ABSTRACT
Objective To know the prevalence and factors associated to low cognitive performance in a representative sample of the adult population in a society aging progressively. Method Cross-sectional population-based study carried out in a three-stage sampling 81 census tracts (primary sampling unity) were randomly selected, followed by 1,672 households and 2,471 participants (weighted sample) corresponding to the second and third stages, respectively. The outcome prevalence was calculated according sociodemographic, behavioral and health related variables. Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios were estimated using Poisson regression. Results The prevalence of low cognitive performance was high, mainly among females, and indicated linear trends into categories of age, schooling, income, plasma fibrinogen and self-reported health status. In multivariate models, gender, diabetes, fibrinogen and self-reported health status presented positive associations, while schooling, employment and sitting time presented negative associations with the outcome. Conclusion Interventions related to diabetes and fibrinogen levels control as well as improvement in health care might delay low cognitive performance in societies aging progressively as such the study population. .
RESUMO
Objetivo Estimar a prevalência e os fatores associados ao baixo desempenho cognitivo em amostra representativa de adultos pertencentes a uma população com envelhecimento progressivo. Método Estudo transversal, de base populacional, conduzido em amostra selecionada em três estágios 81 setores censitários (unidade primária de amostragem) foram selecionados aleatoriamente, seguidos por 1.672 domicílios e 2.471 participantes (amostra ponderada), correspondendo ao segundo e terceiro estágios, respectivamente. A prevalência do desfecho foi calculada segundo fatores sociodemográficos, comportamentais e relacionados à saúde. Razões de prevalência brutas e ajustadas foram estimadas pela regressão de Poisson. Resultados A prevalência de baixo desempenho cognitivo foi elevada, principalmente nas mulheres, indicando gradiente linear em relação à idade, à escolaridade, à renda, aos níveis de fibrinogênio e à saúde autorreferida. Nos modelos multivariados, sexo, diabetes, fibrinogênio e saúde autorreferida apresentaram associações positivas, enquanto escolaridade, trabalho e tempo sentado apresentaram associações negativas com o desfecho.
