Assessing the Impact of Climate Change on the Brazilian Agricultural Sector

Abstract This paper aims at estimating the effects of climate change on the Brazilian agriculture both in terms of agricultural profitability and land values. To accomplish this task, we estimate two econometric models: the fixed-effects model proposed by Deschênes and Greenstone (2007) and the hedonic model proposed b

Age-related sarcopenia index and functional capacity in elderly community members: a correlational study

Sarcopenia affects performance in simple activities of daily life, directly impacting the quality of life of the elderly. The objective of the present study was to analyse the correlation between age, sarcopenia index and functional capacity in community-dwelling elderly. The sample comprised 40 community-dwelling elderly, 12 men (69.16 ± 8.13 years) and 28 women (67.96 ± 6.23 years). All participants underwent the Electrical Bioimpedance (BIA), Handgrip Strength test (HS), and Timed-Up-and-Go test (TUG). A strong correlation was found between age x TUG in men (r = 0.733; p = 0.021), between age x fat mass in women (r = 0.775; p = 0.032), between HS and TUG in men (r = − 0.713; p = 0.0003), and a weak correlation between HS and Free Fat Mass in women (r = 0.394; p = 0.043). Weak negative correlations were found regarding age in both men and women. In functional performance, concerning test time and age, strong correlations were found for men and weak correlations for women
