Associação Entre Função Física e Cognitiva na Pós-menopausa: Um Estudo Transversal

Testes funcionais têm sido realizados para predizer declínio cognitivo em mulheres na pós menopausa e podem ser uma ferramenta importante para identificar reduções precoces no desempenho cognitivo nessa população. No entanto, ainda não está claro qual teste funcional é mais sensível para detectar precocemente o declínio cognitivo na amostra investigada. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se há associação entre desempenho funcional e função cognitiva em mulheres na pós-menopausa e analisar se os testes de velocidade de marcha de 400 metros (Vm400) e Timed Up and Go (TUG) são preditores da função cognitiva nesta amostra. Cento e vinte oito mulheres na pós-menopausa (60,8 ± 7,9 anos) participaram deste estudo de carácter transversal. A composição corporal foi avaliada pela Absorciometria Radiológica de Dupla Energia (DXA), desempenho funcional pelos testes Vm400 e TUG, desempenho cognitivo pelo teste Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) e força muscular pela contração isométrica voluntaria máxima (CIVM) dos membros inferiores. Uma associação entre desempenho funcional e função cognitiva foi observada na amostra investigada. O teste TUG foi associado ao teste MoCA (B = -0,79; SE = 0,29; p = 0,008). No entanto, não foi observada associação entre Vm400 com o teste MoCA (B = 3,03; SE = 1,92; p = 0,117). Esses resultados mostram que o teste TUG é um bom preditor de declínio cognitivo em mulheres na pós-menopausa na meia idade.
