There is a gap in the understanding of the relationship between abdominal obesity, low vitamin D serum levels and dynapenia later in life. However, there is strong evidence suggesting that these three conditions may be interconnected and part of the same mechanism that affects negatively musculoskeletal health and, consequently, metabolic and functional capacity later in life. Therefore, …
Mobility, measured by walking speed, is considered the sixth vital sign in the assessment of the elderly. Limiting mobility compromises independence and increases the risk of falls, functional loss, hospitalization and death.The decline in walking speed is a complex process associated with increasing age, low education and income, physical inactivity, smoking, joint disease, diabetes, hyp…
Aging is accompanied by changes in lung function, including the progressive decrease in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) due to factors such as loss of lung elasticity, weakening of the breathing muscles, and reduction in the area of surface for alveolar gas exchange. Airflow limitation is one of the main causes of morbidity, functional limitations an…
Hypovitaminosis D is a condition determined by serum concentrations of vitamin D [25 (OH) D] d 30 nmol / L. It's more prevalent in older individuals (e 50 years) due to the fact that aging is accompanied by reduced cutaneous synthesis of vitamin D and decreased expression of vitamin D receptors in tissues in general. Moreover, aging is also accompanied by changes in body composition such …
There are cases where individuals with uncontrolled diabetes and systemic arterial hypertension may develop more complications related to these diseases, including cognitive decline. However, there is a scarcity of longitudinal studies that assess this condition. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to analyze the trajectory of memory and executive function performance in individuals…

Obesity and dynapenia are separated factors for the decline in mobility and lower limb function in elderly people. Besides that, those who present a combination of abdominal obesity and dynapenia evolve with worse closures of health than those who only own abdominal obesity or dynapenia. However, few evidences are showing that there is such effect age, period, and cohort of dynapenic abdo…
Dynapenia, decreased muscle strength related to age, and obesity are major risk factors associated with physical functional decline and mortality in older adults. However, there is still little evidence that dynapenia and obesity, defined as dynapenic obesity, has additive effect in the incidence of disability and mortality in older adults. Thus, the aim of this study is to analyse the ad…
