Healthy lifestyle as predictors of common mental disorder during coronavirus disease.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study was to verify the indication of common mental disorder and changes in healthy lifestyle among individuals affected by coronavirus disease, as well as to evaluate if changes in healthy lifestyle are predictors of common mental disorder. METHODS: This descriptive, cross-sectional study employed an exploratory approach and quantitative methodology, using the Self-Reporting Questionnaire to assess the indication of common mental disorder and questions regarding healthy lifestyle during the pandemic. RESULTS: A total of 280 individuals affected by coronavirus disease, aged 18 years and above, participated in the study. The average indication for common mental disorder was 5.0±5.34. The average age was characterized by adults (41.24±14.03 years), with the majority being women (57.9%), White (51.4%), and those in stable relationships (55.7%). Worsening sleep quality (ß==6.327; p<0.001) was the main predictor of common mental disorder, followed by female gender (ß==2.814; p<0.001) and worsening dietary habits (ß==2.227; p<0.012). CONCLUSION: These factors should be considered in the assessment of individuals affected by coronavirus disease to provide comprehensive care.

Cross-Sectional Study on the Association Between Respiratory Muscle Strength and Dynapenic Abdominal Obesity in Community-Dwelling Older Adults.

Purpose: Impaired respiratory muscle strength has been associated with some geriatric syndromes. However, no studies have previously evaluated the relationship between respiratory muscle strength and dynapenic abdominal obesity. This study aimed to analyze whether there is an association between respiratory muscle strength and abdominal obesity, dynapenia and dynapenic abdominal obesity (DAO) in community-dwelling older adults. Patients and Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted with community-dwelling older adults (n=382 / 70.03 ± 7.3 years) from Macapá, Amapá, Brazil. Respiratory muscle strength was assessed by measuring maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures (MIP and MEP, respectively), using an analog manovacuometry. DAO was defined as the combination of dynapenia (grip strength < 26 kgf for men and < 16 kgf for women) and abdominal obesity (abdominal circumference > 102 cm for men and > 88 cm for women). We performed descriptive and inferential statistical analyses using the student's t-test for independent and related samples and linear regression model. Results: Older adults with abdominal obesity, dynapenia, and DAO presented lower mean values (obtained and obtained versus predicted; except abdominal obesity versus MIP) for maximal respiratory pressures compared to individuals without these conditions. However, the adjusted analysis only indicated an association between MIP and the following conditions: dynapenia (MIP - ß =-0.171; p<0.001), abdominal obesity (MIP - ß=0.102; p=0.042), and DAO (MIP - ß=-0.101; p=0.028). Conclusion: Older adults with abdominal obesity, dynapenia, and DAO showed impaired maximal respiratory pressures. The results of the adjusted analysis indicate that inspiratory muscle strength may require greater attention by health professionals aiming at preventing respiratory complications and improving respiratory health care in older people with these conditions.

WHAT IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS ABOUT SCOLIOSIS?

Objective: To evaluate the knowledge about scoliosis in teachers of municipal public schools. Methods: In total, 126 professionals were interviewed using a standard questionnaire containing issues related to scoliosis. Results: 31% of interviewees did not know what scoliosis is. Of those who knew 89.65% were partially correct about the definition. Of those who claimed to know how the scoliosis diagnosis is made, only 25.58% were completely correct. When questioned about the Adams test, 84.9% did not know it. Among the interviewees, 57.9% answered that it is impossible to identify scoliosis by a simple examination of their students and, off these, 86.3% stated the lack of knowledge about the subject; and 92.1% considered that training for the diagnosis and early identification of scoliosis in students. Conclusion: This study holds social impact since the interviewed teachers were not knowledgeable about the subject and had difficulty in providing a definition of the condition and in how to proceed with the investigation. Continuous education activities and the inclusion of this subject on the curricula of teacher education programs would improve the early diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis, with high success rates. Level of Evidence IV, Economic and Decision Analyses.

Investigating Factors Associated with Fear of Falling in Community-Dwelling Older Adults through Structural Equation Modeling Analysis: A Cross-Sectional Study.

