This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Objective. To analyze the relationship between health conditions and weight changes among the elderly, SABE Survey, over a period of ten years. Methods. Longitudinal study that followed (2000-baseline, 2006 and 2010) the change in body weight (outcome variable) and associated health conditions (exposure variables) in the elderly (n=571); multinomial logistic regression analyzes were employed. Results. The average weight increase in the evaluated period was 29.0%. 34.0% (2006) and 12.5% (2010) lost weight and 18.2% (2006) and 39.9% (2010) gained weight. The prevalence of chronic diseases increased from 34.1% (2000) to 51.9% (2006) and 60.1% (2010). Older people with weight gain also rated their overall health worse in 2006 (RR3.15; 95%CI 1.21;8.17) and 2010 (RR2.46; 95%CI 1.02;5.94). The highest number of diseases (RR2.12; 95%CI 1.00;4.46) and hospitalizations (RR3.50; 95%CI 1.40;8.72) were associated with a decrease in weight in 2010. Conclusion. Weight changes are related to worse health status among the elderly.
RESUMO
Objetivo. Analisar a relação das condições de saúde com a mudança de peso entre idosos, do Estudo SABE, em um período de dez anos. Métodos. Estudo longitudinal que acompanhou (2000-baseline, 2006 e 2010) a mudança do peso corporal (variável desfecho) e condições de saúde associadas (variáveis de exposição) em idosos (n=571); análises de regressão logística multinomial foram empregadas. Resultados. O aumento médio de peso no período foi de 29,0%. Perderam peso 34,0% (2006) e 12,5% (2010); e ganharam peso 18,2% (2006) e 39,9% (2010). A prevalência de doenças crônicas aumentou de 34,1% (2000) para 51,9% (2006) e 60,1% (2010). Idosos com aumento de peso avaliaram pior sua saúde geral em 2006 (RR3,15; IC95%1,21;8,17) e 2010 (RR2,46; IC95%1,02;5,94). Maior número de doenças (RR2,12; IC95%1,00;4,46) e internações (RR3,50; IC95%1,40;8,72) associaram-se a diminuição de peso em 2010. Conclusão. Mudanças de peso estão relacionadas a um pior estado de saúde entre idosos.
