Abstract
O presente estudo analisou o nível de aptidão física e estado nutricional dos idosos participantes do projeto Em Comum-Idade, realizado nas comunidades de São José do Triunfo e Nova Viçosa, em Viçosa, MG. Trata-se de um estudo transversal exploratório, conduzido em agosto de 2012. Foi feita avaliação antropométrica: índice de massa corporal (IMC) e perímetro abdominal (PA), bem como avaliação física: testes para flexibilidade, força de membros inferiores/superiores, agilidade e equilíbrio, conforme Rikli e Jones (2001). Realizou-se análise descritiva e bivariada dos dados. Nesta última, o nível de significância adotado foi p = 0,05. Fizeram parte deste estudo 149 indivíduos. A grande maioria (89,1%) eram mulheres e quase 70% tinham idade entre 55 e 69 anos. Predominou excesso de peso (62,2%) e 90,1% com risco coronariano muito elevado. Os escores dos testes apresentaram-se, na maioria, dentro do limite de normalidade para a idade, exceto o teste de levantar/caminhar, no qual se evidenciou que 56,7% obtiveram escore ruim. Observaram-se piores resultados para agilidade/equilíbrio e força de membros inferiores entre idosos com risco coronariano elevado, o que indica maior risc de quedas nesse grupo. Concluiu-se que intervenções para melhoria/manutenção de aptidão física e estado nutricional são de grande relevância para promoção da saúde do grupo estudado.

This study analyzed the level of physical fitness and nutritional status of elderly participants of the Common-Age project, held in the communities of São José do Triunfo and Nova Viçosa, in Viçosa, MG. An Exploratory cross-sectional study, conducted in August 2012. It was carried ou t anthropometric evaluation: body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) as well as physical evaluation: tests for flexibility, strength of lower / upper limbs, agility and balance, according to Rikli and Jones (2001). It was conducted a descriptive and bivariate data analysis. In the last one, the significance level was a = 0.05. This study included 149 subjects. The great majority (89.1%) was women and nearly 70% were between 55 and 69 years. There was a predominance of overweight (62.2%) and 90.1% with very high coronary risk. The test scores were presented, mostly within the normal range for age, except the test of stand up / walk, which was evident that 56.7% had bad score. The worse results were observed for agility / balance and lower limb strength among elderly with high coronary risk, which indicates increased risk of falls in this group. It was concluded that interventions for improvement / maintenance of physical fitness and nutritional status are greatly relevant for health promotion of the study group.
