ABSTRACT

Introdução: O Exame Cognitivo Cambridge (CAMCOG) é um instrumento breve para avaliação cognitiva. É composto por subescalas que representam diversos domínios cognitivos (orientação, linguagem, memória, atenção, praxia, percepção, cálculo e pensamento abstrato). Escores totais adequados permitem definir comprometimento em nível de demência. Entretanto, tais escores totais nem sempre representam o desempenho real de um indivíduo, pois é possível obter escores baixos em determinado(s) domínio(s) e ainda manter um escore total dentro da variação normal. Objetivo: Obter valores do CAMCOG total e das subescalas de indivíduos idosos normais com diferentes níveis de escolaridade. O interesse crescente na definição de estágios pré-demência é uma razão importante do presente estudo. Métodos: Foram avaliados com CAMCOG idosos normais residindo na comunidade, divididos em três grupos de acordo com o nível de escolaridade. Foi realizada análise estatística para comparar a significância dos escores (total e subescalas) entre os grupos. Resultados: Os valores médios do CAMCOG total mostraram aumento com a escolaridade, o mesmo tendo sido observado em relação aos escores das subescalas. Conclusão: As subescalas do CAMCOG relacionados com os níveis de escolaridade são necessárias para identificar indivíduos que apresentam diminuição de valores em um ou mais domínios cognitivos, apesar de apresentar o escore total dentro da variação da normalidade, o que pode caracterizar um estado de comprometimento cognitivo pré-demência...


Introduction: The Cambridge Cognitive Examination (CAMCOG) is a brief tool for cognitive assessment. It is composed of subscales that represent various cognitivedomains (orientation, language, memory, attention, praxis, perception, calculation and abstract thinking). Appropriate total scores permit to define impairment in the dementia level. However, such total scores do not always represent the real performance of the subject as it is possible to obtain low scores in certain domain(s) yet maintaining a total score in the normal range. Objective: To obtain data of CAMCOG total and subscales scores of normal elderly subjects with different educational levels. The growing interest in defining pre-dementia stages is an important reason of the present study. Methods: Community living normal elderly, divided in three groups according to their education level were assessed with CAMCOG. Statistic analysis was performed to compare significance of the scores (total and subscales) among the groups. Results: Total CAMCOG mean values increased with education, and the same was observed in relation to the subscales scores. Conclusion: CAMCOG subscales related to education levels are necessary to identify subjects who present decreased values on one or more cognitive domain despite total scores within normal range, which may characterize a pre-dementia cognitive impairment state...

Este rastreo se realiza con una actividad conocida con el nombre de "Seguimiento a Usuario", que consta de diversas áreas, entre ellas: la médica, la nutricional, la relacionada con la actividad física y de apoyo social. Las personas entrevistadas pasaron por cada una de ellas, respondiendo las preguntas diseñadas, permitiendo recolectar información valiosa y precisa para direccionar la intervención en el siguiente año.El método utilizado fue aleatorio, con una muestra representativa de 1.171 personas ofreciendo un universo amplio, por esta razón la herramienta para el análisis de datos fue el R.En este artículo se encontrará la información exclusivamente del área de apoyo social, indagación que fue recolectada con el cuestionario de apoyo social Moss. Herramienta que posibilita hacer seguimiento a los usuarios a través de las subescalas que posee el instrumento como: apoyo emocional, instrumental, interacción positiva y apoyo afectivo involucrando características específicas del acompañamiento social, población y personalidad.


Integral attention given by Instituto de Deporte y Recreación, INDER Medellín, to its users, is a main goal to its social intervention strategy. Therefore, its interest to show the upgrades that the attended population has obtained during a period of time, involving a tracking to the different actions that the program Medellín en Movimiento contemplate, for example: white-hair in the air, nocturne and early riser, sports without limits, aerobics and promotion health centers. This tracking is done by an activity known as "user monitoring", which has diverse areas, among them: medical, nutritional, physical activity related and psychological. Interviewed people pass through them, answering the design questions, allowing to collect precious and precise information to direct the intervention in the following year. The used method was random with a representative sample of people offering a wide universe that is why the data analysis tool was the R. In this article you will find exclusively the information related to the psychology area, inquiry that was collected with the social support questionnaire Moss. This tool makes possible a user monitoring through subscales that the test itself has, like emotional and instrumental support, positive interaction and affective support, involving specific features of social support, population and personality.
