Abstract Elderly individuals undergo a progressive decline in functional capacity related to increased risk of dependency, loss of autonomy, and frailty. A lower cardiorespiratory
ip t
fitness level is associated with cardiovascular disease events and mortality from all causes. The Veterans Specific Activity Questionnaire (VSAQ) was developed to
cr
facilitate prediction of the exercise capacity in older people with cardiovascular disease.
us
However, few studies have investigated the relationship between the VSAQ and
functional capacity in elderly women. This study investigated the relationship between
an
functional capacity and the estimated cardiovascular capacity in elderly women, as assessed by the VSAQ. In this descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study, we
M
evaluated 37 healthy elderly women (aged 70±7 years). The assessment protocols used were the following: Anamnesis, VSAQ and nomogram (age adjusted), Senior Fitness
d
Test (30-second chair stand, to assess lower-body strength; 8-foot Up-and-Go test, to
te
assess agility-dynamic balance; and 2-minute Step test, to assess aerobic endurance). The Spearman test showed a significant correlation (p
