Abstract

Objective: observe if obesity can produce alterations in the dynamic balance of older adult women. Method: thirty-four older adult women with different nutritional status (normal weight, overweight and obese) were recruited in which their dynamic balance was measured using the Timed up and Go test. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed in older women in normal weight compared to obese in the execution of the dynamic balance test. Similarly, statistically significant differences were observed between overweight women and normal weight, as well as overweight and obese women. Conclusion: an excessive accumulation of body fat can lead to further deterioration in the dynamic balance of older adult women.
