0067/2016 - A relação entre auto-percepção do estado de saúde e a condição física em septuagenários e octogenários The relation between self-perceived health status and the physical fitness, in septuagenarian and octogenarian
Introdução: O processo de envelhecimento tem inerente uma diminuição das capacidades fisiológicas. Os testes Handrip (HT) e 6-Minutos-Andar (6MW) são utilizados na avaliação da aptidão física do idoso. O questionário SF-36v2, que inclui Componente Física (CF), Função Física (FF) e Desempenho Físico (DF), são usados na avaliação da percepção de saúde. Objetivo: Comparar a aptidão física e percepção de saúde em septuagenários (70’) e octogenários (80’) e examinar a relação entre variáveis. Método: Cinquenta e sete 70’ e vinte e seis 80’, recrutados na população de Ponte de Lima, preencheram o questionário SF-36v2 e realizaram os testes HT e 6MW. T-Test e Coeficiente de Pearson foram usados para análise estatística, significância p < 0.05. Resultados: Foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre grupos no Desempenho Físico (p = 0.025), Força Manual (p <0.05) e Capacidade Cardiorrespiratória (p < 0.001). Correlações moderadas foram encontradas entre Força Manual, Capacidade Cardiorrespiratória e DF (p < 0.001) nos dois grupos. A CF e FF foram correlacionadas com Força Manual (p < 0.001) nos 70’. Conclusão: 70’ são mais fortes e com maior capacidade cardiorrespiratória que 80’. A força muscular, nos 70’, e a capacidade cardiorrespiratória, nos 70’ e 80’, promovem a percepção de saúde
Introduction: The aging process is followed by a decrease of physiological capacities. Handgrip (HT) and 6 minutes walking (6MW) are common tests to assess the physical fitness in aged people. The SF-36v2 questionnaire, including physical functioning (PF), role physical (FF) and physical scales (CF), have been used to assess the self-perceived health status. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the physical fitness and the subject’s perception of health, in septuagenarian (70’) and octogenarian’s (80’), and to examine its relationship. Results: Fifty-seven 70’ and twenty-six 80’ volunteers were recruited from Ponte de Lima area. The participants completed the SF-36v2 questionnaire, and were tested on HT and 6MW. T-Test and Pearson coefficient of correlation was used to statistic analyses, significance level p < 0.05. Significant differences were found between 70’ and 80’ in CF (p=0.025], HT (p < 0.05) and 6MW (p<0.001). Moderate correlations were found between FF and both HT and 6MW (p<0.001) in 70’ an 80’. However, HT was correlated with FF and CF (p<0.001) only in 70’. Conclusion: 70’ show better level of muscle strength than 80’. The muscle strength, in 70’, and cardiorespiratory capacity, in 70’ and 80’, contributes significantly to the self-perception on physical health.
