ABSTRACT
Abstract Excess time spent in sedentary activities may intensify functional losses among the elderly; however, information on the amount of time in sedentary activities related to these losses is still incipient. The aim of this study was to determine the predictive power of sedentary behavior (SB) and to establish cutoff points for functional disability (FD) discriminators in the elderly. A cross-sectional study was carried out with sample of 310 older adults with mean age of 71.62 ± 8.15 years, randomly selected and residents in the municipality of Ibicuí-BA. Sedentary behavior was assessed by measuring the time spent sitting on a usual week day and FD weekend and FD by the Lawton scale. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed and SB discriminant criterion for FD was determined. The areas under the curve showed that SB has reasonable potential to discriminate FD. The times spent in SB that best discriminated FD were > 330 minutes / day and > 270 minutes / day for men and women respectively. Time spent in SB is an important health indicator and can be used in the screening of FD in the elderly.
RESUMO
Resumo O excesso de tempo despendido em atividades sedentárias pode intensificar as perdas funcionais entre idosos, no entanto, ainda são incipientes as informações sobre a quantidade de tempo em atividades sedentárias relacionadas a essas perdas. Objetivou-se determinar o poder preditivo do comportamento sedentário (CS) e estabelecer seus pontos de corte como discriminadores da incapacidade funcional (IF) em idosos. Estudo transversal com amostra de 310 idosos com média de idade de 71,62 ± 8,15 anos, selecionados aleatoriamente e residentes no município de Ibicuí-BA. O comportamento sedentário foi avaliado por meio de mensuração do tempo gasto sentado em um dia habitual da semana e no fim de semana e a IF pela escala de Lawton. Foram construídas curvas Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) e determinado um critério discriminador do CS para IF. As áreas sobre a curva mostraram que o CS tem um razoável potencial para discriminar a IF. Os tempos em CS que melhor discriminaram a IF foram de >330 minutos/dia e >270 minutos/dia para homens e mulheres respectivamente. O tempo em CS é um indicador de saúde importante e poderá ser utilizado no rastreamento da IF de idosos.
