Previous issue date: 2011-03-30 / Introducao: O envelhecimento bem sucedido e considerado o novo paradigma da gerontologia. A aptidao funcional e imprescindivel ao modelo de envelhecimento bem sucedido. Objetivo: Investigar as condicoes socioeconomicas e de saude e a relacao entre a aptidao funcional pelo American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD) e o envelhecimento bem sucedido em idosas inscritas no Programa Saude da Familia, em Maceio, entre 2008 e 2009. Metodo: O estudo aconteceu em Unidades Basicas de Saude com o Programa Saude da Familia, entre julho de 2008 e fevereiro de 2009. A populacao foi constituida por uma amostra aleatoria de mulheres com idades entre 60 ate 79 anos, inscritas no Programa Saude da Familia de Maceio. As variaveis estudadas foram: socioeconomicas, percepcao da saude, flexibilidade, agilidade e equilibrio dinamico e coordenacao (AAHPERD); morbidades autorreferidas, estado nutricional (indice de massa corporal e circunferencia da cintura); depressao (escala de depressao geriatrica .GDS- com 30 itens); nivel de aptidao fisica (International Physical Activity Questionnaire - IPAQ) e capacidade funcional (escala de Lawton). O tratamento de dados deu-se por estatistica descritiva, teste Qui-Quadrado, teste Exato de Fisher, teste t nao pareado de Student, coeficiente de correlacao gr h de Pearson, sendo considerados com nivel de significancia os valores de p<0,05. Resultados: Foram estudadas 268 idosas, com media de 66,68 anos de idade (DP+/-5,77). Houve maior proporcao de idosas na faixa de 60-69 anos (70,5%). Das comorbidades, a hipertensao arterial foi a mais prevalente (84,0%), seguida por artrite/reumatismo/artrose (56,7%) e diabetes mellitus (31,3%). Tinham sintomas de depressao leve ou moderada (escala de depressao geriatrica.11) 41,0%, foram classificadas com dependencia funcional 12,7% e foram consideradas sedentarias ou insuficientemente ativas 50,7% das idosas. Nos testes da AAHPERD tiveram avaliacao boa/muito boa em relacao a flexibilidade 76,1% da amostra, agilidade e equilibrio dinamico 34,7% e coordenacao 6,0%. Registrou-se 30,6% da amostra com aptidao funcional boa/muito boa. A aptidao funcional correlacionou-se com idade, anos de estudo, capacidade funcional e nivel de atividade fisica. Foram consideradas com envelhecimento bem sucedido 16,4% das idosas. A associacao entre ter envelhecimento bem sucedido e ausencia de hipertensao, diabetes, doencas do coracao e artrite/reumatismo/artrose foi significante. Conclusao: As idosas estudadas possuiam baixa escolaridade, baixa renda, com percepcao de saude regular a ruim. Houve elevado numero de morbidades autorreferidas, sendo a hipertensao arterial, artrite/reumatismo/artrose e diabetes mellitus as mais frequentes. Os componentes da aptidao funcional estudados correlacionaram-se com idade, escolaridade, capacidade funcional e nivel de atividade fisica e podem servir como parametro de avaliacao e seguimento na promocao do envelhecimento bem sucedido. / Introduction: The successful aging is considered the new gerontology paradigm. The functional fitness is imperative to the successful aging. Objective: investigate the socioeconomic and health conditions and the relation between the functional fitness by American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD) and successful aging in elderly female registered in the Family Health Program of Maceio, from 2008 to 2009. Method: The study took place in Primary Care Settings with Family Health Program, from July, 2008 to February, 2009. The population was a random sample of women from 60 until 79 years-old, registered in the Family Health Program of Maceio. The variables studied were: socioeconomic and health perception conditions, flexibility, agility and balance, coordination (AAHPERD), self-referred morbidities, nutritional status (body mass index and waist circumference); depression (geriatric depression scale-30); international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) and functional capacity (Lawton scale). The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, qui-Square test, Fisher fs exact test, non-pared t-test, correlation coefficient of Pearson, being considered of significant level the values of p<0.05. Results: 268 elderly women were analyzed with a mean of 66.68 years (DP+/-5.77). There were a higher proportion of women from 60 to 69 years (70.5%). Hypertension was more prevalent (84%), followed by arthritis/rheumatism/artrosis (56.7%) and diabetes (31.3%). Of the women, 41% have mild to moderate depression (Geriatric Depression Scale.11), 12.7% were classified with functional dependency and 50.7% were considered as sedentary or insufficiently actives. In the AAHPERD tests, 76.1% had good/very good evaluation related to flexibility, 34.7% for agility and dynamic balance and 6% for coordination. Of the sample, 30.6% were shown with good/very good functional fitness. This functional fitness was correlated to age, years of education, functional capacity and physical activity. 16.4% of the sample was considered for the successful aging model. The association among successful aging and lack of hypertension, diabetes, heart diseases and arthritis/rheumatism/artrosis were significant. Conclusion: The evaluated elderly female had low educational level, low income and had a regular to bad perception of health. There was a high level of self-referred morbidities, being the hypertension, arthritis/rheumatism/artrosis and diabetes as more frequent. The functional fitness measured by AAHPERD were related to age, educational level, functional capacity and level of physical activity and may work as a evaluation parameter and follow-up for successful aging. / TEDE / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações
