[Reference values for the senior fitness test in Chilean older women].

Background: The Senior Fitness Test (SFT) is frequently used to assess physical fitness and functional independence in older people.

Aim: To establish reference values for the SFT in Chilean physically active older women according to age ranges.

Material And Methods: Cross-sectional study that included 1048 Chilean women aged between 60 and 85 years.

[Association between health anthropometric indexes with physical fitness in physically active elderly women].

Objective: To associate health anthropometric indexes with physical fitness of elderly women (EW) who participate in physical exercise workshops.

Materials And Methods: 272 Chilean women over 60 years took part in the study. The variables studied were BMI, waist circumference (WC), waist-height index (WHI) and physical fitness (PF).

[Relationship between anthropometric health indexes with food consumption in physically active elderly].

Introduction: Programs focused on active aging do not always have actions to guide the elderly about healthy eating. Therefore, the concordance between the feeding habits and the morphological characteristics of this population group is little known.

Objective: To correlate the anthropometric health indexes with the frequency of food consumption in physically active elderly (PAE).
