| Abstract | |
The aging process is marked by many different experiences and experiences can bring their own morphological and physiological changes of aging. These changes occur because the arrangement of cellular and molecular components, which are controlled by genetic and nongenetic factors. So it is of great importance investigate the associations between the genetic changes, aging and the environment to understanding the very physical characteristics of the aging process. The objective was to study the association of polymorphisms AKT1 G205T (rs1130214), AGTR1 A1166C (rs5186) and visfatin (rs4730153) with health parameters (cognition, quality of life, depression, functional capacity, blood pressure, blood lipids, blood glucose and measures anthropometric) in women over 50 years of age. The sample consisted of 97 women (>= 50 years) who had an interest in joining the OFW - EEFERP - USP. These were initially submitted to an interview, in which the MMSE is applied - inclusion criteria after was carried out physical tests (sitting and standing, LDCF and E, agility, walk 6 min, hands on the bills and sit and reach), application questionnaires and blood collection. Regarding the polymorphism AKT1, the GT / TT genotype showed better results in body mass, body mass index and HDL-cholesterol and worst results LDCF / E compared to the GG genotype in AGTR1 AA genotype showed better results compared with the AC/CC to variables of walking and moderate physical activity, in order to visfatin AA/AG genotype showed better results in HDL and TG compared with the GG genotype. Through presented associations we observed existing relationships and new partnerships in health variables (AU) | |
