“…The data of the present study regarding a negative perception of health are similar to the results of studies involving institutionalized or co-resident elderly persons, which revealed that approximately 60% of such individuals were dissatisfied with their own health 6,12 . These findings are worrying as a negative perception of health can predict or be related to situations of functional decline, dependency, hospitalizations, and have a direct influence on the mortality rates of the elderly 6,[10][11][12] .…”

“…Além disso, a perceção das pessoas idosas sobre a sua saúde e dependência apresenta maior poder preditivo em diversos acontecimentos como: hospitalização, mortalidade e declínio funcional, por comparação com a avaliação de informantes secundários, por exemplo, profissionais (Jardim, Barreto, & Giatti, 2010). Este estudo centra a hospitalização de pessoas idosas, um tema ainda pouco explorado, que constitui um evento marcante na velhice, marcando o "estatuto de velho", em que a alta é acompanhada com frequência por diminuição do estado de saúde (Schimitt, Sands, Weiss, Dowling, & Covinsky, 2010).…”
