Physical activity and sedentary behavior in elderly in social groups: is there a difference because of the risk of sarcopenia?

Keywords: Aging, Health promotion, Motor activity, Sarcopenia

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze whether the frequency and duration of physical activity and sedentary behavior interfere with the risk of sarcopenia in elderly attending social groups. Cross-sectional study to evaluate 207 elderly people attending social groups in the municipality of Sarandi, state of Paraná. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the SARC-F were used. Data were analyzed using inferential statistics (p<0.05). The prevalence of elderly people with active level of physical activity (93.2%) and no risk of sarcopenia (75.8%) was observed. Elderly people at risk of sarcopenia spend more time sitting on weekdays than elderly people with no risk of sarcopenia (p=0.043). Duration and frequency of physical activity do not affect the risk of sarcopenia. However, the risk of sarcopenia is associated with sedentary behavior of the elderly.
