ABSTRACT:The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and factors associated with functional disability in the elderly. The cross-sectional design was used with a sample of 624 individuals, between 60 and 96 years of age. In the assessment of the elderly interviews and physical performance tests were used. In the inferential data analysis, the Poisson regression was used, p≤0.05. The prevalence of disability was 17.6% for Basic Activities of Daily Living and 46.3% for Instrumental Activities of Daily Living. Functional disability for Basic Activities of Daily Living was associated with increasing age, alcohol consumption, depressive symptoms and frailty; the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living were associated with increasing age, illiteracy, multigenerational family arrangement, hospitalization and fragility. The variables that remained in the explanatory model for the decline of functional capacity should be emphasized in proposals for public policies to promote the health of the elderly. DESCRIPTORS:Health of the elderly. Activities of daily living. Geriatric nursing. PREVALÊNCIA DE INCAPACIDADE FUNCIONAL E FATORES ASSOCIADOS EM IDOSOS LA PREVALENCIA DE LA DISCAPACIDAD Y LOS FACTORES ASOCIADOS EN LOS ANCIANOSRESUMEN: El objetivo fue estimar la prevalencia y los factores asociados a la discapacidad. Se utilizó diseño transversal, con muestra de 624 individuos de edades comprendidas entre 60 a 96 años. En la evaluación fueron utilizados entrevista y pruebas de rendimiento físico. En análisis de datos inferencial se utilizó regresión de Poisson, p≤0,05. La prevalencia de discapacidad fue 17,6% para las Actividades Básicas de la Vida Diaria y 46,3% en las actividades instrumentales de la vida diaria. La incapacidad funcional para Actividades Básicas de la Vida Diaria se asoció con la edad, consumo de alcohol, síntomas depresivos y fragilidad; actividades instrumentales de la vida diaria se asociaron con la edad, analfabetismo, disposición de la familia multigeneracional, hospitalización y fragilidad. Las variables que se mantuvieron en el modelo explicativo de la disminución de la capacidad funcional deben hacerse hincapié en la elaboración de políticas públicas para promover la salud de los ancianos. DESCRIPTORES:Salud del anciano. Actividades cotidianas. Enfermería geriátrica.

The aim of this study was to examine the sociodemographic, health and behavioural characteristics related to non-participation of elderly people in activities offered by the program PROETI Health of Uberaba, Minas Gerais state. Observational study, case-control design with pairing 1:1 and sample composed of 220 elderly 60-80 years. Binary Logistic Regression was used to identify the sociodemographic, health and behavioral factors associated with non-engagement of non-users to the program. After hierarchical analysis, the non-engagement of the elderly in the program activities was associated with depressive symptoms, insufficient physical activity in the domain of leisure and reduced self-efficacy for performing moderate or vigorous physical activity. The characteristics identified in this study should receive priority attention in the formulation of community programs targeted at promoting physical activity for elderly people.

3.53 segundos nas ABVD e > 2.47 segundos nas AIVD para homens e para as mulheres foi > 3.41 segundos nas ABVD e > 3.19 segundos nas AIVD. O tempo de velocidade da caminhada pode ser utilizado em inquéritos e intervenções populacionais como indicador da incapacidade funcional nos idosos.]]>

Objetivo: analisar a efetividade da intervenção comunitária com a utilização do guia domiciliar de exercícios físicos nas variáveis da aptidão funcional. Métodos: participaram do estudo 91 mulheres com idade ≥ 61 anos, divididas em grupo intervenção (n=49) e controle (n=42). As idosas realizaram testes de desempenho físico antes e após 12 semanas de intervenção. A intervenção foi realizada com o uso de um guia domiciliar de exercícios físicos associados a estratégias motivacionais (ligações telefônicas e visitas domiciliares). Utilizaram-se procedimentos da estatística descritiva e inferencial (teste de qui-quadrado, teste t de student para amostras independentes e ANOVA de medidas repetidas, p<0,05). Resultados: ao final da intervenção as idosas do GI apresentaram melhorias para as variáveis de resistência de membros superiores e inferiores e resistência aeróbia. Conclusão: a intervenção domiciliar de baixa interação com o uso de guia de exercícios físicos teve impacto positivo na saúde das idosas.

The aim of the study was to describe the logical model of a home intervention using a motivational strategy to improve physical fitness components in female older adults. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 91 elderly women between 61 and 80 years old, divided into intervention (IG) and control (CG) groups. The participants also answered a questionnaire with sociodemographic information, stage of behaviour change, physical activity and physical performance tests, before and after 12 weeks of intervention. The intervention was performed using a guide with home-based physical exercise associated with motivational strategies (telephone calls and home visits). e intervention with reduced interaction was planned to have a low financial cost, both in relation to the physical space and the materials necessary to practice the home-based physical activities, making feasible the applicability in different places. The logical model provides insight into the intervention and its phases of planning, implementation, and evaluation.
