Analysis of functional-physical fitness according to cognitive profile in a group of institutionalized elderly people

Abstract:

The assessment of functional-physical fitness (FpF) commonly used by researches in elderly populations is an epidemiological measure related to independence performance of daily tasks and functional autonomy. Recently, low levels of PA were found to be associated with an increased risk of neurocognitive diseases (Geda et al., 2010). The aim of this preliminary study was to investigate whether there were differences in FpF and body mass index (BMI), when participants were assessed for cognitive profile.
