Objectives. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between adiposity indicators, age and physical fitness related to health. Methods. The sample involved 43 boys and 53 girls. The tests applied were: the Sit-up (S), Modified Pull-up (MP) and Run/Walk (RW) tests. Fat indicators were: Body Mass Index (BMI), subscapular (SB), triceps (TR), and calf (C) skinfolds; the skinfolds sum (Σ) and percentage of fat mass (%F). Results. The results indicated negative correlation between MP and TR, MC, Σ and %F for boys and girls (r = -0,42 a r = -0,52, P ≤ 0,01). There was positive correlation among the S test and age for both groups (r = 0,35, P ≤ 0,05 a r = 0,52, P ≤ 0,01), and negative on the S test with SB, MC and %F for the girls (r = -0,28 a r = -0,29, P ≤ 0,05). Negative correlation also was verified between RW with TR for the boys (r = -0,30, P < 0,05). Conclusion. Age seemed to be related with better performance, and adiposity with weaker performance, mostly in the MP where it is necessary to support their own body mass. Thus, these factors should be considered in the interpretation of results and when establishing criteria for health-related tests with these characteristics. © 2013 Revista Andaluza de Medicina del Deporte.

Study design: cross-sectional study. Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the association between body composition, mobility and balance of elderly aged 80 years or older. Methods: The sample consisted of 123 elderly aged 80 and 95 years (83.2 ± 2.7 years) with 78 women (83.2 ± 2.9 years) and 45 men (83.2 ± 2, 4 years) residing in the city of Presidente Prudente - SP. Assessment of body composition was made by absorpiometria dual energy X-ray (DXA). The mobility and balance were assessed by means of tests of speed walking, and static balance lower limb strength. For statistical analysis we carried out the chi-square test, the software used was SPSS (13.0) and the significance level was set at 5%. Results: In males, those with higher performance in the functional tests showed higher percentages of muscle mass (MM) (35.6%) compared to lower performance (15.6%), p = 0.026. In the female group, the elderly with higher performance on tests showed higher bone mineral density (BMD) values (30.8%) compared with those with lower performance (20.5%) p = 0.041. Conclusion: MM for elderly males and BMD for females were the components of body composition that is associated with functional capacity.
