Resumo: | The aging process is continuous and irreversible and is characterized by physiological and structural alterations and changes in body composition. The aim of this study was to report anthropometric reference values for community-dwelling older adults from northeastern Brazil according to gender and age group. This cross-sectional study used data from an epidemiological population-based study involving 316 older adults. The following measures and anthropometric indicators were evaluated: weight, height, body mass index (BMI), triceps skinfold (TSF), waist circumference, arm circumference, calf circumference, and arm muscle circumference (AMC). All data are reported as means, standard deviations, and percentiles. Comparisons between age groups were performed using one-way ANOVA. The study included 173 women (54.7%) and 143 men (45.3%). Body weight and BMI were higher in younger women (60-64 years) compared to older ones (80 years or older). Arm circumference, TSF and AMC were lower in women aged ≥ 75 years compared to women aged 60-64 years. For men, arm circumference and AMC were lower in the oldest age group (≥ 80 years) compared to the youngest group (60 to 74 years). These differences were significant. The present study indicates that changes in body measures occur differently between genders with advancing age. The reduction in muscle mass and body fat is more prominent in women than in men and anthropometric changes are more noticeable in the older age group. |

O objetivo deste estudo foi apresentar valores antropométricos de referência para idosos residentes em comunidade do Nordeste do Brasil, de acordo com sexo e grupo etário. Trata-se de estudo descritivo, baseado em dados originados de uma pesquisa epidemiológica, de base populacional, envolvendo 316 idosos. Foram avaliadas as seguintes medidas e indicadores antropométricos: massa corporal, estatura, índice de massa corporal (IMC), dobra cutânea tricipital (DCT), perímetros da cintura, do braço e da panturrilha e a circunferência muscular do braço (CMB). Os dados foram apresentados como médias, desvios padrões e percentis. Comparações entre grupos etários foram realizadas por Anova one-way. Participaram do estudo 173 mulheres (54,7%) e 143 homens (45,3%). Os valores de massa corporal e IMC foram maiores nas mulheres de 60-64 anos, comparadas às mulheres com 80 anos e mais. Os valores do PB, DCT e da CMB foram menores nas mulheres de 75 anos e mais, comparadas às mulheres do grupo etário de 60-64 anos. Para os homens, os valores de PB e CMB foram menores nos indivíduos do grupo etário velhos (≥ 80 anos), comparado aos homens de 60 a 74 anos Essas diferenças foram significativas. Os resultados indicam a ocorrência de alterações nas dimensões corporais, distintas entre os sexos, com o avanço da idade. A redução da massa muscular e da gordura corporal é mais acentuada nas mulheres e as alterações antropométricas são mais perceptíveis no grupo etário mais velho.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.