The scientific literature mentions the existence of factors associated with fear of falling in older adults. However, the direct and indirect paths of its predictors have not yet been fully explored. This study aimed to analyze the socioeconomic, clinical, and health factors directly and indirectly associated with fear of falling in community-dwelling older adults. This is a cross-sectional study conducted in older adults (n = 410 - 70.11 ± 7.22 years). Clinical and health-condition data were collected, as were data on fear of falling using the Falls Efficacy Scale International-Brazil (FES-I Brazil). It was found that being female and having a higher number of self-reported morbidities, worse physical performance, and a higher number of depressive symptoms were directly associated with greater fear of falling. Regarding indirect associations, physical inactivity, mediated by a greater number of morbidities, worse physical performance, and a greater number of depressive symptoms, was associated with greater fear of falling. In addition, worse self-rated health, mediated by a greater number of depressive symptoms, as well as older age, mediated by worse physical performance, were associated with the outcome. This study provides information on the predictors directly and indirectly associated with fear of falling, expanding current understanding of this relationship.

Musculoskeletal Symptoms in Brazilian University Drummers and Percussionists: A Cross-Sectional Study.

BACKGROUND: In recent years, the number of university drummers and percussionists in Brazil has been increasing. Extensive instrumental practice and repetitive rehearsals are related to the presence of musculoskeletal symptoms among many of these percussion instrumentalists (e.g., repique, tambourine, agogô, rattle, surdo, and snare drums). Musculoskeletal injuries increase the costs of medical exams and treatment in percussionists. OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to analyze the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms in Brazilian university drummers and percussionists. METHOD: An electronic survey addressing demographic features and musculoskeletal signs and symptoms was distributed via social media to university drummers and percussionists in Brazil from July to November 2021. The target sample included university drummers and percussionists over age 18 years, with no gender restrictions, more than 6 months of instrumental practice, and either enrolled in undergraduate studies for more than 1 year or completed undergraduate studies less than 1 year ago. The prevalence and severity of musculoskeletal signs and symptoms were analyzed by body region using the adapted Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. RESULTS: A total of 103 responses were collected from 2,640 emails sent (3.9% response rate with a 99% completion rate). Sixty participants were female (58.25%). A high frequency of pain and discomfort was reported among the students when participating in battery activities (85.58%). In the last 6 months, wrist/hand was the most involved region (50%), followed by the lower back (45.19%) and shoulders (39.42%). In the last 7 days, the three areas most affected areas when participants were active on the drums were the wrists/hands (75%), shoulders (51.92%), and upper back (33.65%). CONCLUSION: Most Brazilian university drummers and percussionists had experienced musculoskeletal pain. This pain may be related to repetitive movements, inadequate postures, or use of excessive force during performance and practice.

Predictive Factors for the Risk of Sexual Dysfunction in Climacteric Women: Population-based Study.

BACKGROUND: It is known that sexual problems increase with age but little is known about the predictors of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in Brazilian climacteric women. AIM: To identify predictive factors for FSD in climacteric women. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional population-based study carried out through a household survey. OUTCOMES: The measures investigated were sociodemographic characteristics, depressive symptoms, level of physical activity, presence of FSD, self-rated health and sleep satisfaction. RESULT: A total of 381 climacteric, sexually active women were included, with a mean age of 55.04 (±7.21) years. The prevalence of FSD was 38.3%. All variables investigated were associated with FSD (P < .05). In the final model, the predictors for FSD were low satisfaction with sleep (OR 4.20; 95% CI 2.32-7.62), advanced age (OR 1.04; 95% CI 1.00-1.08), low education level (OR 0.90; 95% CI 0.85-0.97) and having a partner (OR 0.35; 95% CI 0.16-0.76). CLINICAL IMPLICATION: These aspects deserve attention from the health team to prevent and identify FSD early in life in climacteric women. STRENGTHS & LIMITATIONS: This study support existing data about risk factors for FSD in climacteric women. However, it is not possible to attribute causality to any of the correlates identified, which is a limitation of cross-sectional studies. CONCLUSION: Dissatisfaction with sleep, senility, insufficient income, low education, not having a partner, complaints of depression, and the worse perception of global health are predictive factors for FSD in climacteric women.

