Older age is marked by muscle mass loss, which has been shown to increase the risk for falls, injuries and disability. The main goal of this project is to strengthen the current collaboration and to simplify current procedures for measurement of muscle mass, which are used in the diagnosis of sarcopenia. The researchers at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and UNICAMP are …
In public health for a better understanding of reality and food health determinants, studies of food patterns are carried to establish relationships between nutrition and health processes especially in elderly individuals, who in general present multimorbidities, polypharmacy, socioeconomic and psychological factors, which lead to low food variety and high nutritional risk. Thus, the pres…
Anemia is the most commonly hematologic disorder in older adults, with a prevalence of approximately 10% in community-living elderly. It is usually associated with protein malnutrition and can have an impact on various aspects that affect the quality of life for older adults, such as frailty, impaired mobility, and functional impairment. Thus, aim of this project is to evaluate the impact…
Introduction: Accurate assessment of body composition is fundamental for the development of early strategies in the context of pathologies associated with aging, such as sarcopenia. The techniques currently available for the evaluation of muscle mass are generally complex, more difficult to be implemented in clinical practice, with higher costs or have pre-examination protocols that can b…
Food consumption and nutritional needs, as well as knowledge of the nutritional status of the elderly are important points to be studied. Fats are essential components of the diet, because in addition to providing greater amount of energy compared to carbohydrates and protein, contains essential fatty acids. However, especially saturated fats, can be detrimental to health when consumed in…
