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, …
Dementia, a progressive condition with a higher incidence in the elderly, has become an emerging issue for public health. This is because, in addition to functional and social damage, it is responsible for one of the greatest costs for society as a whole. Hospital episodes, such as frequent trips to the emergency room, transitions to more complex care, as well as recurrent and prolonged h…
Concomitantly with the aging process, changes in sleep patterns occur. Decreased efficiency and total sleep time, increased time to fall asleep, comorbidities and use of drugs increase the chances of developing sleep disorders. Thus, reduced sleep duration and the presence of sleep disorders may be associated with reduced neuromuscular strength and walking speed in elderly people of both …
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…

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…