Intervenção com o método Pilates em trabalhadores com LER/DORT / Intervention with the Pilates method in workers with RSI/WMSD

O presente estudo é do tipo quase experimental e teve como objetivo verificar os efeitos da intervenção com o Método Pilates (MP) na presença e intensidade dos sintomas musculoesqueléticos, na força de preensão palmar e na flexibilidade toracolombar de trabalhadores com lesões por esforços repetitivos/distúrbios osteomusculares relacionados ao trabalho (LER/DORT). Participaram trabalhadores encaminhados para atendimento fisioterapêutico a um serviço municipal de nível secundário de atenção à saúde. Foi disponibilizada aos pesquisadores uma lista com 605 usuários com diagnóstico de afecções musculoesqueléticas (sem referência se as afecções tinham ou não relação com o trabalho). Realizou-se contato telefônico para identificar quais eram trabalhadores, convidando-os a participar da pesquisa. Os 244 trabalhadores que aceitaram foram agendados; e, destes, 166 compareceram, sendo avaliados os aspectos sociodemográficos, ocupacionais, história clínica detalhada, sintomas musculoesqueléticos e exame físico, permitindo o estabelecimento do nexo causal (diagnóstico de LER/DORT) para 142 desses trabalhadores. Destes, 17 apresentaram disponibilidade para participar da intervenção nos dias e horários disponibilizados para a aplicação do MP. O protocolo foi constituído por 12 exercícios, por seis semanas, com duração de 60 minutos. Os resultados do MP foram significantes (p<0,05) na redução do número de trabalhadores com sintomas nas regiões dos ombros e punhos/mãos, redução significante da intensidade dos sintomas em oito das nove regiões corporais avaliadas e aumento significante da força da mão não dominante. O MP proporcionou efeitos positivos na redução dos sintomas das LER/DORT.

The aim of the present quasi-experimental study was to verify the effects of intervention with the Pilates Method (PM) on the presence and intensity of musculoskeletal symptoms, handgrip strength and thoracolumbar flexibility of workers with Repetitive Strain Injuries/Musculoskeletal Disorders Work Related (LER/DORT). Workers referred for physical therapy care to a municipal service at the secondary level of health care participated. A list of 605 users with a diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders was made available to the researchers (without reference to whether the disorders were related to work or not). Telephone contact was made to identify which workers were, inviting them to participate in the research. The 244 workers who accepted were scheduled and, of these, 166 attended, and the sociodemographic, occupational, detailed medical history, musculoskeletal symptoms and physical examination were evaluated, allowing the establishment of the causal link (RSI/WMSD diagnosis) for 142 of these workers. Of these, 17 were available to participate in the intervention on the days and times available for the application of the MP. The protocol consisted of 12 exercises, for six weeks, lasting 60 minutes. The MP results were significant for a reduction in the number of workers with symptoms for the shoulder and wrist/hand regions, a significant reduction in the intensity of symptoms for eight of the nine body regions evaluated, and a significant increase in the strength of the non-dominant hand. MP provided positive effects in reducing RSI/WMSD symptoms.

Translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Work Role Functioning Questionnaire 2.0 into Brazilian Portuguese in a general population.

BACKGROUND: The Work Role Functioning Questionnaire 2.0 (WRFQ 2.0) is an instrument that measures the difficulties perceived by workers in meeting work demands, given their physical or emotional health, but it has not yet been adapted for Brazil. Thus, this study aimed to translate, cross-culturally adapt and assess the psychometric properties of the WRFQ 2.0 into Brazilian Portuguese. METHODS: This is an observational study. Initially, translation and cross-cultural adaptation into Brazilian Portuguese was carried out. After that, this version was submitted to an evaluation of its internal structure. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability were assessed. To determine the construct validity, Spearman's correlation coefficient (rho) was used to determine the magnitude of correlation between the WRFQ 2.0 and the Work Ability Index (WAI), Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and Self -Estimated Functional Inability because of Pain (SEFIP-work). RESULTS: The internal structure with five domains and 27 items presented adequate fit indices for the Brazilian version of the WRFQ 2.0. Adequate correlations of the five domains of the WRFQ 2.0 with the NPRS, WAI and SEFIP-work were found (rho ranged between 0.145 and 0.338). The test-retest reliability of the WRFQ 2.0 ranged from substantial to excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient ≥ 0.785) and internal consistency was adequate (Cronbach's alpha ≥ 0.852). CONCLUSION: The Brazilian Portuguese version of the WRFQ 2.0 presents valid internal structure with five domains and 27 items, adequate construct based on correlations with other instruments, and acceptable test-retest reliability and internal consistency.

