ABSTRACT

Resumo Este estudo objetivou identificar os fatores associados à Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica (DPOC) em idosos não institucionalizados. Trata-se de um estudo transversal conduzido a partir de inquérito domiciliar, seguido de espirometria. Pessoas com diagnóstico de DPOC foram comparadas com outras com espirometria normal, por meio de análises bivariadas seguidas de análise de regressão multivariada. Foram identificados 53 idosos com DPOC. Após análise multivariada, foram identificados os seguintes fatores associado à DPOC: tabagismo pregresso ou atual (OR:3,74; IC95%:1,65-8,46), presença de catarro como sintoma respiratório (OR:4,92; IC95%:2,03-11,95), oximetria de pulso em repouso ≤ 90% (OR:8,74; IC95%:1,27-60,07) e autorrelato de asma (OR:3,41; IC95%:1,01-11,57). Os resultados revelam fatores associados que destacam a necessidade de revisão dos critérios de seleção dos pacientes de risco para DPOC entre idosos.


Abstract This study aimed to identify factors associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) among non-institutionalized elderly people. It involved a cross-sectional study conducted on the basis of a household survey, followed by spirometry. People diagnosed with COPD were compared with those with normal spirometry, through bivariate analysis, followed by multivariate regression analysis. We identified 53 elderly people were identified with COPD. After multivariate analysis, the following factors associated with COPD were identified: past or current smoking (OR: 3.74; 95% CI: 1.65-8.46), presence of chronic sputum (OR: 4.92; 95% CI: 2.03-11.95), pulse oximetry at rest ≤ 90% (OR: 8.74; 95%CI: 1.27-60.07), self-reported asthma (OR: 3.41; 95% CI: 1.01-11.57). The results reveal associated factors that highlight the need to review the selection criteria for patients at risk of COPD among the elderly.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivou-se conhecer a autopercepção de saúde entre idosos comunitários no norte de Minas Gerais, identificando fatores associados à autopercepção negativa da saúde. Trata-se de estudo transversal, de base populacional, com amostragem probabilística em dois estágios. Os dados foram coletados nos domicílios por equipe treinada com questionários já validados. Para identificar variáveis associadas à autopercepção negativa da saúde, foram feitas análises bivariadas, seguidas de regressão de Poisson. Participaram do estudo 686 idosos (idade média = 70,9 anos; DP = 8,08), sendo 445 (64,9%) do sexo feminino. A maioria era parda (57,1%) e com escolaridade de até 4 anos (76,3%). Sobre a autopercepção de saúde, 291 idosos (42,4%) apresentaram uma percepção positiva de sua própria saúde (Muito boa ou Boa); 302 idosos descreveram uma saúde “Regular” (44,0%) e 93 (13,5%) referiram-se à própria saúde como “Ruim” ou “Muito ruim”. As variáveis associadas com uma autopercepção negativa da saúde foram: dificuldade de acesso aos serviços de saúde, queda no último ano, hipertensão arterial, problema cardíaco, asma/bronquite e algum grau de fragilidade. Os resultados reforçam o fato de que múltiplos fatores se mostram associados à autopercepção negativa entre os idosos, com ênfase para aqueles vinculados à morbidade.


Abstract This study aimed to obtain an understanding of the self-rated health among community-dwelling elderly people in the north of Minas Gerais, identifying factors associated with negative self-rated health. We conducted a population-based cross-sectional study with two-stage random sampling. Data collection was carried out in the home of elderly people by trained staff who used questionnaires that had already been validated. To identify the variables associated with negative self-rated health, bivariate analyses were performed, followed by Poisson regression analysis. The study included 686 elderly people (average age = 70.9 years, DP = 8.08), 445 (64.9%) of whom were female. Most were mixed-race (57.1%) and had less than 4 years of schooling (76.3%). On the self-rated health, 291 elderly people (42.4%) had a positive perception of their own health (very good or good); 302 elderly people described their health as “regular” (44.0%) and 93 (13.5%) referred to their own health as “poor” or “very poor”. The variables associated with a negative self-rated health were: difficulties in accessing health services, having a fall in the last year, hypertension, heart problems, asthma/bronchitis and any degree of fragility. The results reinforce the fact that multiple factors are associated with negative self-rated health among the elderly, with an emphasis on those related to morbidity.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To identify the prevalence of falls and associated factors in non-institutionalized elderly persons. Methods: A cross-sectional study featuring a population-based sample of non-institutionalized elderly persons in a city in the north of Minas Gerais was performed. Interviews were conducted in households by trained staff using validated instruments. We investigated the associations between falls and demographic, socioeconomic and health-related factors. After bivariate analysis, the variables associated with falls to a level of 20% were analyzed together using logistic regression, assuming at this stage a significance level of 5%. Results: The studied population was predominantly female, married and with a low educational level. The prevalence of falls was 28.4%. The factors that were associated with falls were: female gender (OR=1.67; 95% CI:1.13 to 2.47); negative self-evaluation of health (OR=1.49; 95% CI: 1.02 to 2.20); impaired functional mobility (Timed Up and Go test >20 seconds) (OR=1.66; 95CI: 1.02-2.74); the occurrence of hospitalization in the previous 12 months (OR=1.82; 95% CI: 1.17 to 2.84); and frailty measured by the Edmonton Frail Scale (OR=1.73; 95% CI: 1.14 to 2.64). Conclusions: The prevalence of falls was high for the population studied and was related to the individual health conditions of the elderly. AU


Resumo Objetivo: Estimar a prevalência de quedas e os fatores associados em idosos não institucionalizados. Métodos: Estudo transversal com amostra de base populacional de idosos não institucionalizados em cidade polo do norte de Minas Gerais. Foram conduzidas entrevistas nos domicílios por equipe especialmente treinada utilizando instrumentos validados. Investigou-se a associação entre a ocorrência de quedas e variáveis demográficas, socioeconômicas e relacionadas à saúde. Após análise bivariada, as variáveis associadas até o nível de 20% foram analisadas conjuntamente por meio de regressão logística, assumindo-se nessa fase o nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: A população avaliada era predominantemente feminina, casada e com baixa escolaridade. A prevalência de quedas foi de 28,4%. Os fatores que se mostraram associados à ocorrência de quedas foram: sexo feminino (OR=1,67; IC95%:1,13-2,47); a autopercepção negativa da saúde (OR=1,49; IC95%:1,02-2,20); comprometimento da mobilidade funcional (teste Timed Up and Go > 20 segundos) (OR=1,66; IC95%:1,02- 2,74); o registro de internação nos 12 meses precedentes (OR=1,82; IC95%:1,17-2,84); e fragilidade aferida pela Edmonton Frail Scale (OR=1,73; IC95%:1,14-2,64). Conclusões: A prevalência de quedas mostrou-se elevada para a população estudada e relacionada especialmente às condições de saúde dos idosos. AU
