Abstract

Introdução: associa-se a diminuição da Aptidão Funcional (AF) em pessoas idosas a uma maior dependência e limitação. Aspecto de interesse no contexto atual do envelhecimento no mundo e na Espanha. Objetivo: determinar o nível de AF em um grupo de mulheres não institucionalizadas maiores de 60 anos de uma cidade da Espanha. Métodos: estudo transversal com 176 mulheres. Avaliou-se a AF com quatro testes da bateria Sênior Fitness Test (SFT): “flexões de braços”, “chair stand”, “2-minutos de caminhada” e “8 foot up-and-go test”. A queda de AF foi definida a partir dos pontos de corte padronizados por Rikli & Jones (2013). Acrescentou-se a força de pressão manual como outra prova de AF. Resultados: a queda de AF foi mais frequente nos testes de “flexões de braços” e “força de pressão manual” (21,0% e 15,9% respectivamente) e a de menor diminuição foi “chair stand” com 7,4%. A AF diminuiu com o aumento da idade, apresentando diferenças significativas a partir dos 75 anos (p<0,05). Ser obeso associou-se a uma menor AF nos testes de 2-minutos de caminhada e “8-foot up-and-go test” (p<0,05). Conclusões: a força de membros superiores foi o parâmetro com menor desempenho, enquanto o aumento da idade e a condição de obesidade foram associadas à diminuição na AF. A avaliação da AF é uma ferramenta útil no diagnóstico do estado de saúde nos idosos. São necessárias outras pesquisas orientadas à padronização de pontos de corte associados à queda de AF na população espanhola.
