“…In our study as well as in others (11,17), there was a predominance of females both in the control and the intervention group. This fact can be confirmed in accordance with the studies of (18,19), which found that in Brazil there is a higher prevalence of elderly women and that this difference increases within the aging process.…”

Introduction: Pilates as physical exercise practice brings countless benefits, such as improvement of motor aptitudes and skills. Objective: To look into the effect of the Pilates method on the hip and shoulder girdle flexibility levels in the elderly. Methods: Experimental study composed of 30 elderly subjects of the control group and 30 of the Pilates group within a 12 week training time. A form was used to characterize the sample and to assess hip flexibility and shoulder girdle. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used, under a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: On hip flexibility, the 30 elderly individuals from the control group remained under normal and inferior classification, not presenting any differences between the variables (p = 0.180) from the pretest to the retest. In the intervention group, 60% of the elderly subjects were assessed as normal. In the retest, such percentage increased to 66.7%. In the pretest, 10% of the elderly subjects were given the superior classification, and in the retest, it increased to 33%, not presenting significance between the variables (p = 0.180). On shoulder flexibility in the intervention group, 63% of the elderly subjects were graded as normal, and 17% as superior. In the shoulder retest the number of elderly individuals

“…In addition to the subjective aspects (perception), studies highlight objective predictors that influence SWB, among them, perceived health [3][4][5] . It is believed that this influence does not derive only from what elderly people feel physically, but from their perception of health or perceived health (PH).…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between subjective well-being, functional independence and lowerlimb performance (muscle strength, gait velocity and balance) among elderly people undergoing outpatient follow-up, stratified by sex and age groups. Methods: We evaluated 125 elderly people, aged 60 years and over, who received care at a geriatric outpatient clinic. The instruments used were: 1) Functional Independence Measure (FIM) to evaluate functional dependence; 2) Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) to measure physical performance; and 3) Subjective Well-Being (SWB) with questions about health and satisfaction with life. Results: A convenience sample was used, with predominance of females (who had greater functional impairment).The Spearman correlation coefficients for subjective well-being and the performance tests varied from -0.16 to 0.31 for men and -0.09 to 0.29 for women, therefore there were no differences between the sexes. However, the older participants had a higher level of satisfaction than the younger participants. Perceived health was also more satisfactory among the older participants, however comparative perceived health was better among the elderly participants with moderate to good physical performance. Conclusion:The results suggest that older individuals have greater satisfaction with life and better perceived health. Moreover, good physical performance was an important variable for better perceived health when compared to other people.Key words: functional capacity; subjective well-being; perceived health; elderly person. ResumoObjetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar a relação entre o bem-estar subjetivo, independência funcional e desempenho de membros inferiores (força muscular, velocidade de marcha e equilíbrio) de idosos em seguimento ambulatorial, em relação ao sexo e a grupos etários. Métodos: Foram avaliados 125 idosos de ambos os sexos com idade mínima de 60 anos, atendidos em um ambulatório de geriatria. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: 1) Medida da Independência Funcional (MIF) para avaliar a dependência funcional; 2) Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) para medir o desempenho físico; 3) Bem-Estar Subjetivo (BES): questões sobre a saúde e satisfação com a vida. Resultados: A amostra utilizada foi de conveniência, com predomínio do sexo feminino, que apresentou maior comprometimento funcional. As correlações do bem-estar subjetivo com o teste de desempenho não demonstraram diferenças entre os sexos, contudo os idosos mais velhos apresentaram maior nível de satisfação que os idosos mais jovens. A saúde percebida também foi mais satisfatória entre os idosos mais velhos. Entretanto, a saúde percebida comparada mostrou melhores resultados nos idosos com moderado a bom desempenho físico. Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem que indivíduos mais velhos apresentam maior satisfação com a vida e melhor saúde percebida. Além disso, o bom desempenho físico foi uma variável de relevância para melhor saúde percebida quando comparada...

“…The financial status of the elderly interferes directly in their daily life and thus in their perception of quality of life: better socioeconomic status is associated with better quality of life in the elderly, as observed in a study of elders in pain 44 . However, this association is not always seen 47 . Still, given the strong and wellknown association between these variables, the authors reported that lack of association may have been due to the geopolitical characteristics of the city where the data were collected (a predominantly rural setting with low cost of living and satisfactory health services).…”
