Resumo: | The aim of this study was to evaluate the anthropometric variables of elderly people in Fortaleza. This is a populational, cross-sectional household-based study with collection of primary data. The anthropometric variables analyzed were: body mass index (BMI), triceps skinfold thickness (TST) and arm muscle circumference (AMC). Nutritional status was defined from the anthropometrics variables and diagnosed as: eutrophic (elderly whose BMI,TST and AMC simultaneous measures was identified as eutrophic) and non-eutrophic (other elderly people). The sample for the study was composed of 385 selected dwellings, at which 483 elderly people were interviewed (68% of them women). As regards BMI, 47.3% of the elderly concerned were considered eutrophic. A higher proportion of the women had excessive BMI (21.9%) than the men (13.5%). There was a statistically significant association between BMI adequation and sex. The TST measurements indicated that 54.4% of the elderly were eutrophic. No statistically significant association was noted between TST adequation and sex. As for AMC, the men presented a higher prevalence of desnutrition (66.5%) than the women (40.6%). A statistically significant association between AMC adequation and sex was found. With respect to nutritional status, it was observed that 83.9% of the men and 74.2% of the women were classified as non-eutrophic. There was a statistically significant association between nutritional status and sex. The elderly population of Fortaleza exhibit a vulnerable nutritional status in view of the prevalence of non-eutrophic individuals. |

Este estudo é de base populacional, do tipo transversal, com coleta de dados primários. As variáveis antropométricas analisadas foram: índice de massa corporal (IMC), dobra cutânea tricipital (DCT) e circunferência muscular do braço (CMB). O estado nutricional foi definido a partir dos diagnósticos obtidos com a análise das variáveis antropométricas: eutrófico (idoso, no qual as três variáveis antropométricas (IMC, DCT e CMB), simultaneamente, indicassem o estado de eutrofia, segundo os padrões adotados) e não eutrófico (demais idosos). Foram selecionados 385 domicílios para comporem a amostra deste estudo, nos quais foram entrevistados 483 idosos (68% mulheres). Quanto ao IMC, 47,3% do total de idosos foram considerados eutróficos. As mulheres apresentaram maior proporção de valores de IMC excessivo (21,9%), quando comparadas aos homens (13,5%). Foi verificada associação estatisticamente significativa entre adequação de IMC e sexo. Os valores de DCT mostraram que 54,4% do total de idosos eram eutróficos. Não houve associação estatisticamente significativa entre a adequação da DCT e sexo. Quanto à CMB, os homens apresentaram maior prevalência de desnutrição (66,5%), quando comparados às mulheres (40,6%). Foi verificada associação estatisticamente significativa entre adequação da CMB e sexo. Ao verificar o estado nutricional por meio das variáveis antropométricas, observou-se que 83,9% dos homens foram considerados não eutróficos, assim como maior parte das mulheres (74,2%). Foi observada associação estatisticamente significativa entre estado nutricional e sexo. Os idosos de Fortaleza apresentam estado nutricional vulnerável, visto as prevalências de não eutróficos.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Florianópolis, SC.
