Resumo: | The purpose of the present study was to present the morphological profile of elderly women from different age groups. The sample was made of 1,016 women, with age greater than 60 years. The following anthropometric variables were measured: body mass, height, circumferences and skin folds and percent body fat was calculated. The mean values of the variables body mass, height, body mass index, circumferences and skin folds decreased in the younger women group when they were compared to the oldest women. More expressive declines occurred in arm, midthigh, and medial calf circumferences, indicating a possible smaller muscle mass in older populations. Despite the fact that the body mass index mean values classify elderly women, predominantly, as overweight, it seems that the individuals that reach older age are those that present less body fatness. It´s suggested that future studies investigate these modifications in different populations, as elderly men. |

A amostra foi constituída de 1016 indivíduos do sexo feminino, com idade superior a 60 anos. Foram mensuradas as seguintes variáveis antropométricas: massa corporal, estatura e circunferências, dobras cutâneas e posterior cálculo do percentual de gordura. Os valores médios das variáveis: massa corporal, estatura, índice de massa corporal, circunferências e dobras cutâneas das mulheres mais jovens reduziram, quando comparadas às mais idosas. Os declínios mais expressivos ocorreram nas circunferências de braço, coxa média e panturrilha medial, indicando, possivelmente, uma menor massa muscular em populações mais idosas. Apesar dos valores médios do índice de massa corporal classificar em as mulheres idosas, predominantemente, com sobrepeso, parece que os indivíduos que alcançam as idades mais avançadas são aqueles que apresentam menor adiposidade corporal. Sugere-se que futuros estudos busquem investigar essas modificações em diferentes populações, como os idosos do sexo masculino.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Florianópolis, SC.
