Su2071 Unraveling the Pathophysiology of Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis

Introduction: The aging, regarded as dynamic and progressive phenomenon, have been increasingly observed in the world population (Martins et al., 2009). It is essential for any health care, which is identified indications of obesity and visceral adiposity levels (France et al., 2008), providing guidelines to help prevent and alleviate this situation, therefore preventing future illnesses that can lead to death. Objective: Investigate the effect of physical exercise program on height (H), weight (W), fat mass (FM), visceral fat area (VFA), and skeletal muscle mass index (SMMI) of post-menopausal women. Methods: One hundred sixty-nine women (56.80±6.47 years,) were randomized into an exercise group (EG, n=91) and the control group (CG, n=78). The EG performed 60 minutes of exercise, 3 times a week (step, weight training and flexibility).Were evaluated, by using octopolar bioimpedance, before and after a 12-month period heigth (H), weight (W), fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM), visceral fat area (VFA) and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI). Skeletal muscle mass index was calculated (SMI= SM/W ×100) and the food record method was used. The variable averages (absolute values and rates of change) were compared by using t-tests and the degree of statistical significance considered was 1%. Results: The EG revealed a significant increase on height, evolving the average 155.61 cm in the pre-test to 156.20 in post-test. The percentage of obese women on EG, in the post-test, was reduced by 1.1% in fat mass, being 80 women (87.9%) remained with values of AAV≥ 100 cm2. The CG increased (p <0.01) total fat (1.86% FM) and central (3.92 cm2), raising the percentage of obese women in the post-test at 6.4%. The reduction in CG (SMMI) was -1.06 (p <0.01), with the number of women with sarcopenia almost doubled (from 10.3% in the pre-test to 19.2% in the posttest). Conclusion: The exercise of strength, endurance and flexibility suggests an improvement in posture, reduces global and central obesity, preventing sarcopenia increased, reducing the risk of falls, implying possible benefits for the quality to the life of this population.
