title: The low oxygen consumption is reflected on depression scores in elderly

description: The study aimed to investigate the effects of different types of exercise in indicative scores of depression in the elderly. Participated 168 elderly volunteers of both sexes, aged 60-75 years (65.66 ± 4.28 years), 40 women and 128 men. The volunteers were divided into seven distinct groups: a) Sedentary control (n = 40); b) Resisted control (n = 23); c) Walking (n = 23); d) Outdoor (n = 20); e) Cycle ergometer (n = 23); f) Resisted 50% of 1RM (n = 19); and g) Resisted 80% of 1RM (n = 20), and subjected to a protocol of six months of physical training three times a week. The group "a" remained without changing their routine activities during the study period and did not engage in any exercise program, as the group "b" appeared in the laboratory, but performed the exercises without charge. Before and immediately after the study period, the volunteers underwent an evaluation protocol for determination of oxygen consumption and responded to the Geriatric Depression Scale. The results revealed that the groups "c" and "e", who exercised at intensities with predominant aerobic metabolism, showed reduction in depression scores, and other measures were not sufficient to promote reduction in this variable. The data suggest that exercise dominance in aerobic metabolism is more effective in reducing depression scores in elderly.

title: Perceived control and quality of life: comparison between elderly living in nursing homes and in the community

description: INTRODUCTION: Perceived control is a psychosocial resource, which has been associated to quality of life and well-being. Quality of life is a subjective and multidimensional construct. Perceived control refers to beliefs of managing own life. Elderly living in nursing homes are generally subject to numerous restrictions that can affect their perceived control and quality of life. OBJECTIVE: To investigate perceptions of control - primary and secondary - and quality of life in elderly, in the city of Belém-PA, comparing the institutionalized ones with those living in the community, looking for association between these variables in these contexts of existence. This is an analytical study, observational, cross-sectional, in which 66 people aged between 60 and 96 years (21 men, 45 women; 33 institutionalized; 33 living in the community) were assessed through the instruments WHOQOL-OLD and ECOPSE. RESULTS: Significant differences (p≤0,05) between institutionalized elderly and the ones living in the community were found. Beliefs of being in control are associated to satisfaction with achievements and interests in both groups; however, the association between control and autonomy is found only among community residents. CONCLUSION: Living in the community favors perceived control and quality of life; perceived control is associated with quality of life in a great number of dimensions in the elderly living in the community, compared to institutionalized ones.

title: Functional capacity of institutionalized elderly with and without Alzheimer's disease

description: INTRODUCTION: The longevity of the population has brought about chronic nd degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. This disease emphasizes the physiological changes of aging, altering a person's ability to care for itself, producing great dependence. OBJECTIVE: To compare the functional capacity of institutionalized elderly people with and without Alzheimer's disease. METHODS: Cross-sectional study involving 201 elderly residents in four long-stay public institutions, divided into experimental group with 20 elderly patients with Alzheimer's disease, and control group with 181 subjects without the disease. We obtained demographic data and participants underwent functional evaluation by Barthel index. RESULTS: The majority of residents were female in both groups; the experimental group had higher age (p=0.002), shorter time to institutionalization (p=0.01) and were dependent (p=0.01), compared with subjects without the disease. CONCLUSION: The elderly institutionalized patients with Alzheimer's disease have lower functional capacity than elderly residents without the disease.

title: Schooling and its effects on literacy of elderly over 65 years

description: OBJECTIVE: This study analyzed the conditions of literacy of people aged at least 65, comparing these conditions among the elderly whose education level was compatible with higher education and those who do not. METHODS: We used a questionnaire and a reading test containing texts of various genres for 72 elderly over 65 years, living in the city of Curitiba-PR. The questionnaire included age, educational level and current practices in reading and writing. In the reading test, subjects were asked to find explicit and implicit information in four texts: a fable, a poster, a ticket and a newspaper. Data were categorized and analyzed using statistical analysis software Sphinx(r), and like inferential statistics were applied the significance tests of Fisher and chi-square. RESULTS: The study subjects had easy access to various reading materials, but the link to these materials was still lacking. Regardless of the level of education it was found the restricted use of practices related to written language, as both the elderly who have higher education, and those who do not have such training showed significant difficulties to extract information from simple texts. CONCLUSION: It is necessary to develop intervention activities that can work with written language, so that subjects in aging process can effectively insert themselves into the current society focused in the writing.

