Resumo:
Objetivo: Investigar o desempenho físico de idosos brasileiros com idade superior a 80 anos com e sem doenças osteoarticulares (DO). Métodos: Foram avaliados 135 indivíduos (idade >80 anos) de ambos os sexos. A presença de osteoporose foi analisada por meio da técnica de Absorptiometria de Raios-X de Dupla Energia, e a prevalência de outras doenças osteoarticulares foi verificada por meio de um questionário resumido de morbidades referidas. O desempenho físico foi avaliado por testes motores. Resultados: Os homens apresentaram maior proporção de osteopenia/osteoporose comparados às mulheres (p=0,013). A proporção de idosos com artrite/artrose foi 33% e 26%, e com alguma doença na coluna foi 19% e 12%, para homens e mulheres, respectivamente. Não houve diferença significativa no desempenho físico para a amostra geral. Segundo o sexo, homens com DO apresentaram menor desempenho nos testes de caminhada, equilíbrio e escore total (p<0,05). Idosos com osteopenia/osteoporose apresentaram maior risco para limitação física (OR 2,73; IC 95% 1,31-5,66). Conclusão: Foi verificado em idosos com idade igual ou superior a 80 anos, alta prevalência de doenças osteoarticulares, especialmente, em homens, e a presença dessas doenças interfere negativamente o desempenho físico desses idosos.
Objective: To investigate the physical performance of Brazilian individuals older than 80 years with and without OD. Methods: The sample consisted of 135 individuals (aged >80 years) of both gender. Identification of osteopenia/osteoporosis was verified by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry, and the presence of others osteoarticular diseases (OD) was obtained using a questionnaire of morbidities. Physical performance was analyzed by motor tests. Results: Men presented higher proportion of osteopenia/osteoporosis compared to women (p=0.013). The proportion of older people with arthritis/osteoarthritis for women and men was 33% and 26%, respectively, and with OD in the spine was 19% and 12%, respectively. No significant difference for physical performance, measured by each test and overall score, was observed between groups of OD. According to gender, male with OD presented lower performance in gait speed, balance and overall score (p<0.05), while older people with osteopenia/osteoporosis are at higher risk for low physical performance (OR 2.73; CI 95% 1.31-5.66). Conclusion: In conclusion it was verified in older people with age of 80 years or more, a high prevalence of OD, especially in men, and the presence of these diseases interfered negatively their physical performance.
