“…In the population studied a slight increase frequency among women can be explained by a higher female life expectancy than that of men. The marital status, bachelors or widowers, associated with the lack of financial resources and loss of autonomy for ADL, may play an important role in the institutionalization process31. In Brazil, the idea that the care of the elderly is the responsibility of the family still flourishes.…”

SUMMARYLittle is known about the frequency of intestinal parasites in the elderly due to a lack of attention given to the occurrence of these infections among older adults. This study compares the frequency of Strongyloides stercoralis and other enteroparasites between elderly living in nursing homes (n = 100) and those noninstitutionalized (n = 100) from Uberlândia, state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil, associated with data of epidemiological and socio-demographic conditions. Through coproparasitological examination of both groups, enteroparasites were detected in 15 of 200 individuals examined (7.5%; CI: 5.1- 9.9). S. stercoralis was the most frequent parasite 10/200 (5%; CI: 4.2-5.8), being significantly higher in males and in individuals with autonomy for daily living activities. There were no statistical differences in the prevalence of parasites between the two groups compared. In conclusion, S. stercoralis infection was highly prevalent in elderly patients and it does not depend on whether the individual was institutionalized or not.

“…What few exist were conducted in specific sub-populations with specific characteristics, including rural seniors affected by migration to the United States, 12 and the impoverished, ill elderly. 13 The authors sought to assess the relationship between social networks and health using the concepts of the convoy model and the measured health-related quality of life (HRQL). The convoy model is a way to understand social relationships; the model maps the existence and nature of each strand in the web of social relationships that surround an individual.…”

Social networks and health-related quality of life: a population based study among older adults. Salud Publica Mex 2009;51:6-13. AbstractObjective. To examine the relationship between components of social networks and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in older adults with and without depressive symptoms. Material and Methods. Comparative cross-sectional study with data from the cohort study "Integral Study of Depression", carried out in Mexico City during 2004. The sample was selected through a multi-stage probability design. HRQL was measured with the SF-36. Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and the Short Anxiety Screening Test (SAST) determined depressive symptoms and anxiety. T-test and multiple linear regressions were conducted. Results. Older adults with depressive symptoms had the lowest scores in all HRQL scales. A larger network of close relatives and friends was associated with better HRQL on several scales. Living alone did not significantly affect HRQL level, in either the study or comparison group. Conclusions. A positive association between some components of social networks and good HRQL exists even in older adults with depressive symptoms.
