SUMMARY:

INTRODUCTION: the aging process promotes numerous anatomical and physiological changes in human beings. In the musculoskeletal system, there is a decrease in muscle mass and the total amount of water, which may be related to the functional decline of this population. OBJECTIVE: to explore the relationships between water, metabolism and strength (skeletal muscle mass, calf circumference and grip strength) in community-dwelling elderly. METHOD: cross-sectional observational and analytical study, in which 709 elderly aged ≥ 60 years, of both sexes and residents of the city of Parnamirim/RN, Brazil, were evaluated. Data were collected through a standardized protocol containing questions about sociodemographic variables and lifestyle habits (present in the elderly person's health booklet - CSPI). Those related to total body water, basal metabolic rate and the amount of intra and extracellular water were measured using bioelectrical impedance. Variables related to muscle strength, such as skeletal muscle mass, calf circumference and grip strength, were measured respectively using electrical bioimpedance, a measuring tape and a Saehan hydraulic dynamometer. The association between the variables of total body water and metabolism with those of muscle strength was performed/performed using the Spearman correlation test, and was considered significant at p< 0.05, with a 95% confidence interval. RESULTS: most of the evaluated individuals were women (60.7%) with a mean age of 70.1 ± 7.1 years. There was a moderate positive correlation between BMR and grip strength (r= 0.6 p < 0.01) and total body water and grip strength (r = 0.7 p < 0.01). The amount of intracellular water showed a strong positive correlation with grip strength (r = 0.7 p < 0.01). While calf circumference had a positive and weak correlation with water and metabolism components. With regard to skeletal muscle mass, the analysis showed a strong positive correlation with total body water (r = 0.8 p = <0.01) and with basal metabolic rate (r = 0.9 p = <0.01). CONCLUSION: based on the preliminary results, it is observed that the relationship between the components of body water and metabolism with muscle strength can help in investigations into the health conditions of community-dwelling elderly, helping in the early identification of elderly people with reduced strength and muscle mass and minimizing the aggravating factors to the health of this population. In addition, the assessment of body composition by bioimpedance emerges as a lower-cost and promising tool in the screening of elderly people at risk of sarcopenia.
