abstract = {Objective: to analyze postural changes of elderly people that frequent a
club for elderly people. Methods: study of 55 elderlies, 67.2 ± 6.6 years
old, 65.5% (36) being female. It was used a questionnaire consisting of
socio-demographic variables and a postural assessment instrument that
contains items that assess postural changes in view (perspective): anterior,
lateral and posterior. The data were processed in the program SPSS 19.0.
Results: it was observed a high prevalence of elderly people with absence
of postural deviations, however some deformities were found, 60% (33) of
the elders analyzed in this study had their head forward and 49.1% (27)
presented hyperlordosis. Conclusion: the data has showed that although
some musculoskeletal changes specific to the aging process were present,
most of the elderly were normal, reflecting the effectiveness of activities
or previous treatments - intended to minimize postural alterations - with
consequent improvements in the quality of life of the elderly person.},
