title: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND PREVALENCE OF FALLS AMONG ELDERLY LIVING IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL

description: Abstract This study aimed to investigate the relation between the physical activities level and falls prevalence among elderly people in the city of Florianopolis, state of Santa Catatina, Brazil. It is an epidemiological , cross-sectional and descriptive study, carried out in the city of Florianópolis, Brazil. The sampling, of statistical type and stratified by census section and sex, resulted in a sample of 875 senior citizens. The instruments adopted for data collection were the Questionnaire Brazil Old Age Schedule (BOAS) and the International Questionnaire of Physical Activities (IPAQ) long version. Results pointed out that 59.3% of seniors were considered more active ones. Seniors who suffered falls during the period of three months before the interview reached the amount of 11.4% and most of them were more active people. There was statistical association between falls and the variables: problems in the feet (p=0,002) and articulations (p=0,006). It concludes that it is necessary to prevent falls and, at the same time, to stimulate physical activities free from risks for the elderly population.

title: INVESTIGATION OF THE CORPORAL BALANCE IN ELDERLY PEOPLE

description: ABSTRACT As people grow old, the human body undergoes for a long period of changes that cause a decline in some physical abilities, such as balance. This study aimed to compare the corporal balance of adult people who practice hydrogymnastics and sedentary elderly people in different support basis, with visual manipulation. It assessed 20 elderly people who practice hydrogymnastics and 15 sedentary adults. The balance was collected through a force platform AMTI. The support basis studied were feet together, feet in the width of the hip and right foot with anterior spacing. The time of data collection was 10 seconds for each attempt, in a 100 Hz frequency . For data comparison it used the t test with 5% of significance level . When comparing the hydrogymnastics and sedentary groups, there was no statistically meaningful difference in the variables in the three positions of support basis, with and without visual information, except for the variable amplitude of displacement of the pressure center in the medium-lateral direction, with feet together and open eyes. When the visual information was manipulated, individuals from both groups presented statistically meaningful difference for most variables, thus, calling attention for the importance of visual information for elderly people, even if they are physically active. It is possible to infer, through these results, that hydrogymnastics is recommended for elderly people, since they were not different from the younger individuals in relation to the corporal balance. However, hydrogymnastics did not seem to favor improvements in the use of the visual system.

title: Effect of aerobic physical exercise on the lipid profile in type 2 diabetic elderly women attended in a basic health unit in Maringá, Paraná State, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT This study aims to evaluate the influence of a physical exercise program on the lipid profile in type 2 diabetic elderly women. The patients were selected from a Basic Unit of Health (Mandacaru - NIS II, Maringá, Paraná), that attends 200 type 2 diabetic subjects. Among these patients, 40 women aged 60 years or more were randomically selected. The sample was distributed in two groups of 20 patients each: the Trained Group (TG), that received nutritional instructions and participated in supervised sessions of aerobic physical exercise; Control Group (CG), that received only nutritional instructions. The exercises were applied three times a week, one hour each session. Results showed that the adopted protocol promoted a significant reduction in triglycerides levels (pre-test = 190 ± 76,67 and post-test = 125,33 ± 45,82 mg/dL, p&lt;0,05) and also in the LDL-cholesterol (pre-test = 147,98 ± 29,98 and post-test = 122,24 ± 17,61 mg/dL, p&lt;0,05) for the TG. Therefore, we concluded that the adopted exercise program improved the lipid profile in type 2 diabetic elderly women , showing the importance of practicing oriented physical activity in health primary units.

title: Balance and gait of elderly people at retirement homes in Catanduva city, SP, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT This paper aims to evaluate balance and gait in elderly people who live at retirement homes and to characterize alterations in balance and walk according to sex, age, vision and hearing. The research, of descriptive type and transversal character, was conducted at Catanduva city’s retirement homes, with elderly people of both sexes. Firstly, the elderly answered a questionnaire with information about identification and health conditions. Balance and gait were evaluated through Tinetti Balance and Gait Scales. One hundred and five elders were evaluated, being 62 (59%) women and 43 (41%) men, aged between 60 to 97 years, being 79,2 ± 9,7 years to females and 73,2 ± 9,3 years to males. There was association between balance and gait’s difficulty and female sex (p=0,003); age (p=0,004) and vision’s difficulty (p=0,008). There was no difference between balance and gait and hearing disability. According to the results, the conclusion is that in Catanduva city’s retirement homes balance and gait disability are associated with age, female sex and vision disability.

