| Resumo: | Objective: To investigate the assessment of calf circumference as a predictor for sarcopenia in the elderly and its relationship with sedentary lifestyle. Methodology: descriptive-exploratory study with a qualitative approach, developed using the Integrative Literature Review (RIL) method. In the LILACS, SCIELO and BDENF databases, studies from 2014 to 2018. Data analysis was performed using the IRaMuTeQ software. Results: 19 articles were found, from the IRaMuTeQ listed the categories: 1) Sedentary lifestyle as a risk factor for sarcopenia in the elderly; 2) The importance of physical exercise as a way to prevent sarcopenia in the elderly; 3) The relationship between inflammatory markers and the diagnosis of sarcopenia 4) Assessment of the calf circumference of the elderly as a form of intervention. Conclusion: it is emphasized that the assessment of the calf is efficient to track loss of muscle mass and that it should be used acting as a preventive measure and also being a determining factor to identify the possible development of sarcopenia. |
