“…This triggers vulnerability to various burdensome factors and is aggravated by the manifestation of comorbidities that affect vital functions, thus decreasing their degree of independence and making them require support to have a better quality of life. 2 In the world report on aging and health provided by the World Health Organization in 2015, it is mentioned that in Europe the prevalence of frailty in adults between 50 and 64 years of age was 4.1% and increases to 17% from 65 years. Furthermore, it is assumed that frailty is more prevalent in low- and middle-income countries, with higher incidence in women and people with low socioeconomic status.…”

Introduction and objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused mental health problems worldwide. Older people have been particularly affected by the lockdown as their health conditions have changed, although they have been kept in isolation to avoid exposure to contagion. We sought to determine the association between lifestyles and anxiety in older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and methods: This study was cross-sectional. We enrolled 150 older adults of both sexes and with a history of chronic diseases from the municipality of El Agustino (Lima, Peru). The 20-item Geriatric Anxiety Scale and the 25-item Lifestyle Questionnaire on eating, physical activity, rest, and sleep were administered in Spanish during July–August 2021. Results: The mean age was 70.8 ± 8.1 years, 54.7% were male, and 75.3% practiced exercise. During the COVID-19 pandemic, 99.3% of the elderly had healthy lifestyles and 40% presented anxiety (mild, moderate, and severe anxiety in 26.7%, 8.7%, and 4.7%, respectively). We found no association between anxiety and lifestyle ( p = 0.189), physical exercise was a predictor of lifestyle ( p < 0.001) and we did not find predictors of anxiety symptoms ( p > 0.05). Conclusions: Our results suggest that there was no link between anxiety symptoms and lifestyle in older adults during the lockdown. It is important to conduct in-depth research on factors associated with anxiety symptoms among older residents in other regions, focusing on population groups with the highest rates of infection and death from COVID-19.

Background/Objectives: Aging leads to physiological changes influenced by lifestyle, environment, and genetics, increasing the risk of morbidity and mortality in older adults. COL1A1 gene encodes an essential protein in connective tissues, which is associated with musculoskeletal lesions. The interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene is a proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory regulator and has a greater predisposition to fractures and osteoporosis reported. In turn, these alterations are associated with a decrease in physical capacity, leading to a progressive loss of functionality and quality of life in older adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed to identify the relationship between physical condition as determined using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and the predisposition parameters for muscle and joint injuries in a population of 422 older adults, active and of ≥60 years. The variables evaluated were sociodemographic data, SPPB evaluation, and COL1A1 and IL-6 gene DNA extracted by buccal scraping. Results: SPPB total score was significantly correlated with age −0.07, weight −0.02, waist circumference −0.02, and body mass index −0.05 (p < 0.005). Conclusions: Regarding genetic variables, there were no significant differences. However, lower SPPB values were observed in the GG genotype and GT of COL1A1 when compared to the CC genotype and GC of IL-6.