title: Safety evaluation in the use of fitness equipment by the elderly

description: Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the safety of elders during the use of fitness equipment. Ninety subjects were interviewed, 64 women (71.11%) and 26 men (28.89%). Data were collected through a questionnaire. Answers were treated with frequency analysis and then compared by Qui-squared test (a = 0.05), allowing to conclude that fitness practice’s primary goal was to improve health conditions (60.83%), and hydro-gymnastics was the second activity that most interested subjects (80.00%). Among the subjects, 54.44% reported some difficulty to use equipments, particularly treadmill, leg press, extensor chair, machine chest press and pulley. Despite that, subjects were familiarized with equipments, and 87.78% of them declared feeling safe or completely safe using the machines and expressing no need for human help or any object support during the entry, execution or exit of all machines. Among the most recurrent health conditions, articulation conditions and diverse (cardiovascular, respiratory and diabetes) showed the highest frequency (34.86% and 38.53%, respectively). Results did not keep correspondence with the observed behavior, and this bias may express the personal teacher-student relation, defining answers that protected the physical education professor.

title: Evolution of the comprehensive level of the Quoridor game: a comparison between elderly women and adolescents

description: ABSTRACT The cognitive aspects related to ageing need a more thorough investigation, in view of the need of creating preventive or maintenance strategies for an active and healthy ageing. This research aimed to compare the evolution of the comprehension level of a game of rules between elderly women and adolescents. Two groups of four participants for each age group were formed: one aged 65-75 years, and the other, 16-17 years. The study was based on Piaget’s theory. As an instrument for investigation, the Quoridor game was used. Throughout four stages, the participants had the opportunity to play amongst adversaries of the same age group, besides being individually interviewed so as to position themselves before problem-situations. The analysis criteria were established from levels of comprehension about the game – from the lowest to the highest one: I, II/A, II/B,III/A,III/B. Results indicated that two elderly women and two adolescents reached the II/B level; an elderly woman did not evolve on the comprehension level, remaining on level I; two adolescents reached the II/B level, and an elderly woman, the III/A. Thus, the highest level was obtained by an elderly woman, contrary to the assumption that cognitive decline is inevitable among young elders, and that an elder shall always have a worse performance than that of an adolescent. When it comes to cognitive aspects, many are the factors evolved, and the age group alone does not guarantee just how much a subject may develop himself.

title: ISIMIP3a N-fertilizer input data

description: The Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP) provides a framework for the collation of a consistent set of climate impact data across sectors and scales. It also provides a unique opportunity for considering interactions between climate change impacts across sectors through consistent scenarios.<br>The ISIMIP3a part of the third simulation round is dedicated to i) impact model evaluation and improvement and ii) detection and attribution of observed impacts according to the framework of IPCC AR5 Working Group II Chapter 18. To this end all simulations are driven by observed socio-economic information combined with either observed (factual) climate data or a detrended (counterfactual) version of the observed climate allowing for the generation of a “no climate change” baseline.<br>We provide the nitrogen fertilization rate per our five canonical crop types, i.e. for both annual and perennial C3 and C4 crops, as well as for nitrogen fixing crops. In particular, this describes the application of industrial, mineral nitrogen. The data are provided on an annual times step on the land surface of a global 0.5° × 0.5° grid. The units are kilograms per year and per hectare.<br>Data is available for the historical time period: 1850-2021.<br>Version 1.1 of this dataset adds the 1901soc scenario with fixed year-1901 direct human influences.<br>Version 1.2 adds data for the years 2020 and 2021.
description: The fertilization rates are based on the harmonized land use dataset by Hurtt, G. et al. (2020, see also https://luh.umd.edu). They used different sources, please read their manuscript for of further information. <br>The data was extended to 2019-2021 by using the values for 2018.