Relações entre sedentarismo e mobilidade com e sem dupla tarefa em idosos usuários da atenção básica em saúde / Relationships between sedentarism and mobility with and without double task among older adult users of primary health care

Os efeitos do sedentarismo nos sistemas musculoesquelético e neuromuscular podem influenciar negativamente o desempenho dos idosos em atividades com dupla-tarefa, o que aumenta o risco de quedas, declínio funcional e morte. O objetivo foi investigar as relações entre sedentarismo e mobilidade com e sem dupla tarefa em idosos usuários da atenção básica em saúde. Trata-se de estudo transversal, com 139 idosos que frequentam três unidades matriciais de saúde aleatoriamente selecionadas, em Uberaba, Minas Gerais. O sedentarismo foi avaliado pelo International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), sendo classificados como sedentários os idosos inativos ou insuficientemente ativos. O estado cognitivo foi avaliado pela Prova Cognitiva de Leganés. A mobilidade com e sem dupla tarefa, bem como, a força muscular foram avaliadas por testes de desempenho físico. As características sociodemográficas e o número de medica- mentos foram avaliados por autorrelato. Os modelos multivariados foram testados por regressão linear múltipla em blocos, com intervalo de confiança de 95%. A maioria era mulheres (81,3%); idade média 66,96 (8,24) anos; 17,3% eram sedentários. Pior desempenho na mobilidade com dupla tarefa motora (p=0,040) e com dupla tarefa cognitiva (p=0,040) foi observado entre os idosos sedentários. O sedentarismo foi preditor de baixa mobilidade com dupla-tarefa motora e cognitiva controlado por variáveis sociodemográficas, entretanto, tais efeitos não se mantiveram após inclusão de variáveis de saúde. Não foram observadas relações entre sedentarismo e mobilidade sem dupla tarefa. Conclui-se que o sedentarismo influencia a mobilidade com dupla tarefa motora e cognitiva em idosos, porém outras condições de saúde podem interferir nessas relações.(AU)

The effects of sedentarism on the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems may negatively influence performance of older adults in dual-task activities, which increases risk of falls, functional decline, and death. The objective was to investigate the relationships between sedentarism and mobility with and without double tasks among older adult usersof primary health care. This is a cross-sectional study with 139 older adults from three health care units randomly selected in the city of Uberaba, Minas Gerais. Sedentarism was identified by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Inactive or insuf- ficiently active elderly individuals were classified as sedentary. Cognitive status was assessed by the Leganés Cognitive Test. Mobility with and without double tasks, as well as, muscle strength were assessed by physical performance tests. Sociodemographic characteristics and number of medications were assessed by self-report. Multiple linear regressions were performed in blocks, with 95% confidence interval. Most participants were women (81.3%); whose average age was 66.96 (8.24) years; 17.3% were sedentary. Poorer performance in mobility with double motor task (p = 0.040) and double cognitive task (p = 0.040) was observed among sedentary participants. In multivariate models, physical inactivity influenced the motor and cognitive double-tasks performance controlled by sociodemographic variables; however, such effects were not remained after inclusion of health variables. No relationships were observed between sedentarism and mobility without double tasks. In conclusion, sedentarism influences mobility with dual motor and cognitive tasks among older adults, but other health conditions may play a role in these relationships.(AU)

RESUMO Objetiva-se determinar a prevalência de mulheres com risco de desenvolvimento de câncer de mama pelo histórico familiar em Uberaba (MG), e essa prevalência nas diferentes condições socioeconômicas e epidemiológicas. Pesquisa quantitativa, analítica, observacional e transversal de base populacional. Amostra com 1.520 mulheres a partir de 20 anos. Dados coletados por entrevistas domiciliares sobre informações socioeconômicas e epidemiológicas. A avaliação do risco hereditário de câncer de mama foi realizada pelo Family History Screen-7 (FHS-7). Como resultado, 28,6% da amostra apresentaram risco hereditário para câncer de mama. Houve associação significativa do risco de câncer quanto a: faixa etária, sendo nas mulheres com idade de 70 anos ou mais a maior proporção com risco (33,5%); etnia, sendo a maior proporção entre mulheres de etnia branca (31,2%); renda familiar, com maior ocorrência para renda per capita > 2,5 salários-mínimos (31,6%); prática de exames preventivos (30,6%); e alterações benignas na mama (46,7%). Conclui-se que, a partir do histórico familiar pelo FHS-7, o risco de as mulheres desenvolverem câncer mostrou-se significativamente associado com maior faixa etária, etnia branca e maior renda per capita, com a prática de exames preventivos em dia e alterações benignas na mama. Tais resultados possibilitam melhores direcionamentos de políticas públicas.