title: Environmental hazards and risk of fall in the elderly: systematic review

description: Falls in the elderly is the result of a complex interplay between intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Although it is difficult to separate these factors, studies indicate that environmental hazards are involved in approximately 40% of the falls. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review about the contribution of environmental hazards for falls in community-dwelling elderly. Studies published from January 2000 to May 2014 in the electronic databases MEDLINE, LILACS and SciELO were selected. Only free full-text articles written in English, Portuguese and Spanish were considered for this research. After title, abstract and full text analysis, ten articles were included in this review. In the studies analyzed, approximately half of the falls occurred during walk and involved tripping and slipping. The environmental risk factors are present in falls (20-58%), in which irregular surfaces, wet/slippery floors, objects/loose rugs and uneven floor/steps were the most prevalent hazards among the studies. There was tendency of increase in the occurrence of outdoor falls, which are often caused by extrinsic factors. More studies are needed to characterize and develop strategies to prevent outdoor falls among community-dwelling older adults.

title: Analysis of the scientific production of the Brazilian Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology: a bibliometric review

description: OBJECTIVE: To describe and analyze the profile of publications of the Brazilian Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology (RBGG) between years 2006 to 2013. METHOD: This is a survey of literature review, descriptive type with bibliometric analysis of scientific production of RBGG. Data collection was performed by three trained investigators. The editorial staff was contacted via e-mail to get information regarding the number of manuscripts received, rejected and accepted. RESULTS: It published a total of 400 articles, of which 301 (75.3%) were original articles and 42 (10.5%) reviews. Most studies (95.1%) were published by Brazilian authors, most of whom are from the Southeast (43.4%) and South (26.8%), concentrated in the states of São Paulo (19.8%), Rio Grande do Sul (15.6%) and Rio de Janeiro (12.0%). Most works had quantitative approach and the most frequent type of study is the cross-sectional (45.9%), followed by literature review (13.7%) and a number of observational cases (10.7%). There was an increase in time of publication between 2006 and 2011, followed by stability until 2013. The most common themes were related to the psychological aspects of aging, physical activity and nutrition. CONCLUSIONS: There has been observed continuing increase in the number of papers received and published in RBGG in this period. The production is focused mainly in the universities at the national scope in the Southeastern and Southern regions. A wide range of topics was also identified.

title: Nursing consultation to the elderly in primary health care: a literature integrative review

description: It is a literature integrative review that aimed to identify the theoretical and methodological approaches used in the elderly nursing consultation in primary care. This survey covered the following bibliographic databases: Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Bases de Dados em Enfermagem (BDENF), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and PubMed, from 2002 to 2011. We analyzed five items related to the study topic, which suggested both the need to establish a nurse-elderly link and the need for nurses to kknow about aging to carry out qualified health care. Another relevant point is the accumulation of activities performed by nurses. Due to that overload, they have difficulties to devote themselves to the duties of their specific job category, for example, nursing consultation. Given the literature searches, we believe that the scientific production about the nursing consultation for the elderly in the context of primary health care is still incipient.

title: MoCa predictive power in neuropsychological assessment of patients with dementia

description: This study aimed to correlate neuropsicometric tests in elderly over 4 years of schooling and assess MoCA accuracy in diagnosing Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It evaluated 136 elderly patients treated at the Institute of Geriatrics and Gerontology, from April 2010 to December 2012. The instruments used were the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Cambridge Cognitive Examination (CAMCOG), Clock Drawing Test (CDT), Verbal Fluency test, Geriatric Depression Scale, Pfeffer Functional Activities Questionnaire (PFAQ), and Montreal Cognitive Assessement (MoCA). ROC curve analysis was used to establish cutoffs and the Pearson correlation coefficient to compare the MoCA with the other tests. The results showed that the MoCA was the best test to differentiate Alzheimer's disease from MCI. The sensitivity and specificity found were 82.2% and 92.3%, respectively. The analysis of the correlation test showed that MoCA is strongly correlated with other tests already validated and wide applied in Brazil. The MoCA test showed the greatest predictive value to differentiate AD from MCI and also differ MCI from normal controls. Furthermore, MoCA was significantly correlated with the age variable and MMSE, CAMCOG, CDT, Verbal Fluency and PFAQ tests, instruments that are already validated and widely used in Brazil.
