Abstract
A cross sectional analytical study was done to determine the general health status and physical fitness of elderly people of 145 elderly people (51 men and 94 women) at Home for the Aged (Hninzigone), Yangon, because they were fit for this survey after the preliminary assessment. After physical examination and fitness tests, more than 90% of the elderly people had normal blood pressure while less than 10% was provisionally diagnosed as mild hypertension. BMI (Body Mass Index) showed that 55% of the elderly respondent had a healthy weight but in waist-hip ratio, 89% of the respondents are within the normal and only 11% fall within the obesity. Body fat percentage calculation revealed that half of elderly respondent were fit for their age. Only 25.5% in men and 7.4% in women were obese for their age. Majority of elder people were below averages in arm curl test. Nearly half of the population was normal in 30-second chair stand test. Eighty-two elderly men and women were above averages in back scratch test. More than half of the elderly people were below averages in chair sit-and-reach test. Majority of the elder people are below averages in 8-foot up-and-go test. More than half of the elderly people were within normal in the 2-minute walk-in-place test. Three out of six tests (arm curl, chair sit and reach and 8-foot up and go tests) were below averages than international standard scores for elderly people. Thirty second chair stand test and 2-min walk-in-place test are within normal range of international standard scores for elderly people and fortunately back-scratch test was above averages than international standard scores for elderly people. Thus, the data from this preliminary study will serve as a base-line data for future large population-based studies on the health status and physical fitness of elderly people in Myanmar.
