- Abstract
The aging process causes the body biological, psychological and social changes. This study aimed to compare the functional capacity, waist circumference and hip, body mass index, physical activity and blood pressure according to the chronological age of active elderly women. The sample was divided into two groups, G1 below 70 years (64.619 ± 2.854) and G2 group over 70 years (74.904 ± 3.207). Data were analyzed using the software (SISVAR 5.3) and, based on the data we can say that there was no significant difference between the variables abdominal circumference, hip circumference, body mass index, level of physical activity and blood pressure among the groups; and only the Functional Capacity statistical difference between groups (p = 0.000226). Thus, it was concluded that the elderly with age over 70 years have less functional capacity.
