- Abstract
This study aimed to analyze whether the frequency and duration of physical activity and sedentary behavior interfere with the risk of sarcopenia in elderly attending social groups. Cross-sectional study to evaluate 207 elderly people attending social groups in the municipality of Sarandi, state of Paraná. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the SARC-F were used. Data were analyzed using inferential statistics (p<0.05). The prevalence of elderly people with active level of physical activity (93.2%) and no risk of sarcopenia (75.8%) was observed. Elderly people at risk of sarcopenia spend more time sitting on weekdays than elderly people with no risk of sarcopenia (p=0.043). Duration and frequency of physical activity do not affect the risk of sarcopenia. However, the risk of sarcopenia is associated with sedentary behavior of the elderly.
