Resumo: | Introduction: The Multidimensional Study of the Elderly Population of Porto Alegre-RS (EMIPOA) evaluated in a multidisciplinary perspective subjects with 60 years and on. Objective: Evaluate the thoracic postural deviations of elderly population of POA using the Shadow Moire Technique (SMT). Methods: The sample (n=444; 331 women, 113 men) was randomly selected from the elderly POA population. The variables analyzed were: Vertebral spine and scapular region alignment in frontal plane, deepness of right and left scapula and thoracic kyphosis. The sex influence on posture, body mass index (BMI), and abdominal circumference was even analyzed. The topograms was analyzed in a semi-automatic way by software. Statistical analysis was made using SPSS software. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the data, normality tests as Shapiro-Wilk and kolmogorov-smirnov, Pearson and Spearman correlations, Student t test, Mann-Whitney and Chi-square functions (p≤0. 05) were used too. Results: The angular spine variation of men on frontal plane was higher in 60-69 years group. The women presented a reduction tendency until 79 years, starting increasing by 80 years. Otherwise, the data didn’t show statistical differences between genders for postural deviations on frontal plane. For men, progressive aging showed a reduction in scapular alignment, this started only at 80 years for women. Behalf the genders differences, men and women showed similarities in this variable for all ages. Thoracic kyphosis showed increases with aging for men and women, and no statistical differences was found between genders. Otherwise, one age group showed statistical differences on right side gibosity (p=0. 002). For left side, men and women showed differences on 60-69 years (p=0. 000) and 70-79 years (p=0. 016). The thoracic kyphosis increases with aging for both genders and didn´t showed significant differences on age groups. Some variable didn’t showed relations the scapular alignment on frontal plane and angular spine variation on frontal plane; alignment between scapulas on transverse plane and angular spine variation on frontal plane of men and for women; the BMI and thoracic kyphosis for men (ρ=0. 064; p=0. 506), between PAb and thoracic kyphosis for men; the BMI and PAb and elderly women thoracic kyphosis; BMI and angular spine variation on frontal plane of men. The confirmed correlations was for women between BMI and thoracic kyphosis (ρ=0. 156; p=0. 007), and between BMI and angular spine variation on frontal plane (ρ=0. 156; p=0. 007). Conclusion: The SMT was useful for trunk topographic evaluation of elderly population of Porto Alegre. Studied anthropometrics characteristics showed significant correlation with postural deviations only for women |
