ABSTRACT
This study aimed to investigate the association between simultaneity of leisure-time physical inactivity and high television time with the presence of chronic diseases in adults and older adults in Brazil. We analyzed secondary data from Vigitel 2013 database, a cross-sectional national survey. It was included 37 947 adults (18-59 years) and 14 982 older adults (≥60 years) living in Brazilian state capitals. The association was between simultaneity of risk behaviors considering leisure-time physical inactivity (<10 min/day) and high television time (≥2 h/day), with the presence of chronic diseases (diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension and obesity), measured according to the age group. We performed a binary logistic regression, crude and adjusted analysis, using weighted to reflect population estimates. In adults, there was an association between leisure-time physical inactivity and television time with the presence of diseases. In practice, the simultaneity of risk behaviors when compared with those without risk behavior had higher odds for diabetes (OR = 1.83), dyslipidemia (OR = 1.17), hypertension (OR = 1.54) and obesity (OR = 1.60). In older adults, the simultaneity was associated with diabetes (OR = 1.61), hypertension (OR = 1.33) and obesity (OR = 1.81). We concluded that for adults and older adults the simultaneity of leisure-time physical inactivity and high television time increased the odds for the presence of chronic disease, especially for diabetes and obesity.

The scope of this study was to describe reports of violence against the elderly (e" 60 years) reported in the Information System for Notifiable Diseases - net version (Sinan Net) in 2010. We conducted a descriptive, retrospective study with data analyzed by Stata version 11. We estimated proportion ratios (PR) of violence according to selected variables. Of the 3,593 reports of violence against the elderly, 52.3% were against females. Physical violence was significantly more frequent against males (PR=0.82) in the group aged 60 to 69 years, out of the home, committed by offenders who were not sons and were suspected of drinking alcohol. Psychological violence was more common among elderly people (PR=2.17), in the home, inflicted by sons, with suspected chronic alcohol abuse. Negligence was predominant among females (P R=1.24), in the group above 70 years of age, in the home, recurrently perpetrated by sons. Sexual violence was more common against females (PR=5.21), by offenders who were not children, but who consumed alcohol. The knowledge of the different manifestations of violence against the elderly supports actions to combat them, identifying characteristics of vulnerability in which support networks may intervene.

O objetivo do estudo foi descrever notificações de violência contra os idosos (> 60 anos) captadas pelo Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação - versão net (Sinan Net) em 2010. Realizou-se estudo descritivo, retrospectivo, com dados analisados no Stata versão 11. Estimaram-se razões de proporção (RP) de violência segundo variáveis selecionadas. Das 3.593 notificações de violência contra idosos, 52,3% eram referentes ao sexo feminino. A violência física foi significativamente mais frequente no sexo masculino (RP = 0,82), no grupo com 60 a 69 anos, fora do domicílio, praticada por agressores que não eram filhos, com suspeita de ingestão de bebida alcoólica. A violência psicológica foi mais frequente entre idosas (RP = 2,17), no domicílio, infligida pelos filhos, com suspeita de uso de bebida alcoólica e de maneira crônica. A negligência predominou no sexo feminino (RP = 1,24), no grupo a partir de 70 anos, no domicílio, perpetrada pelos filhos e recorrente. A violência sexual foi mais comum no sexo feminino (RP = 5,21), por agressores que não eram filhos, mas que consumiram bebida alcoólica. O conhecimento das diferentes manifestações da violência contra idosos subsidia ações para o seu enfrentamento, identificando características de vulnerabilidade onde as redes de apoio podem intervir.
