Introduction and objectives: Changes in body composition may interfere in the physical functionality of elderly. The objective of this study is to measure the nutritional state and the handgrip strength in physically active elderlies who practice rhythm activity. Materials and methods: The sample was composed of 31 elderly women; the body composition was measured by tetrapolar electrical bioimpedance and the handgrip strength was measured by Jamar dynamometer. The analyses were performed in groups of women with different ages (? 68 and > 68 years), in those with adequate muscle mass index (IMMa > 6.75 kg/m2) and in those with insufficient muscle mass index (IMMi ? 6.75 kg/m2). The differences between the groups were measured by Student’s t-test, for independent samples, while the correlations were measured by the Pearson’s test. Results and conclusion: Body composition has showed that 43.8% of elderly had excessive body fat and 64% had adequate muscle mass. Those older than 68 years old have showed significant reduction of body mass (p = 0.014) and of body mass index (BMI, p = 0.025). The handgrip strength was considered adequate in 77%, regarding the right member, and in 99% when considering the left member. Correlations between handgrip strength and body composition have not been identified. Finally, it was concluded that the analyzed women had adequate handgrip strength and satisfactory lean body mass, the majority of them, but they have showed unsatisfactory percentage of fat mass, which requires interventions to change the profile of adiposity of such samples.
