Objective: To understand the perception of middle-aged adults regarding health and the aging process. Method: A qualitative study involving 30 adults aged 45 to 59 years old, 15 of whom were female and 15 of whom were male, who answered open questions about their perception of health and aging. Data was analyzed using the thematic content analysis technique. Results: Almost half of the respondents had not finished elementary school and only three had a university degree. A total of 27 were married, five were retired and 25 worked in the service provider sector, 26 were Caucasian, and 27 belonged to social-economic class B. The perception of health was described as being related to taking care of oneself (physical, mental and spiritual welfare), to being active and having the will to live. Regarding aging, the middle-aged persons had already begun to perceive signs of this process such as slowness to perform daily tasks, fatigue, muscle pain, rheumatic pain, a slowing of weight loss, gray hair, impaired vision and hearing, difficulty performing some movements, marks on skin and forgetfulness. Regarding protective actions, the practicing of physical activity, a healthy diet, social and family life and having some sort of occupation were mentioned. The greatest desire was to reach an older age with good health, independence and good living conditions. Conclusion: Although the data of the present study cannot be generalized, it is an important starting point for future research, since the results reveal concerns that can be reduced to support programs of healthy aging.

ABSTRACT:The objective of this study was to determine the epidemiological profile of women victims of violence and characterize the injuries affecting their maxillofacial region. This was an analytic study using secondary data from 470 expert reports of domestic violence involving women, collected from January 2007 to December 2011 in the Department of Dentistry of the Institute of Legal Medicine in the city of Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil. The majority of the examined women were Afro-caucasian (72.6 %), single (74.9%), and with mean age of 30.4 years. The buccal (51 %) and orbital (8.8 %) regions were the most affected extraoral sites. As to the oral cavity, the most affected sites were teeth (50.8 %) and the lip mucosa (35 %). In most cases the lesions against women were associated with an aggressor having a close relationship with the victim. The most prevalent lesions were edema; fracture; tooth dislocation; and bruise. These findings can subsidize the development of policies to prevent violence against women, and for public safety.KEY WORDS: domestic violence, violence against women, facial injuries, forensic dentistry.

“…It is interesting to observe that, before the person sought professional help, she had already built a personal narrative about her health problem, which can be directly related with the acceptance of the therapy, since it indicates the interpretations the patient has already formulated about the problem, which may coincide with those proposed by the physician (14) .…”

RESUMOO objetivo do estudo foi conhecer as representações sociais da cuidadora principal sobre o processo de adoecer de câncer, e relacioná-las com suas escolhas terapêuti-cas ao cuidar de um idoso portador desta patologia no domicílio. Participaram do estudo quatro cuidadoras principais de idosos portadores de câncer. Os dados foram coletados no período de março a novembro de 2005, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e observação participante. A análise dos dados foi realizada pelo méto-do de análise temática. Constatou-se que as explicações encontradas pelas cuidadoras para a doença caminham na contramão das explicações do saber médico, pois elas procuram identificar na forma de vida e no contexto do idoso os mecanismos que o levaram a adoecer. As práticas terapêuticas no domicílio são eminentemente culturais, pois consideram crenças e valores socialmente construídos. Enfatizou-se a necessidade de reconhecer, dentro do sistema formal de saúde, a dimensão sociocultural do cuidado. DESCRITORES ABSTRACTThe goal of the study was to understand the social representations of the main caregivers about the process of a acquiring cancer and to relate them with their therapeutic choices when caring for an elderly bearer of this pathology at his home. Four main caretakers of elderly cancer patients participated in the study. Data collection occurred from March to November, 2005, using semi-structured interviews and participative observation. The data analysis was accomplished through the method of thematic analysis. The explanations for the disease found by the caretakers were opposite to the medical explanations, because they try to identify the mechanisms that led the elderly patients to acquire the disease in their lifestyle. The therapeutic practices at home are eminently cultural, considering socially-built beliefs and values. The need of recognizing the socio-cultural dimension of healthcare within the formal healthcare service was emphasized.
