“…The high prevalence of excessive TSF in the elderly evidenced in this study differs from results obtained in other studies that verified high prevalence of insufficient TSF in the elderly 5,18 . This divergence evidences the specificity of certain physical characteristics, whether by regional or local issues; thus requiring individualized attention that aims to monitor the nutritional status of older adults enrolled in the Family Health Strategy of the city of Campina Grande/PB, since TSF is an evaluation variable that, when in excess, is a risk factor for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.…”

“…Regarding anthropometric variables, it was observed that overweight / obese individuals in this study were more likely of being dissatisfied with their body image compared to those with normal weight. This result is similar to that of other studies with older adults who found greater body image dissatisfaction among obese participants 2,14,19 .…”

“…A study with 179 women with mean age of 45 years and BMI > 30 kg/ m 2 found that women with BMI > 40 kg/m 2 expressed greater body image dissatisfaction and low self-esteem 15 . Although studies show association between body image satisfaction / dissatisfaction and nutritional status, a consensus on this association cannot yet be established due to personal factors that interfere in their self-assessment, from physiological and socioeconomic changes to changes in family structures and distribution of resources in society 14 .…”

“…Possible disturbances in body perception can be investigated based on the relationship of body image perception and anthropometric indicators and body composition 4 . Studies have shown that the real body classification is proportional to the body mass index value 1,5 .

Aging leads to psychological losses and various physical changes that, associated with body-stereotyped patterns imposed by society, can cause disturbances in the body image perception (BIP) in the elderly. The aim of this study was to evaluate BIP in older adults living in the city of Campina Grande / PB and its relationship with different anthropometric and body composition indicators. This cross-sectional study was carried out with older adults of both sexes enrolled in the Family Health Strategy of Campina Grande, PB. BIP was considered as a dependent variable and body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), triceps skinfold (TSF), and arm fat area (AFA) as independent variables. The association between BIP and anthropometric indicators was verified using the Pearson chi-square test (X²), simple and multiple logistic regression, with significance level of p <0.05. Overall, 420 older adults were interviewed (68.1% women), of whom 409 reported their actual body image perception. Regarding the perception of idealized body image, 11 individuals did not respond and 230 were satisfied, since 179 desired another silhouette. Individuals with BMI indicative of overweight / obesity were more likely of showing body image dissatisfaction compared to those with normal weight. Subjects with excessive TSF showed greater body image dissatisfaction in relation to those with normal weight. Women were more likely of showing body image dissatisfaction. Thus, it was observed that variables BMI, TSF and sex were independently associated with body image satisfaction.

The article aims to analyze risk factors that increase weaknesses in residents of Long-Term Care Institutions for the Elderly. The study is characterized as an integrative literature review that consisted of six stages: definition of the theme and formulation of the guiding question; establishment of inclusion and exclusion criteria; definition of descriptors; pre-selection of articles; evaluation of selected studies; and presentation of the review. Sixteen studies were reviewed, between the years 2016 to 2019, based on the search in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), LILACS and Pubmed databases using as descriptors Elderly, Long Term Care Institution for the Elderly, frailty, malnutrition, depression, accidents due to falls. According to evidence from these studies, depression stands out among the risk factors that increase weaknesses in institutionalized elderly people, which may be associated with the institutionalization time, self-perceived health and quality of sleep. There was also a prevalence of malnutrition in this group of elderly people, as well as an increased risk of falls, which may be related to the individual's psychological health and impaired nutritional status. Such factors considerably affect the health condition and quality of life of this population. It appears that knowledge about the main risk factors that increase weaknesses in institutionalized elderly people is of paramount importance for the application of preventive actions, aiming to preserve their health.

Background: Excess body fat has been growing alarmingly among adolescents, especially in low income and middle income countries where access to health services is scarce. Currently, the main method for assessing overweight in adolescents is the body mass index, but its use is criticized for its low sensitivity and high specificity, which may lead to a late diagnosis of comorbidities associated with excess body fat, such as cardiovascular diseases. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop a computational model using linear regression to predict obesity in adolescents and compare it with commonly used anthropometric methods. To improve the performance of our model, we estimated the percentage of fat and then classified the nutritional status of these adolescents. Methods: The model was developed using easily measurable socio-demographic and clinical variables from a database of 772 adolescents of both genders, aged 10–19 years. The predictive performance was evaluated by the following metrics: accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under ROC curve. The performance of the method was compared to the anthropometric parameters: body mass index and waist-to-height ratio. Results: Our model showed a high correlation (R = 0.80) with the body fat percentage value obtained through bioimpedance. In addition, regarding discrimination, our model obtained better results compared to BMI and WHtR: AUROC = 0.80, 0.64, and 0.55, respectively. It also presented a high sensitivity of 92% and low false negative rate (6%), while BMI and WHtR showed low sensitivity (27% and 9.9%) and a high false negative rate (65% and 53%), respectively. Conclusions: The computational model of this study obtained a better performance in the evaluation of excess body fat in adolescents, compared to the usual anthropometric indicators presenting itself as a low cost alternative for screening obesity in adolescents living in Brazilian regions where financial resources are scarce.
