Abstract
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2014v16n5p504 The objective of this study was to describe and compare specific anthropometric indicators in older adults from Florianópolis who participated in two population-based studies conducted in 2002 and 2010. A total of 865 older adults in 2002, and 1,657 older adults in 2010 were assessed for weight, height, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). Significant increases in body weight of 3.0 kg for men and 4.9 kg for women were identified from 2002 to 2010 (P<0.05). The BMI also increased in both genders (+0.9 kg/m2 for men and +1.6 kg/m2 for women), while height increased only in women (+1.5 cm) (P<0.05). No significant differences were observed for WC or WHtR. BMI classification revealed an increase in the prevalence of overweight/obesity in both genders (P<0.05). However, when the subjects were classified based on WC and WHtR, no significant difference was observed between the two time points in either gender, highlighting the high percentage of older adults (> 70%) with inadequate WC and WHtR in 2002 as well as in 2010. The results suggest an increase in weight and BMI from 2002 to 2010 in older adults from Florianópolis. Furthermore, the prevalence of overweight/obesity characterized by BMI increased in women and men, whereas WC and WHtR remained unchanged between 2002 and 2010.
http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2014v16n5p504O objetivo do presente estudo foi descrever e comparar alguns indicadores antropométricos em idosos de Florianópolis em 2002 e em 2010, a partir de dois estudos populacionais. Para tanto, 865 idosos em 2002 e 1657 idosos em 2010, de ambos os sexos, foram avaliados quanto à massa corporal, estatura, índice de massa corporal (IMC), circunferência de cintura (CCint) e razão cintura estatura (RCEst). Acréscimos estatisticamente significantes de 3,0 e 4,9 kg no peso corporal foram identificados, respectivamente, para homens e mulheres, de 2002 para 2010 (P < 0,05). O IMC também aumentou em ambos os sexos (+0,9 kg/m2para homens e + 1,6 kg/m2 para as mulheres), enquanto a estatura aumentou apenas para as mulheres (+1,5 cm) (P<0,05). Para as variáveis CCint e RCEst não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significantes. A partir da classificação do IMC, observou-se aumento da prevalência de sobrepeso/obesidade em ambos os sexos (P<0,05). Entretanto, quando os sujeitos foram classificados a partir da CCint e da RCEst, nenhuma diferença estatisticamente significante foi observada entre os dois períodos do estudo, em nenhum dos gêneros, enfatizando a alta prevalência de idosos (> 70%) com CC e RCEst inadequadas, tanto em 2002 quanto em 2010. Os resultados sugerem que idosos de Florianópolis apresentaram aumento da massa corporal e IMC de 2002 para 2010; o percentual de idosos com sobrepeso/obesidade, classificados a partir do IMC, aumentou para ambos os sexos; e os indicadores CCint e RCEst não sofreram alterações de 2002 para 2010.
