Abstract

Objective: to analyze the sociodemographic and health factors associated with the risk of sarcopenia, fear of falling and level of physical activity among older people in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil. Methodology: cross-sectional study carried out with 116 older people. A questionnaire with sociodemographic and health questions, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), the Falls Efficacy Scale – International (FES-I) and the Strength, Assistance in walking, Rise from a chair, Climb stairs, and Falls (SARC-F) were used. Data was analyzed by means of Pearson’s Chi-square test (p<0.05). Results: there was a higher frequency of older people without risk of sarcopenia and fear of falling, who were physically active, belonging to the age group from 60 to 70 years, with a monthly income above three minimum wages, with a good health perception and who perceived themselves to be in better health than older people of the same age (p<0.05). Conclusion: it is concluded that some sociodemographic factors, such as younger age and higher income, and health factors, such as better health perception, are associated with the risk of sarcopenia, fear of falling and level of physical activity of the older people.
