Resumo: | Older adults present changes in energy metabolism that result in an increase of body fat and a decrease of muscle mass and height, leading to alterations in the position of the center of gravity (CG) and consequent falls. The objective of the present study was to compare the percent CG height and the number of falls (NF) over the last 12 months between active and sedentary older adults and to correlate them with anthropometric variables (body weight, height and BMI). The sample consisted of 102 men and women ranging in age from 60 to 84 years, including 64 active and 38 sedentary subjects. Anthropometric variables, NF, level of physical activity of sedentary subjects, and percent CG height were evaluated and the mean and standard deviation were calculated. Correlations between variables were estimated using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The percent CG height was 57.54 ± 2.57% in active subjects and 57.47 ± 1.94% in sedentary subjects. No significant correlations were observed between percent CG height and anthropometric variables or NF in either group. In conclusion, older adults present a CG above the physiological value (55%). No significant association was observed between percent CG height, anthropometric variables and NF. |

Os objetivos do presente estudo foram: identificar a altura percentual do CG e o número de quedas (NQ) sofridas pelos idosos nos últimos 12 meses, compará-los entre o grupo de idosos ativos e sedentários e correlacioná-los com as variáveis antropométricas (massa corporal, estatura e IMC). A amostra foi composta por 102 idosos de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 60 e 84 anos, entre eles, 64 ativos e 38 sedentários. Foram avaliados dados antropométricos, NQ, nível de atividade física dos idosos sedentários e altura percentual do CG. Foram realizados cálculos de média e desvio padrão e as correlações entre as variáveis foram verificadas através da aplicação do Coeficiente de Correlação de Pearson. Identificou-se que a altura percentual do CG dos idosos ativos encontra-se a 57,54% ± 2,57% e dos idosos sedentários a 57,47% ± 1,94% de sua altura, não foram observadas correlações significativas da altura percentual do CG com nenhuma das variáveis antropométricas e com NQ nos idosos de ambos os grupos. Pode-se concluir que os idosos apresentam valor do CG acima do considerado fisiológico (55%), não houve associação significativa entre a altura percentual do CG, as variáveis antropométricas e o NQ.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.
