“…Respiratory diseases were confirmed as an important cause of death among the elderly, corroborating the findings of other authors. 6,7,19 Generally speaking, mortality rates by selected respiratory diseases usually differ between the sexes in the age groups studied, but behave similarly in terms of trends throughout the period.…”

“…4,7,10 In Brazil, data from the Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade (Mortality Information System) indicates the growing importance of hospital admissions and deaths due to respiratory diseases among the elderly, even considering the ageing of the population. 6 In 1995, in São Paulo State, the proportional rate of mortality due to pneumonia among persons older than 70 years was 9%, with a specific mortality of 594.03 per 100,000 population. In the 60-70 years age group, 1,676 deaths were registered, with a proportional mortality of 4.75% and a specific rate of 101.39 per 100,000 population.…”

“…In the 60-70 years age group, 1,676 deaths were registered, with a proportional mortality of 4.75% and a specific rate of 101.39 per 100,000 population. 6,20 We calculated the annual ratio between standardized male/female rates and evaluated changes in this relationship throughout the years using simple linear regression models. We considered p-values above 0.05 as indicative of an absence of change in this ratio within the studied period.…”

ObjectiveRespiratory diseases, especially infectious ones, are becoming increasingly representative in the morbidity and mortality patterns of elderly persons. The aim of the present study was to analyze trends in the mortality by respiratory diseases and to observe the impact of influenza vaccination on mortality rates. MethodsThe study was carried out between 1980 and 2000. Subjects were elderly persons living in the State of São Paulo, and mortality data were obtained from the Mortality Information System of the Brazilian Ministry of Health. This is an ecological timeseries study. We analyzed the time trends of standardized mortality rates by infectious diseases, according to age group (60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, and 80+ years) and sex, using polynomial regression. We estimated confidence intervals for the mean expected response in the years following the intervention. ResultsRates increased for both sexes among the elderly population. After the intervention, we observed a declining trend with respect to mortality indicators. For older males, the mean rate in the 1980-1998 period was 5.08 deaths per thousand men, with a linear, non-constant increase of 0.13 per year; in 2000, the rate observed was 4.72 deaths per thousand men. The mean annual rate among women over 60 years was 3.18 deaths per thousand women, with a non-constant increase of 0.08 per year; in 2000, the rate observed was 2.99 deaths per thousand women. There was also a significant reduction in mortality rates in all age groups. Conclusions Data indicate the importance of respiratory diseases among the elderly population and suggest that specific protection against influenza has a positive effect on the prevention of mortality due to these diseases.

Introduction: Acute respiratory tract infections are the most common illness in all individuals. Rhinoviruses have been reported as the etiology of more than 50% of respiratory tract infections worldwide. The study prospectively evaluated 47 elderly individuals from a group of 384 randomly assigned for acute respiratory viral infections (cold or flu) and assessed the occurrence of human rhinovirus (HRV), influenza A and B, respiratory syncytial virus and metapneumovirus (hMPV) in Botucatu, State of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: Forty-nine nasal swabs collected from 47 elderly individuals following inclusion visits from 2002 to 2003 were tested by GenScan RT-PCR. HRV-positive samples were sequenced for phylogenetic analysis. Results: No sample was positive for influenza A/B or RSV. HRV was detected in 28.6% (14/47) and hMPV in 2% (1/47). Of 14 positive samples, 9 isolates were successfully sequenced, showing the follow group distribution: 6 group A, 1 group B and 2 group C HRVs. Conclusions: The high incidence of HRV during the months of the influenza season requires further study regarding HRV infection impact on respiratory complications among this population. Infection caused by HRV is very frequent and may contribute to increasing the already high demand for healthcare during the influenza season.

“…The elderly are living longer and are at greater risk of becoming ill and dying due to pneumonia and other respiratory conditions. 7,8 In the State of São Paulo in 2001, respiratory diseases were the second most important cause of hospitalization among the population aged 60 years and over. Among the main causes of such diseases, pneumonia, bronchitis, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, other diseases of the respiratory apparatus and acute infections of the higher respiratory tract can be highlighted, in decreasing order of importance.…”

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the prevalence of reported pulmonary disease among elderly subjects, according to sociodemographic and economic characteristics, lifestyle, physical mobility, and health status. METHODS:This was a cross-sectional population-based study that included 1,957 elderly subjects (aged 60 and over). Information was collected by means of interviews. Subjects were selected using a two-stage probabilistic, stratified, cluster sampling strategy in six municipalities in the State of São Paulo between 2001 and 2002. Descriptive statistics, chi-squared association tests, prevalence ratios, and 95% confidence intervals were utilized. Adjusted analysis was carried out by Poisson regression. RESULTS:Among the interviewees, around 7% reported pulmonary disease. There was no association between pulmonary disease and influenza vaccination. Adjusted analysis identified the following factors that were independently associated with reported disease: smoking (PR: 2.03; 95% CI: 1.39-2.97); medication use (PR: 2.05; 95% CI: 1.11-3.79); health status self-assessed as poor or very poor (PR: 1.89; 95% CI: 1.20-2.96); and depression, anxiety, or emotional problems (PR: 1.86; 95% CI: 1.11-3.10). CONCLUSIONS:The findings from the present study reinforce the importance of respiratory diseases among the elderly, particularly in more vulnerable groups. Preventive measures and specific care for such groups are therefore justified. KEYWORDS: Lung diseases
