A amostra consistiu de 60 idosos: grupo da área urbana (GU; n=30; idade= 68±8 anos) e rural (GR; n=30; idade: 67±7,88 anos). Os dados de QV foram coletados através do formulári… Show more

“…In a study by Beltrame et al, 17 conducted in the city of Concórdia-SC (population 71,000), 1 which is more than double the size of the town used in the present study (Pimenta Bueno-RO), it was reported that the social QOL of elderly individuals living in large cities is worse than the social QOL of those who live in rural areas. Melo & Neto 27 stated that the anonymity and lack of intimacy associated with social relationships in large urban centers have a negative effect on the QOL of elderly individuals who live in such areas.…”

“…[10][11][12][13][14][15] Although the lower QOL of elderly rural dwellers, when compared with urban dwellers, is not unanimous (previous Brazilian studies 16 have reported similar and occasionally higher values in a number of QOL domains for elderly rural dwellers), an investigation into the impact of the rural environment on QOL is relevant, given that this measurement has been correlated with the risk of disability and early death. 17 As well as the peculiarities of rural living, the lower QOL of elderly rural dwellers, as cited in several studies, 2,4 may be affected by health-related behavior. Studies suggest that a large section of the rural population suffer from energy deficits, 18,19 eat unhealthy food on a daily basis, including products that are rich in saturated fats and sugars, 20 and do not engage in physical activity for leisure, although they do exercise on a daily basis as they work/ get around.…”

“…O Ministério da Saúde entende que "o envelhecimento é um processo natural que ocorre ao longo de toda a experiência de vida do ser humano, por meio de escolhas e de circunstâncias" (BRASIL, 2010, p. 39), o que inclui a cultura e o modo de viver. Nesse sentido, alguns estudos têm apontado que idosos residentes em áreas rurais têm demonstrado resultados mais satisfatórios em relação a aspectos sociais e de saúde, com um número menor de doenças e apresentando um maior vínculo afetivo com familiares e vizinhos, fatores que podem estar associados à melhor adaptação desses idosos ao envelhecimento (PINTO et al, 2006;BELTRAME et al, 2012;.…”

“…Em 1991, indivíduos nessa faixa etária representavam 4,8% do povo brasileiro, passando para 5,9%, no ano 2000, chegando a 7,4%, em 2010. Tendo em vista o aumento do número de idosos e a maior expectativa de vida, vários estudos [2][3][4][5] têm sido desenvolvidos para melhorar a qualidade de vida do cidadão que envelhece.…”
