Vitamin D inadequacy is highly prevalent and its deficiency or insufficiency estimated to affect one billion people worldwide. It causes secondary hyperparathyroidism, bone loss, fractures and it has been associated with a number of other conditions, such as impaired muscle function (1), we decided to verify if there is an association between 25(OH)D status and handgrip strength and with lean muscle mass after cholecalciferol supplementation in elderly women.Methods : We studied fifty-four postmenopausal women with serum 25(OH)D below 30 ng/mL during three months. Cholecalciferol supplementation was divided into two levels according to classification: deficient (10000 units/day) and insufficient (2000 units/day). Changes in biochemical response and in body composition were assessed using dual-x-ray energy absormetry, handgrip strength and blood tests before and after supplementation.Results: The majority of the sample were vitamin D deficient. There was no difference in the deficient group for handgrip strength after the supplementation (p=0,489), but PTH had a statistically significant reduction (p=0.001). Besides, the deficient group had a decrease in lean mass even after the intervention (p=0.006). The results were similar when comparing within results of the insufficient group, however lean mass remained stable (p=0.423).Conclusion: Three-month cholecalciferol supplementation alone in elderly women with doses according to 25(OH)D serum was insufficient to change handgrip strength and total lean muscle mass, however secondary hyperparathyroidism was corrected.","PeriodicalId":338961,"journal":{"name":"PAJAR - Pan-American Journal of Aging Research","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128383660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Brazil, home care covers several aspects, actions of visits, visits and home hospitalizations.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the scientific production of the nurse, doctor and psychologist in the home visit of the elderly in Primary Care in Brazil.METHOD: This is a narrative review using the OMNIS search tool (PUCRS) and uses the following descriptors: “home visit” and “elderly” or “elderly health”. We included articles from the last 10 years (2008-2018), peer reviewed and available in English, Portuguese or Spanish.RESULTS: we found the following publications: 22 in Nursing, 19 in Medicine and 12 in Psychology. After the complete reading of the selected articles, we opted for the analysis of 10 studies in the area of Nursing, 8 in Medicine and 4 in Psychology.CONCLUSIONS: There was a lack of scientific material directly related to the subject in Medicine and Psychology. In the area of Nursing, the articles were more specific about the role of nurses in the management of care.","PeriodicalId":338961,"journal":{"name":"PAJAR - Pan-American Journal of Aging Research","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127128421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
