ABSTRACT
Objective. To associate health anthropometric indexes with
physical fitness of elderly women (EW) who participate in
physical exercise workshops.
Materials and methods.
272 Chilean women over 60 years took part in the study.
The variables studied were BMI, waist circumference (WC),
waist-height index (WHI) and physical fitness (PF). Correlations
were made through the Pearson or Spearman coefficient,
and bivariate associations using Pearson’s Chi-square
and the Fisher’s exact test, considering
p‹0.05.
Results.
70.8% of the EW were overweight or obese; 68.8% and 96%
were at cardiometabolic risk due to their WC and WHI,
respectively. Their PF showed equal performance (53.5%)
or higher (33.8%) according to their age and gender. Inverse
correlations were found between nutritional status and
cardiometabolic risk with PF tests (except for agility and
dynamic balance [direct]), and direct association with back scratch test.
Conclusions. Excess weight in physically active
EW would not affect their physical-functional performance;
however, cardiometabolic risk would be inversely associated
with motor function.
