Physical activity level and quality of life in older women during the pandemic
The aim of the study was to identify the level of physical activity and quality of life in elderly women during the pandemic. A total of 2,269 women took part (X= 66.46 ± 5.73 years). A sociodemographic questionnaire, the WHOQOL-Old for quality of life and the Baecke questionnaire for level of physical activity were used. The study population was 57.14% mulatto; 35.71% single; 40% literate; 50% retired; 60% with a monthly income ≤ 2 salaries (≤ US$200.00). 77.14% reported having some pre-established illness or continuous use of medication, and 86% had a sick parent. The results show that 90% of the participants had a low physical activity index (PAI) (X= 4.44 ± 3.79; PAI ≤ 9.11) and 61.4% had an average overall quality of life (OHQoL) (X= 13.56 ± 1.75; OHQoL between 10 - 14). It was concluded that the pandemic has a negative effect on the physical activity of elderly women, causing a decline in quality of life.

Body composition and quality of life in women breast cancer survivors
The present study aims to correlate body composition and quality of life of breast cancer survivor women treated at the nutrition outpatient clinic of a public hospital. This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to assess sociodemographic conditions, and a 24-hour dietary recall was used to evaluate their quality of life. The quality of life was assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30 version 3.0. It was found that the majority of women treated in this unit were overweight or obese according to the Body Mass Index: 76%. When relating body composition to quality of life, it was observed that only the presence of the pain symptom was significantly related to the body composition of these women (p=0.047). Most of the patients are in an overweight or obese nutritional state (76%). Among these obese women, there is a higher presence of pain. Pain is a symptom present in these women and shows a significant relationship with body composition, potentially further impacting their lack of physical exercise and worsening their quality of life.
