“…A reversal in the global aging pyramid is currently underway, resulting in an increase in life expectancy and a reduction in birth rates, a process that is more intense in developing countries. The exponential increase in individuals aged 60 years or older, considered elderly, has resulted in a number of concerns and challenges for global health services [1][2][3] . It is projected that around 33.7% of the total population of Brazil will be considered elderly by 2060 4 .…”

Objective: To identify factors that determine the negative perception of the health of the Brazilian elderly, considering sociodemographic conditions, functional limitations and illness, patterns of utilization of health services and oral health condition. Method: A cross-sectional study with data from the National Health Survey (2013), involving 23,815 elderly persons was carried out. Once the database was treated, dimensionality reduction was performed using the Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis. The variables related to health perception were evaluated through logistic regression to measure the magnitude of the associations. Health perception and 36 independent variables were considered as outcome variables. Results: The variables most strongly related to the negative perception of the health of the elderly were illiteracy (OR=1.48), low educational level, total difficulty in performing instrumental activities of daily living (OR=2.04), impossibility of performing any activity (OR=3.20), presence of a diagnosis of physical or mental illness (OR=2.44), negative self-perception of oral health (OR=1.92), an increased need for health services in recent weeks (OR=1.16), medical visits and hospitalization in the last 12 months (OR=1.40). Conclusion: The use of multidimensional methodologies can identify the influence of determinants of a negative perception of health among Brazilian elderly persons, and can support the formulation of public health policies aimed at the elderly population.

“…Previous studies found several socio-demographic variables, including gender, that are associated with disability [11, 12, 14, 20–27]. Older adults with multiple chronic diseases, poor self-assessed health conditions, and who practice sedentary life styles had high prevalence of functional disability [28]. The study by Tareque et al [12] found that socio-economic status as measured by a wealth index from household assets was significantly associated with disability among respondents aged 5 years and over.…”

BackgroundDisability among older adults is a public health concern. To date there are no in-depth and comprehensive analyses on older adults’ disabilities in Bangladesh. This study investigated gender differences in the prevalence of disability and the socio-demographic factors associated with disability among older adults in Bangladesh.MethodsThis research used a sample of 4176 elderly males and females aged 60 years and over from a nationally representative data set- Bangladesh’s 2010 Household Income and Expenditure Survey. The study used both household level and individual level data and applied a wealth index, which was constructed based on household assets using principal component analysis. The Washington Group’s short set of questions on disability were used to measure disability. Chi-square tests and ordinal logistic regression models were fit.ResultsForty-two percent of older had some form of functional disability, including 5% of elderly with severe/extreme functional disability. Seven percent of older adults had a self-care disability, including 3% of elderly with a severe/extreme form of self-care disability. Elderly females suffered from all the studied disabilities, including functional and self-care disabilities in higher percentages, and had higher odds ratios of having both functional disability and self-care disability compared to elderly males. The study also identified some significant factors affecting functional disability and self-care disability, namely age, having a chronic condition, wealth status and place of residence, including divisional differences.ConclusionsPrograms aimed at reducing functional disability among seniors, particularly elderly females, should be granted the highest priority in Bangladesh.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12877-017-0577-2) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Physical limitations or functional incapacity refer to the difficulty or impossibility of performing daily activities, influencing the quality of life of the elderly, and are related to the loss of autonomy, increased risk of hospitalization, institutionalization and death 17 . In this study, the people with the greatest difficulties in instrumental activities of daily living were women, vulnerable elderly persons and those over 75 years of age, and so these groups should be a priority in social and health actions and strategies.…”

“…Studies have found that functional disability is associated with physical activity, nutritional status and the number of chronic noncommunicable diseases. Age also directly interferes with functional capacity, and every additional ten years lived increases the risk of functional decline approximately two fold, with elderly people aged 80 and over having a 25 times greater chance of decline in functional capacity than younger elderly persons 17,18 .…”

Objective: To analyze the vulnerability of non-institutionalized elderly persons. Method: A cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study was carried out using data of the City Health Department of Palmas, Paraná, Brazil, and the Vulnerable Elders Survey (VES-13) instrument. The questionnaires of people aged over 60 years who had answered the VES-13 questionnaire between January 2016 and December 2017 were included. The quantitative data were analyzed by the Student’s T-Test and the categorical data by the Chi-square and Fisher’s Exact Test. The correlation between the quantitative variables was performed by the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: A total of 1,062 questionnaires were analyzed, of which 57.3% were female, with a mean age 69 (±7.8) years. In total 427 individuals (40.2%) were vulnerable and 635 (59.8%) were not vulnerable according to VES-13 score. A total of 635 (59.8%) elderly persons were classified as robust, 176 (16.6%) as at risk of frailty and 251 (23.6%) as frail. Women and those over 75 years were more vulnerable (p<0.001). Conclusion: Vulnerability was related to the female sex, age over 75 years and the presence of chronic diseases, with these being the priority groups for the elaboration of intervention strategies in the health of the elderly.