ABSTRACT The objective is to determine the prevalence of women at risk of developing breast cancer by family history in Uberaba (MG), and this prevalence in different socioeconomic and epidemiological conditions. Quantitative, analytical, observational and cross-sectional population-based research. Sample with 1.520 women aged 20 years and over. Data collected by household interviews on socioeconomic and epidemiological information. The assessment of the hereditary risk of breast cancer was performed using the Family History Screen-7 (FHS-7). As a result, 28.6% of the sample had a hereditary risk for breast cancer. There was a significant association between the risk of cancer regarding: age group, with women aged 70 years or older being the highest proportion at risk (33.5%); ethnicity, with the highest proportion among women of white ethnicity (31.2%); family income, with a higher occurrence for per capita income > 2.5 minimum wages (31.6%); practice of preventive exams (30.6%); and benign changes in the breast (46.7%). It is concluded that, based on the family history by FHS-7, the risk of women developing cancer was significantly associated with older age, white ethnicity and higher per capita income, with the practice of preventive exams up to date and benign alterations in the breast. Such results make it possible to better direct public policies.

RESUMO O objetivo do estudo é descrever o perfil de três grupos de mulheres: aparentemente saudáveis (não doentes-ND); com doenças cardiovasculares (DC); e com doenças respiratórias (DR) crônicas. A pesquisa comparou esses grupos conforme variáveis sociodemográficas (faixa etária, escolaridade, etnia e renda familiar) e dados sobre qualidade de vida (QV), segundo domínios: físico, psicológico, relações sociais e meio ambiente. Este estudo é caracterizado como quantitativo, analítico, observacional e transversal de base populacional, com informações extraídas do Inquérito de Saúde da Mulher, realizado na cidade de Uberaba-MG. Foram entrevistadas 1.387 mulheres, com o objetivo de coletar informações sobre DC, DR, idade, escolaridade, etnia e renda familiar. A QV foi estudada por meio do WHOQOL - Bref, segundo os quatro domínios. Foi realizado levantamento estatístico, descritivo e inferencial. Identificou-se que o grupo com DC é formado por mulheres com idade a partir de 50 anos e baixa escolaridade, em oposição ao grupo de mulheres com DR, que são mais jovens e possuem escolaridade superior. Quanto à QV, as mulheres com DC (31,65%) apresentaram níveis inferiores em relação às mulheres com DR (19,10%), nos domínios: físico (50,6;54,0;<0,0001), psicológico (55,1;58,7;<0,0001), relações sociais (75,8;77,2;0,0055) e meio ambiente (41,7;43,0;0,0173), valores em média. Portanto, o domínio de QV que obteve menor pontuação para todos os grupos foi o meio ambiente e as mulheres com DC apresentaram valores mais baixos, estatisticamente significativos, para todas as categorias.

ABSTRACT This study aims to describe the profile of three groups of women; apparently healthy (non-sick - NS); with cardiovascular diseases (CD); and with chronic respiratory diseases (RD). These groups were compared according to sociodemographic variables (age group, education, ethnicity, and family income) and quality of life (QoL) data, composing the domains: physical, psychological, social relations, and environment. This study is characterized as quantitative, analytical, observational, and cross-sectional population-based, with information extracted from the Women's Health Survey, conducted in the city of Uberaba-MG. A total of 1,387 women were interviewed, and information on CD, RD, age, education, ethnicity and family income were collected. The QoL was studied using WHOQOL - BREF, according to its four domains. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed. The CD group is composed of women aged 50 years and older and low education level, in contrast to the women of the RD group , who are younger and have higher education level. As for QoL, women with CD (31.65%) had lower levels than women with RD (19.10%), in the domains: physical (50.6;54.0;<0.0001), psychological (55.1;58.7;<0.0001), social relations (75.8;77.2;0.0055), and environment (41.7;43.0;0.0173), values on average and p, respectively. Therefore, the QoL domain that obtained the lowest score for all groups was the environment and women with CD presented lower values for all categories, which were statistically significant.

A utilização da abordagem familiar por residentes multiprofissionais em saúde: estudo de caso / The use of the family approach by multiprofessional residents in health: case study

