Quedas acidentais em mulheres de meia-idade

Abstract: OBJETIVO: Estimar a prevalência de quedas acidentais em mulheres e identificar possíveis associações de variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas e de hábitos de vida com as quedas, em 2007 e 2014. MÉTODOS: Foram realizados dois estudos transversais, em 2007 e 2014, dentro do Projeto de Saúde de Pindamonhangaba (PROSAPIN), com mulheres com idades variando de 35 a 75 anos. As amostras probabilísticas foram selecionadas dentre as mulheres residentes no município e participantes da Estratégia Saúde da Família. A cole… Show more

“…The loss of balance ability can result in falls due to a lack of neuromuscular coordination [5]. Such falls are not limited to the elderly but become more prominent from the age of 50, highlighting the need for preventive measures [6]. According to a survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2020, injuries caused by falls, especially among women, have been consistently increasing, with a significantly higher rate compared to men [7].…”

“…Os acidentes por quedas, apesar de se tornarem mais frequentes com o avançar da idade, não constituem agravos de saúde exclusivos da população idosa, ocorrendo num contexto de interação de fatores a eles associados (STOLT et al, 2020). Constituem fatores de risco para quedas, por exemplo, o sexo feminino, o declínio cognitivo, a presença de doenças crônico-degenerativas (como o Diabetes mellitus -DM), fatores ambientais, entre outros (PRATO, 2017).…”

“…[ 5 ] But falls are not limited to the elderly, their occurrence is gradually getting younger and more common in women. [ 6 ] The occurrence of falls is not only an accident, but is the result of the interaction of internal modifiable factors such as balance and gait, as well as external environmental factors such as tripping and slipping, among which the decline of balance ability is one of the main risk factors. Studies have suggested that balance function training therapy can effectively reduce the risk of falls in middle-aged and elderly people.…”

“…A systematic review showed that falls in the elderly were also significantly associated with living alone, with social isolation and loneliness as risk factors [5] . But falls are not limited to the elderly, their occurrence is gradually getting younger and more common in women [6] . The occurrence of falls is not only an accident, but is the result of the interaction of internal modifiable factors such as balance and gait, as well as external environmental factors such as tripping and slipping, among which the decline of balance ability is one of the main risk factors.…”
