It is crucial to be mindful of the dietary changes that accompany the aging process, particularly in developing nations, where older individuals may exhibit premature functional decline. With advancing age, there is a natural decline in physical activity. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the level of physical activity and the dietary intakes of elderly men participating in the 'Idoso Feliz Participa Sempre' Project (PIFPS) at FEFF/UFAM. The research involved 12 men, ranging in age from 63 to 82 years. The research protocol encompassed the administration of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the collection of 24-hour dietary recalls (R24). The findings reveal that the study participants maintained an active level of physical activity and generally adhered to appropriate nutritional practices for their age, with one exception. Their daily fiber consumption fell below the recommended minimum levels. |
