“…Somado a isso, corpos cetônicos, como o β-hidroxibutirato (β-HB) -molécula sinalizadora de modulação da lipólise, do estresse oxidativo e da neuroproteção-atuam como reguladores epigenéticos que podem ser utilizados como agentes terapêuticos do rejuvenescimento. (Wang; Chen; Xiao, 2021) Apesar de existir a descoberta de diversos compostos que promovem, de maneira evidente, o efeito de rejuvenescimento, a criação de novas drogas apresentam dificuldades (Fuentealba et al,2019) e as terapias de antienvelhecimento podem, também, gerar riscos e constituírem-se como "fontes de ilusão" (Antônio, 2020).…”

O fenômeno do envelhecimento populacional é crescente, na sociedade contemporânea, e apesar do aumento alarmante no número de idosos no mundo, muitos indivíduos pretender avançar os anos sem, necessariamente, envelhecer, isto é, contemplam o prolongamento da vida, no entanto, não almejam passar pelos processos deletérios do envelhecimento. Nesse sentido, a medicina, juntamente com outras áreas da saúde e da tecnologia, busca desenvolver métodos e práticas interventivas voltadas ao rejuvenescimento. Dessa forma, estudos com compostos, como beta-hidroxibutirato, e com substâncias, como probióticos e fitobioativos, mostraram-se promissores para efeito de antienvelhecimento buscado. No entanto, a falta de aceitação do processo natural do envelhecimento e as verdadeiras eficácia e seguridade da realização dessas intervenções na saúde transformam a ação interventiva em um constante estado de risco à saúde do indivíduo. Diante disso, este artigo, por meio de uma revisão de literatura dos últimos cinco anos (2018 a 2022), teve como objetivo analisar as possíveis relações existentes entre o processo de antienvelhecimento e os riscos relacionados à saúde, em adultos de 30 a 50 anos, a fim de esclarecer as dúvidas quanto à viabilidade dos procedimentos interventivos. Identificaram-se 20 artigos os quais revelaram que há, de forma evidente, aplicações médicas que podem ser utilizadas para o rejuvenescimento, porém, estas necessitam de certos cuidados e dosagens definidas para que sua eficácia seja, verdadeiramente, viável sem causar prejuízos à saúde e à vida humana.

“…As people reach more advanced ages, they are affected by chronic conditions, especially non-transmissible (CNCD), which are characterized by long-term pathologies that, although not fatal, may be associated with the development of disabilities, resulting in impaired functionality and having an impact on the quality of life of the elderly. For this reason, public policies have directed strategies that seek to provide the elderly with the most adequate health status possible, in order to guarantee a dignified life and active aging (3)(4)(5)(6) .…”

“…The active aging approach is based on a multidimensional assessment, which involves both health aspects and the promotion of social relationships and the optimization of autonomy and independence (5)(6)(7) . This approach depends, equally, on determining factors that influence the aging process, such as behavioral factors that directly impact quality of life (4,6) . In this sense, there is a wide variety of behavioral aspects, which must be undertaken by the elderly themselves and health professionals, with regard, above all, to oral health.…”

“…Oral hygiene is the main factor in maintaining preserved oral health. This maintenance consists of brushing teeth and all surfaces reached by a manual or electric brush, associated not only with the application of toothpaste and/or oral solutions, but also with the use of dental floss to perform interdental cleaning (6) . However, it is common for hospitalized elderly people to find it difficult to routinely and appropriately maintain all care with their hygiene, either because they do not perform cleaning and are not encouraged to take such action, or because they are dependent on others for the action of self-care and, thus, commitment to their autonomy.…”

Objectives: to analyze the correspondence between nurse and dental surgeon assessments in the application of an Oral Health Assessment in dental screening of elderly hospitalized patients. Methods: cross-sectional study with elderly patients (n = 54) admitted to University Hospital from the Federal University of São Paulo. Data were collected through the assessment of oral cavity. Descriptive statistical techniques were used to analyze them, using tables and graphs. Results: there was correlation and agreement between nurse and dental surgeon assessments referring to application of an Oral Health Assessment in dental screening of hospitalized elderly. Conclusions: oral Health Assessment in dental screening for hospitalized elderly by nurses demonstrated excellent reproducibility and may be a resource to identify buccal alteration, helping the planning and execution of nurse care associated to oral health.

In this article, a proposed solution is developed for a resolutive care model with an excellent cost-benefit ratio, congruent with the latest solutions in integrated care for the older population. The theory and concepts underlying the proposed model are outlined in detail, together with the epidemiological assessment instruments used. The article provides the context behind the global growth of the older population and, more specifically for Brazil, showing the social and financial impacts of this shift on society. Drawing on this analysis, we advocate that care provision for the older population be rethought, with greater priority given to disease prevention and health promotion actions. We also propose judicious use of technology for consultations, monitoring and preventive strategies, and for coordinating new care approaches. We believe the emphasis on care for the older population should take a low-complexity approach to reduce wastefulness, ensure rational use of health system resources, and make optimal use of the professionals involved.
