associado a alto nível de atividade variou de acordo com o domínio específico do indicador de atividade analisado. Ter menos idade confirmou ser associado a nível mais elevado de atividade em todos os indicadores integrados à idade, evidenciando o avanço na idade como a grande barreira ao desempenho de atividades físicas e sociais na velhice. Conclusão: Possibilitar o engajamento dos idosos com mais idade é o grande desafio de políticas públicas de fomento ao envelhecimento ativo.

Activity Questionnaire

Previous studies of younger, healthy individuals have demonstrated an inverse relationship between physical activity and depression. The present study addressed the relation between self-reported physical activity and symptoms of depression in 146 men and women aged 50 years and older with major depressive disorder (MDD). Patients who met clinical criteria for MDD completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Minnesota Leisure-Time Activity Questionnaire (MQ). Multiple regression analysis indicated that lower levels of physical activity were associated with more severe depressive symptoms (p = .04), after adjusting for age and gender. The implications of these findings for the treatment and prevention of depression are discussed.

Purpose:This study explored definitions of sedentary behavior and examined the relationship between sitting time and physical inactivity using the sitting items from the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).Methods:Participants (N = 289, 44.6% male, mean age = 35.93) from 3 countries completed self-administered long- and short-IPAQ sitting items. Participants wore accelero-meters; were classified as inactive (no leisure-time activity), insufficiently active, or meeting recommendations; and were classified into tertiles of sitting behavior.Results:Reliability of sitting time was acceptable for men and women. Correlations between total sitting and accelerometer counts/min <100 were significant for both long (r = .33) and short (r = .34) forms. There was no agreement between tertiles of sitting and the inactivity category (kappa = .02, P = .68).Conclusion:Sedentary behavior should be explicitly measured in population surveillance and research instead of being defined by lack of physical activity.

Existem diferenças metodológicas na literatura acerca da medida de atividade física referente à fragilidade. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar relações entre fragilidade e medidas de atividade física. O estudo teve uma amostra probabilística de 689 idosos (72,28 ± 5,40 anos; 68,21% mulheres). Foi utilizada versão adaptada do Minnesota Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire e estabelecidos dois critérios para as medidas de atividade física: prática regular de exercícios físicos e taxa semanal de gasto calórico em exercícios físicos e em atividades domésticas. Quanto à pontuação, 15,09% dos idosos pontuaram em perda de peso; 17,13%, em fadiga; 16,96%, em baixa força de preensão; 15,87%, em lentidão de marcha; 43,02%, em comorbidades. A frequência de ativos pelo critério de gasto calórico foi de 83,55%; por prática de exercícios físicos, 45,27%. Houve associações entre baixo nível de gasto calórico e baixa força de preensão, lentidão de marcha e idade avançada; entre sedentarismo quanto à prática de exercícios físicos e comorbidades. A medida conforme gasto calórico foi mais sensível aos indicadores de fragilidade, e a medida conforme prática de exercícios físicos, ao estado de saúde.

Background The influence of physical activity (PA) and fitness (PF) at older ages on changes in telomere length (TL), repetitive DNA sequences that may mark biologic aging, are not well established. Prior studies in older adults were cross-sectional, and few evaluated PF. Aim To investigate both cross-sectional and prospective associations of PA and PF with Leukocyte TL in older adults. Methods Among 582 adults age 73±5 y at baseline in CHS having serial LTL measures (leucocyte mean terminal restriction length) in 1992 and 1997, PA (walking pace, blocks, combined walking score; leisure time activity) and PF (15-ft walk, chair stands, grip strength) were assessed multiple times from 1989 to 1997. Cross-sectional associations were assessed using multivariable repeated-measures regression of cumulative average serial PA and PF measures from 1989 to 1992 against LTL in 1992; and cumulative averaged PA and PF from 1993 to 1997 against LTL in 1997. Longitudinal analyses assessed cumulative averaged PA and PF from 1989-92 against later changes in LTL from 1992-97; and changes in cumulative averaged PA and PF from 1989-92 to 1993-97 against changes in LTL from 1992-97. We evaluated all subjects, those without poor/fair self-reported health, and those without limited ADLs. Results Cross-sectionally, greater walking distance and chair test performance, but not other PA and PF measures, each associated with longer LTL ( P trend 0.007, 0.04 respectively). Lab measures of DNA integrity suggested measurable degradation that markedly attenuates ability to detect differences in LTL changes over time, especially over only 5 y. For example, baseline PA and PF from 1989-92 were unassociated with later changes in LTL. In contrast, changes in leisure time activity and chair test performance from 1992-97 were each inversely associated with LTL shortening. Conclusions Even late in life, certain PA and PF metrics are associated with longer LTL cross-sectionally and, even with likely substantial measurement error, with less LTL shortening over time.
