The results indicated that elderly with adequate functional fitness showed more likely to be in the higher third of quality of life variables and their domains in the assessment of WHOQOL-BREF (ranging between 1,21 to 1,49) and WHOQOL-OLD (ranging between 1,18 to 1,49).

RESUMO
RESUMO Com o crescimento constante da população idosa torna-se necessário a discussão sobre os aspectos relacionados a aptidão funcional, uma vez que essa pode interferir no envelhecimento saudável. O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar a associação entre aptidão funcional e qualidade de vida em 1737 idosas participantes de um programa de atividade física de Curitiba, Paraná, Brasil. Foi aplicado o Questionário sociodemográfico, a versão curta do International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), e os questionários de qualidade de vida WHOQOL-BREF e WHOQOL-OLD. Também foi aplicado a bateria de testes de aptidão funcional "Senior Fitness Test" (SFT). Foi utilizado a análise descritiva das variáveis e o Modelo de regressão logística ordinal para verificar as associações entre as variáveis de aptidão funcional e os domínios da qualidade de vida por meio do software STATA 13.0 MP, com significância de p<0,05. Os resultados indicaram que idosas com aptidão funcional adequada apresentaram mais chances de estarem no tercil mais alto da qualidade de vida e domínios na avaliação do WHOQOL-BREF (variando entre 1,21 a 1,49) e WHOQOL-OLD (variando de 1,18 até 1,60). Os resultados apontaram que uma melhor aptidão funcional apresenta-se positivamente associada a percepção positiva da qualidade de vida e de seus domínios em idosas.
