В статье представлена характеристика динамического компонента постурального баланса и выявлены его особенности у женщин пожилого возраста с постуральным дефицитом. Оценку динамического компонента постурального баланса проводили на компьютерном стабилометрическом комплексе «Balance Manager» у женщин 60-74 лет с падениями в анамнезе и без них. При постуральном дефиците наиболее значимые изменения проявляются в увеличении времени реализации и снижении эффективности выполнения сложных двигательных актов. В факторной структуре показателей динамического компонента постурального баланса при постуральном дефиците ведущим является фактор, характеризующий скоростные и силовые показатели при реализации сложных двигательных актов. Исследование динамического компонента постурального баланса рекомендуется включать в комплексную диагностику нарушений ходьбы у лиц пожилого возраста и при оценке эффективности лечебных и реабилитационных мер. The article presents characteristics of the dynamic component of postural balance and its features in elderly women with postural deficit. The assessment of the dynamic component of postural balance was performed on a computer stabilometric complex «Balance Manager» in women aged 60-74 with and without a history of falls. The most significant changes are manifested by an increase in the time of implementation and a decrease in the effectiveness of performing complex motor acts. In the factor structure of indicators of the dynamic component of postural balance in postural deficit, the leading factor is the factor that characterizes speed and power indicators in the implementation of complex motor acts. The study of the dynamic component of postural balance is recommended to be included in the comprehensive diagnosis of walking disorders in the elderly and in evaluating the effectiveness of treatment and rehabilitation measures.

Despite growing indications of increased participation in healthful physical activity among the elderly, aging women tend to participate in exercise and sport to a lesser extent than their male peers. This paper suggests that strongly held beliefs about the potential risks of vigorous exercise deter many elderly women from being physically active. It then examines the gendered nature of myths and stereotypes concerning aging and physical activity and explores those social and cultural factors that have historically persuaded aging women to practice "being" old and inactive before "becoming" old. The purpose is to elaborate upon studies in the history of aging which indicate that popular perceptions rather than reality shaped social expectations, professional prescriptions, and public policy. These studies suggest how the creation of negative stereotypes around the aging female paved the way for an unbalanced version of the realities of female old age, at times delimiting aspirations and constraining opportunities for vigorous and healthful physical activity.

<p>Elderly women experience loneliness related to unexpected situations of partner loss (husband's death). Loneliness can have an impact on subjective well-being, life satisfaction, quality of life, mental and physical health, and even death. The purpose of this study was to describe and understand experiences related to loneliness for elderly widows. The subjects involved were 6 (six) widows due to the death of their husbands (widowed), widows of more than 1 year, and no history of psychological disorders. Methods of data collection using interviews and observation. This study resulted in the conclusion that an elderly widow can experience loneliness due to the loss of a spouse who is taken away by death. Subjective well-being and perceived life satisfaction are the results of a religious coping strategy that is effective in over­coming loneliness experienced. When feelings of losing a spouse can be overcome by religious behavior, enthusiasm for survival and re-establishing social interaction, the elderly can feel well-being and life satisfaction.</p>

Background: NCDs have been the leading causes of death among women globally for the past three decades and are now responsible for two in every three deaths among women each year. India endorsed the Sustainable Development Goal for health to set a target to decrease premature deaths from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by one-third by 2030. Aims of the study were to estimate the prevalence of hypertension among the elderly women from rural area and to know the associated co-morbidities among the elderly women from rural area.Methods: A community based cross sectional study was conducted among elderly women >60 yrs. Data was collected by using pre tested structured questionnaire, which contained basic information like name, age, education & socioeconomic status, occupation, marital status, known case of hypertension, family history, any other co- morbidities.Results: 65.2% of the participants had normal blood pressure, 34.7% were hypertensive. 38% of study subjects living in joint family were hypertensive, majority (53.8% and 85.6%) of them who were obese and had a history of tobacco intake were hypertensive. The association between hypertension and these variables was found to be statistically significant.Conclusions: 15.4% of the study participants were newly detected hypertensives. This indicates a need for awareness to be created among the elderly women regarding hypertension risk factors, to sensitize them for regular medical check-ups to ensure prevention and early detection of hypertension.

