Resumo: *** Clinical and anthropometric profile of elderly outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus ***AIMS: to evaluate the clinical and anthropometric profile of elderly diabetic outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on male and female elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated at the nutrition/diabetes outpatient clinic of the Center for Senior Health (Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil). Data on gender, age, time of diagnosis of diabetes, body mass index, physical activity, and concomitant chronic non-communicable diseases were retrieved from the clinic’s database and from patient files.RESULTS: A total of 244 elderly patients were assessed, 82.4% of whom were female. Mean age was 69.7±7 years, with a predominance of individuals aged between 60 and 74 years (76.2%). One hundred forty-seven patients (60.2%) had been diagnosed with diabetes for less than 5 years, 183 (75%) had systemic hypertension, 115 (47.1%) had dyslipidemia, and 129 (52.9%) lived a sedentary lifestyle. According to body mass index evaluation, 147 patients (60.2%) were overweight. By evaluating the association of demographic, clinical, and anthropometric variables and physical activity with overweight, there was a statistically significant association only with hypertension.CONCLUSIONS: Hypertension, overweight, and sedentary lifestyle were highly frequent in this sample of elderly diabetic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, there was an association between overweight and hypertension. Healthcare strategies need to be developed to stimulate lifestyle changes among elderly patients in order to prevent and control the complications related to these morbidities.

Foram coletados do banco de dados do ambulatório e dos prontuários: sexo, faixa etária, tempo de diagnóstico do diabetes, índice de massa corporal, prática de atividade física e presença de outras doenças crônicas não transmissíveis.RESULTADOS: Participaram do estudo 244 idosos, sendo que 82,4% eram mulheres. A média de idade foi de 69,7±7 anos e houve predominância da faixa etária de 60 a 74 anos (76,2%). A maior parte dos pacientes, 147 (60,2%), possuía o diagnóstico de diabetes há menos de cinco anos; 183 (75%) eram portadores de hipertensão arterial sistêmica; 115 (47,1%) apresentavam dislipidemia; 129 (52,9%) eram sedentários. Em relação à avaliação antropométrica pelo índice de massa corporal, 147 (60,2%) apresentavam excesso de peso. Avaliando a associação entre as variáveis demográficas, clínicas, antropométricas e a prática de atividade física com a ocorrência de excesso de peso, só foi evidenciada associação estatisticamente significante entre excesso de peso e hipertensão arterial. Entre os indivíduos hipertensos, 66,7% apresentavam excesso de peso, versus 41,0% de excesso de peso entre os normotensos (p<0,001).CONCLUSÕES: Observou-se elevada frequência de hipertensão arterial sistêmica, excesso de peso e sedentarismo nessa amostra de pacientes idosos com diabetes mellitus tipo 2, além de associação entre excesso de peso e hipertensão arterial sistêmica. Estratégias de cuidado de saúde precisam ser desenvolvidas para estimular mudanças no estilo de vida dos pacientes idosos, com o objetivo de prevenir e controlar as complicações relacionadas às morbidades dessa faixa etária.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2017-07-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/scientiamedica/article/view/2661610.15448/1980-6108.2017.3.26616Scientia Medica; Vol. 27 No. 3 (2017); ID26616Scientia Medica; v. 27 n. 3 (2017); ID266161980-61081806-556210.15448/1980-6108.2017.3reponame:Scientia Medica (Porto Alegre.
