背景与目的：肥胖已成为一种社会趋势，身体机能随年龄增长而下降是一种自然趋势。我们的目的是描述参加健康筛查的老年妇女的肥胖情况，并确定她们的肥胖与观察到的和自我报告的身体表现之间的关系。方法：研究对象为104名社区老年妇女（74.9±7.5岁）。他们的肥胖用身体质量指数（BMI）、腰围和腰臀比来描述。身体表现采用定时坐-站、单侧站立、25英尺步行和SF - 36的身体功能量表进行表征。习惯性活动被总结为患者估计他们每天用脚走动的小时数。结果：多数女性存在过度肥胖。肥胖程度越高，身体表现越差。Pearson相关性和多元回归均显示BMI对所有身体表现指标具有显著的预测作用。年龄增加了行走时间和单侧站立时间的解释。时间的移动有助于解释自我报告的身体功能。结论：肥胖应作为老年妇女物理治疗检查的一部分。如果身体表现有限，这可能是一个适当的干预目标。
Background and Purpose: There is a societal trend toward increasing obesity and a natural tendency for physical performance to decrease with age. Our purpose was to describe the adiposity of elderly women participating in a health screening and to determine the relationship between their adiposity and both observed and self‐reported physical performance. Methods: Subjects were 104 communitydwelling elderly women (74.9 ± 7.5 years). Their adiposity was described using body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and waist to hip ratio. Physical performance was characterized using timed sit‐to‐stand, unilateral standing, 25‐foot walk and the Physical Functioning subscale of the SF‐36. Habitual activity was summarized as the number of daily hours patients estimated they spent moving about on their feet. Results: The majority of women had excessive adiposity. Greater adiposity was associated with worse physical performance. Both Pearson correlations and multiple regression revealed BMI to be significantly predictive of all physical performance measures. Age added to the explanation of walking time and unilateral stance time. Time moving about contributed to the explanation of self‐reported physical functioning. Conclusions: Adiposity should be documented as part of the physical therapist examination of elderly women. It may be an appropriate target of intervention if physical performance is limited.
