摘要背景补充检查有助于了解老年人健康问题的病因。目的描述收集、分析和存储生物材料、影像检查和体能测试的操作要点和操作规程。方法这是一项以人群为基础的纵向研究，于2014年对604名老年人(≥60岁)进行了研究。收集生物材料、体成分、骨密度、颈动脉内膜平均厚度、握力、体力活动等资料。结果有效率为50.4%。失去了与年龄、认知状态和日常生活能力相关的随访。进行测试的人更年轻，在采访时工作，饮酒，身体活跃。此外，他们的依赖度较低，没有认知障碍，没有抑郁症状，也没有行动困难。结论对应用程序的描述可能有助于在老年人群中开展新的类似研究。因此，可以跟踪人口老龄化的过程及其风险和保护因素。
Abstract Background Complementary exams may contribute to the understanding of the etiology of health problems in older adults. Objective To describe the operational aspects and protocols used to collect, analyze and storage biological materials, image exams and physical-functional capacity tests. Method This is a longitudinal and population-based study with 604 older adults (≥ 60 years) from EpiFloripa Ageing Study, in 2014. Data of biological material, body composition, bone densitometry, ultrasonography of the carotid artery intima average thickness, hand grip strength and physical activity were collected. Results The response rate was 50.4%. There was loss of follow-up in relation to age, cognitive status, and activities of daily living. The individuals who performed the tests were younger, worked by the time of the interview, ingested alcohol and were physically active. Also, they were less dependent, absence of cognitive impairment, absence of depressive symptoms and absence of difficulty in mobility. Conclusion It is expected that the description of the applied routines may help in the development of new similar research in the older adult population. Thus, the aging process of the population, its risk and protection factors can be followed.
