ABSTRACT
Introduction: In this study, a quantitative analysis of the BMI index on the postural stability of
women in early old age was conducted. Material and Methods: The study was conducted in a group of 41 women aged 60-74. The
postural stability of women was assessed using computerized dynamic posturography (CDP). The
usefulness of signals coming from sensory organs involved in the control of the body’s balance
and the correctness of choosing the appropriate motor strategy were assessed. The deflections of
the centre of gravity of the body in the anteroposterior direction and the combined result of body
balance analysis were determined. Results: As a result of the conducted research, a negative correlation between the BMI index of
the studied women and the results of the balance analysis, as well as the results of the motor
strategy analysis was found. Conclusions: Along with the increase in the BMI index, there increases the range of deflections
of women’s centre of gravity in the anteroposterior direction. In overweight people, worse use
of somatosensory information and hip joint strategy was found. The obtained quantitative
relationships between the parameters of the body balance system assessed in the CDP
examination and BMI indicate the adverse effect of excessive weight and obesity on the postural
stability of women in early old age.
