Abstract

Sarcopenia is associated with several diseases, reduced functionality and damages to the gerontes' quality of life. The association of sarcopenia with functionality in quilombola populations has been little studied. This study aimed to verify the association between sarcopenia and functionality in elderly quilombolas and non - quilombolas. A cross-sectional study was carried out with 62 women participants (ranging from 60 to 85 years old), who were divided into two groups: 39 quilombolas (GQ) and 23 non-quilombolas (CG). For the diagnosis of sarcopenia, the algorithm proposed by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People was used. Muscle mass was analyzed by examining dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and palmar grip strength using the hand dynamometer. The physical performance was analyzed by gait velocity test. In order to analyze the functional capacity, the Katz and Lawton tests were used. A prevalence of sarcopenia of 5.12% was found in GQ and 8.69% in CG. There is a greater proportion of quilombola women with functional disability, 100% of them presenting dependence for both activities. The condition of being a quilombola showed greater impairments in functional capacity, regardless of whether it was affected by sarcopenia
