ABSTRACT

O presente estudo tem por objetivo avaliar o efeito do sobrepeso e da obesidade sobre a função pulmonar (FP) e a qualidade de vida (QV) em idosos vinculados ao Programa Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF) em Cruz Alta-RS. Foram avaliados cem idosos, sendo noventa mulheres. A FP foi avaliada através da Capacidade Vital Forçada (CVF), Volume Expiratório Forçado no Primeiro Segundo (VEF1 ) e Pico de Fluxo Expiratório (PFE). O questionário Medical Outcome Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) foi utilizado para avaliar a QV. Observaram-se 54 indivíduos com sobrepeso ou obesos. A FP apresentou-se dentro da normalidade. As maiores pontuações de QV foram nos domínios Capacidade Funcional (CF), Estado Geral de Saúde (EGS) e Aspectos Sociais (AS). Os indivíduos com sobrepeso e obesos apresentaram escore inferior nos domínios Vitalidade e AS quando comparado aos eutróficos (p = 0,01 e p = 0,03, respectivamente). Foram encontradas correlações inversas entre IMC e os Domínios Vitalidade (r = -0,23, p = 0,01), AS (r = -0,23, p = 0,01) e AE (r = -0,27, p = 0,01). Conclui-se que os idosos avaliados apresentaram níveis satisfatórios de FP e QV, entretanto o sobrepeso e a obesidade influenciaram negativamente a QV. (AU)


The present study aims to evaluate the influence of overweight and obesity on the pulmonary function (PF), and quality of life (QoL) in elderly people linked to the Family Health Strategy Program in Cruz Alta-RS. We evaluated hundred elderly, ninety women. The PF was measured by forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1 ) and peak expiratory flow (PEF). The Medical Outcome Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) was used to assess QoL. It was observed 54 people with overweight or obesity. The PF was within the normal range. The higher QL scores were in the Functional Capacity (FC), General Health (EGS), and Social Aspects (SA). The overweight, and obese individuals showed lower scores in the Vitality and SA domains when compared to the eutrophic ones (p = 0.01 and p = 0.03, respectively). There was an inverse correlation between the Pain domain and the PF. Furthermore, inverse correlations were found between BMI and Vitality (r = -0.23, p = 0.01), AS (r = -0.23, p = 0.01) and EA (r = -0.27, p = 0.01) domains. Then, it was conclude that the evaluated subjects presented satisfactory levels of PF and QoL. However, high levels of BMI negatively influence their QoL. (AU)
