| Resumo: | The objective of this study was to evaluate the waist circumference of elder women between 60 and 90 years old, entrants of gymnastic groups from Programa Viver Ativo, developed by the Florianópolis City Hall. The research interviewed 396 aged women with average of 66,4 years old. The age that presented more probability of getting diseases related to the waist circumference is between 70 and 74 years old (average= 90,12cm), and the one of less risk is with more than 80 years old (average= 85,88). Even so, the other ages have high risk (88cm). Florianópolis regions were also studied. The Continente presented 22,97% waist circumference less than 80cm, but all the regions have moderated risk (80cm), 78,02% in Continente and 94,74% in East. None of the elder researched has the ideal waist circumference, but there is a decrease for the ones in their eighties. All these ages deserve attention because they are likely to develop diseases related to guts fat. The same observation applies to the population, because all the regions where the gymnastic groups are placed present a large number of aged women with waist circumference over 80cm. |
