Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the association between dementia and anthropometric indicators in older adults of Florianópolis. Method: This was a cross-sectional population-based survey. A total of 1197 older adults were examined in 2013/2014 (≥60 years). Dementia was defined according to the combination of low MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination) score and moderate/severe dependence in the activities of daily living. The independent variables were body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and conicity index. Logistic regression (crude and adjusted) was used. Results: The estimation of the prevalence of dementia was 15,1%. After adjustement for sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle and depressive symptoms, the dementia was positively associated with the upper tertiles of the BMI (OR: 2,32; IC95%: 1,26-4,25), WC (OR: 2,22; IC95%: 1,20-4,11) and WHtR (OR: 2,30; IC95%: 1,19-4,43). Conclusion: According to the results, both obesity and abdominal fat were associated with the outcome, suggesting that BMI, WC and WHtR should be considered in the investigation of this relationship.
