dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to compare the body composition differences between gender in institutionalized elderly. The sample was composed by 23 sedentary subjects, with 85,05 (±7,21) years, 8 males and 15 females. The height (m), body mass (kg), BMC (kg/m2), body fat and water percentage, visceral fat level, free fat and bone mass (kg) and basal metabolic rate (Kcal) were evaluated in each individual. A TANITA BC-545 was used for body composition variables access. This balance allows to evaluate the described variables with bio impedance technic. Height presented a mean of 1.50 (±0.12) meters, body mass of 64.52 (±15.90) kg, fat mass percentage of 31.21 (±10.45) % and water 47.21 (±6.99) %, free fat mass was 41.96 (±10.53) kg and bone mass 3.04 (±3.72) kg, the basal metabolic rate was 1283.25 (±280.78) kcal. Mann-Witney test allowed to compare the differences between groups with a significance level of 5%. Significant statistical differences were observed between gender in height (F=14.50; p=0.002), fat mass percentage (F=91.00; p=0.047) and water (F=14.00; p=0.0085) and basal metabolic rate (F=18.00; p=0,0053) all variables presented a high mean in males, only fat mass percentage mean was higher in females. Males presented a different body composition in comparison with females.pt_PT
