- Abstract
The relationship between the use of the mushroom Agaricus blazei, physical activities and life quality among the elderly is investigated. Current transversal study was undertaken with 44 elderly people divided into two groups: Group A - 21 elderly people who practiced physical activity exclusively; Group B - 12 elderly people who used Agaricus blazei but did not practice any physical activity; Group C - 11 elderly people who consumed Agaricus blazei and practiced physical activity. A structured questionnaire was employed and descriptive analysis was performed with SPSS 17. Group C had the greatest number of elderly people who declared good and very good health, good and very good memory and lower occurrence of pain, rigidity and edema in their joints. The synergic use of the mushroom Agaricus blazei with physical activities may improve the life quality of elderly people.
