Abstract

Objetivo. Meta-analisar a literatura prévia a fim de encontrar um consenso sobre os efeitos do envelhecimento na taxa metabólica de repouso (TMR) e identificar os principais atores neste processo. Métodos. Por meio de pesquisa no PubMed, dezoito estudos comparando TMR entre adultos mais velhos e jovens foram incluídos para meta-análise. Resultados. Os adultos mais velhos tiveram TMR significativamente menor do que os adultos jovens (-437 kJ/d [-591; 283], p <0,001). Enquanto os homens mais velhos tiveram uma redução de -725 kJ/d ([-1068; -382], p <0,001), as mulheres mais velhas tiveram apenas menos da metade dessa redução (-233 kJ / d [-308; -158], p <0,001). A redução da TMR induzida pela idade foi prevista pela diferença da massa muscular entre os grupos (r2 = 0,55), mas não pela massa corporal ou outros componentes da composição corporal. Conclusão. A TMR é de fato reduzida em adultos mais velhos e a perda de massa muscular é o principal ator nesse processo. Estudos futuros devem investigar o quanto dessa redução pode ser responsável por más condições de saúde em adultos mais velhos.
