RESUMO
O objetivo deste artigo é investigar aspectos socioambientais associados às quedas em idosos residentes no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Estudo descritivo, transversal, populacional, de base domiciliar, com coleta de dados primários, pertencente a um inquérito epidemiológico realizado no período de 2010 a 2011, com 6751 idosos de 59 cidades do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, denominado Perfil dos Idosos do RS. A associação entre o desfecho quedas e as variáveis independentes foram analisadas de forma univariada e múltipla, através de regressão logística, calculando desta forma a chance associada à queda, ajustando por sexo e idade. A frequência de quedas foi de 10,7%. Observamos serem fatores protetores sexo masculino, maior escolaridade, percepção de insegurança e falta de bancos em locais públicos, participação em atividades sociais e cívicas. Foram considerados fatores de risco faixa etária mais elevada, uso de órtese e participação em atividades comunitárias. Os resultados mantiveram-se significativos nas análises ajustadas. As quedas são comumente associadas a aspectos físicos e comportamentais, no entanto, as variáveis socioambientais também demonstram ser significativas nesse processo.
ABSTRACT
This article seeks to investigate environmental aspects that may be associated with falls among elderly residents in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. It is a population-based, descriptive, cross-sectional study, with primary data collection taken from an epidemiological study entitled A Profile of the Elderly in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The study was conducted between the years of 2010 and 2011 with 6751 elderly individuals in 59 cities in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The association between falling and the independent variables was verified by univariate and multivariate analysis, to estimate chances of falling, adjusted for sex and age. The frequency of falls was 10.7%. Factors detected to be effective against falling being male, having higher education, perception of insecurity, placing of seats in public places and participation in social and civic activities. The following were considered risk factors old age, use of walking aids and participation in community activities. The results remained significant after adjustment for demographic factors. Falling is commonly associated with physical and behavioral aspects, though social and environmental factors also prove significant in this respect.
