| Popis: | Objective To identify the cognitive profile of the elderly and its association with anthropometric and functional aspects. Methodology It is a cross-sectional study conducted in 84 elderly. Measured up the following anthropometric variables: body weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference for subsequent calculation of the conicity index, waist/hip ratio and waist/height ratio. Furthermore, the functional aspects were measured based on the battery of tests adapted from Functional Fitness Test and cognitive impairment using the Mini Mental State Examination. Results Dementia was found in 7% of the elderly, with no difference between genders. The waist/height ratio above 0.67 cm increased by 5.6 times the chance to develop dementia, while the balance showed a protective factor (15% less likely). Conclusion There was a low prevalence of dementia, the Waist Circumference and Hip Circumference indexes demonstrated a predictive capacity for dementia while the balance pattern was considered a protective factor. |