Abstract Introduction: Disorders inherent to aging are increasingly present, with voiding dysfunctions and greater submission to surgeries among them. Objective: To analyze the influence of gynecological surgeries (Hysterectomy-HT and Colpoperineoplasty-CPP) on urodynamic bladder function parameters of adult women. Methods: A comparative study of urodynamic data from 706 patients was performed at the Urology Service of HC/UFPE. Previously, patients with any known clinical factor which could affect bladder function were excluded. These patients were analyzed in groups according to their history of gynecological surgery and age group (Non-elderly/elderly). The control group was composed by women without any gynecological surgery history. Results: All urodynamic parameters were worse in the elderly subgroup. The fundamental difference between the groups consisted of senility and past gynecological surgeries (higher in the elderly group). In the general female population, a history of gynecological surgeries was related to several alterations in urodynamic parameters. All urodynamic micturition phase parameters were significantly worse in patients with colpoplasty history. Hysterectomy history was also associated to a deterioration in some micturition parameters. However, no relationship between gynecological surgeries and urodynamic changes was found in the elderly women subgroup. Conclusion: Gynecological surgeries (HT/CPP) do not alter the prevalence and/or intensity of voiding dysfunctions already expected in the older age group of women from the aging process itself. Functional changes in the lower urinary tract resulting from aging are imposed in elderly women, regardless of their gynecological surgery history.

AbstractObjective: The relationship between early adverse experience and psychological illness has been studied in younger adults, but not in the elderly. This study investigated early adverse experience in elderly women with a history of severe depression by using a semi-structured interview.Method: Women admitted with a history of severe depression were identified and interviewed using the Brief Parenting Interview (BPI)(n=14).Results: The majority of elderly women (71%) with a history of severe depression had suffered significant childhood trauma. Eight (57%) women reported parental loss, six (49%) reported tension or discord in the family home and one woman reported severe child sexual abuse. The majority of the women (87%) did not find the questionnaire distressing and all found it acceptable.Conclusions: Considering the high prevalence of childhood trauma in this group and the problems treating severe depressive illness in the elderly, this area deserves further study. The BPI is well tolerated in elderly women with a history of depression.

Introduction: The Pilates method has become popular as a form of exercise, with good acceptance among the elderly, however, some variables need to be further explored, as the functional autonomy and postural balance. Objective: An objective of this study was to verify the effects of the Pilates method, based on the functional autonomy and postural balance in elderly women. Method: We recruited 24 volunteers who were randomly divided into two groups: experimental group (GE) who performed Pilates (n=12); Control Group (CG) who performed exercise static stretching (n=12). Both had a frequency of twice a week for eight weeks. The evaluations consisted of a battery of tests for functional autonomy of the elderly, the Group of Latin-American Development to the Maturity (GDLAM) protocol, six-minute walk test and static postural balance on a force platform. Results: The results showed significant results for GE in two tests of functional autonomy and the overall rate of functional autonomy (p<0.05). Differences for the other tests were not found. Conclusions: The intervention protocol with Pilates, allowed the improvement of functional autonomy in elderly women, not having an effect on the six-minute walk test and the postural balance.

Risk Of Falls

Background: Postural balance consists of information emanating from the interaction of visual, somatosensory and vestibular systens. This information is impaired in aging, leading to postural control changes in the elderly, increasing the risk of falls in this population. The postural balance may be improved with the addition of sensory information, such as a subpatelar bandage. Objective: To investigate the effect of using additional sensory information in gait speed and functional mobility of older fallers. Methods: 28 elderly women were evaluated, all were considered fallers. The test Timed Up and Go (TUG) was used to assess functional mobility and 10m Test to evaluate the gait speed. The tests were performed with and without the addition of additional sensory information (subpatelar strip). The normality was verified by the Shapiro-Wilk test and the results were compared using paired Student t test and Wilcoxon test. Results: There was significant difference in the TUG (p = 0.0006) and in the gait speed (p = 0.004) with and without subpatelar strip. Conclusion: The use of additional sensory information increased the gait speed and functional mobility of older fallers.