Objetivou-se descrever o empreendimento da abordagem familiar, por meio de um trabalho interprofissional, em um centro de saúde escola na Atenção Básica à Saúde/Estratégia Saúde da Família. Trata-se de um estudo de caso descritivo sobre a abordagem familiar, utilizando-se como referencial teórico-metodológico o Modelo Calgary de Avaliação Familiar. Foram realizadas visitas domiciliares para engajamento, avaliação e intervenção, tendo em vista a abordagem da estrutura, desenvolvimento e funcionalidade da família. Foram empregados os instrumentos: Genograma e Ecomapa, Estágio de Ciclo de Vida Familiar e Apgar. Identificados como problemas crenças disfuncionais relacionadas ao cuidado da saúde; comunicação disfuncional entre os membros; ausência de referência de autoridade para os adolescentes; conflito importante entre os progenitores. O plano de intervenções foi composto por validação das demandas pelos membros da família; orientações técnicas sobre prevenção, promoção e recuperação da saúde e sobre comunicação assertiva, como a reflexão sobre os papéis exercidos no intuito de trabalhar a responsabilização dos progenitores. Acredita-se que a abordagem familiar executada por equipe multiprofissional se constitui como estratégia alternativa capaz de auxiliar na reversão do modelo hegemônico de saúde, fortalecendo a integralidade do cuidado na Atenção Básica preconizada pelo Sistema Único de Saúde.

Factors related to self-rated quality of life among women with fibromyalgia according to International Classification of Functioning / Fatores relacionados a qualidade de vida autorrelatada em mulheres com fibromialgia de acordo com a Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Fibromyalgia is characterized by diffuse pain, which may compromise the self-rated quality of life (SRQoL). Little is known about the influence of psychosocial and environmental factors on SRQoL in women with fibromyalgia. The objective was to investigate factors related to SRQol among women with fibromyalgia, according to International Classification of Functioning domain. METHODS A cross-sectional population-based study was performed with 1,557 women. Those who self-reported fibromyalgia answered the Fibromyalgia Impact Index. SRQoL was evaluated by questions ranging from 1 (unsatisfied) to 3 (very satisfied). Exposures included personal and environmental factors distributed in four blocks according to hypothesized influence on outcome. Multiple linear regression was performed, considering 95% of confidence interval, using IBM SPSS version 24. RESULTS Income sufficiency was related to higher SRQoL in model 1. Physical environment was related to SRQoL in model 2, 3 and 4. Functional capacity measurement was related to SRQoL in model 4. In the final model, only depressive symptoms (ß:-0.374; CI: -0.037/ -0.004) and number of painful body areas (ß: 0.204; CI: -0.102/-0.001) remained significantly related to SRQoL, explaining 27% of the variance. CONCLUSION SRQoL was related to depressive symptoms and number of painful body areas even after controlled by socioeconomic, environment and health status. However, other aspects may mediate or moderate that outcome, deserving attention in a biopsychosocial approach. The results highlighted the relevance of biopsychosocial aspects on quality of life of women with fibromyalgia, addressing factors that could be approached in clinical practice to promote health and well-being.

RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS Fibromialgia é caracterizada por dor difusa, que pode comprometer a qualidade de vida autorrelatada (QVAR). Sabe-se pouco sobre a influência de fatores psicossociais e ambientais na QVAR em mulheres com fibromialgia. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar fatores relacionados à QVAR entre mulheres com fibromialgia, segundo o domínio da Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade. MÉTODOS Estudo transversal de base populacional realizado com 1.557 mulheres. Aquelas que se autorrelataram com fibromialgia responderam ao Índice de Impacto da Fibromialgia (n=115). A QVAR foi avaliada por questões que variavam de 1 (insatisfeita) a 3 (muito satisfeita). As exposições incluíram fatores pessoais e ambientais distribuídos em quatro blocos de acordo com a influência hipotética no desfecho. Foi realizada regressão linear múltipla, considerando 95% do intervalo de confiança, utilizando-se a versão 24 do IBM SPSS. RESULTADOS Suficiência de renda foi relacionada à maior QVAR no modelo 1. Ambiente físico estava relacionado à QVAR nos modelos 2, 3 e 4. Medição da capacidade funcional esteve relacionada à QVAR no modelo 4. Apenas sintomas depressivos (ß:-0,374; IC: -0,037/ -0,004) e número de áreas corporais dolorosas (ß: 0,204; IC: -0,102/-0,001) mantiveram-se significativamente relacionado à QVAR, explicando 27% da variância. CONCLUSÃO QVAR esteve relacionada a sintomas depressivos e número de áreas corporais dolorosas mesmo depois de controlada por condição socioeconômica, ambiental e saúde. Outros aspectos podem mediar esse desfecho, merecendo atenção na abordagem biopsicossocial. Os resultados destacaram relevância dos aspectos biopsicossociais na qualidade de vida das mulheres com fibromialgia, recorrendo a fatores que poderiam ser abordados na prática clínica para promover saúde e bem-estar.
