“…No último censo da população brasileira, a taxa de analfabetismo de pessoas idosas alcançou o valor de 26,2% [15]. Os resultados encontrados [18][19][20][21][22] vieram de encontro com este estudo quando categoricamente 47,5% dos entrevistados possuíam ensino fundamental incompleto. Essa taxa quando comparada com outros estudos brasileiros foi coincidente.…”

Introdução: Capacidade de autocuidado no envelhecimento também pressupõe conhecimento, habilidade e experiência para prevenção, promoção de saúde, recuperação e reabilitação. Objetivos: Identificar as características sociodemográficas e de saúde de pessoas idosas hospitalizadas e avaliar as capacidades de autocuidado. Métodos: Abordagem quantitativa, tipo descritivo e transversal. A amostra foi de 200 pessoas idosas hospitalizadas com 70 anos ou mais de ambos os sexos. A amostragem foi não probabilística por conveniência. Utilizaram-se dois instrumentos: 1) Caracterização de fatores condicionantes básicos e de saúde de pessoas idosas e 2) Escala para avaliação das capacidades de autocuidado. Resultados: Encontrou-se que 56% eram do sexo feminino; a média de idade foi 78,8 anos (DP = 6,2); 47,5% tinham ensino fundamental incompleto; 37,5% eram casados; 72% eram católicos; 72,5% residiam com a família; 80% tinham filhos; 78% eram aposentados; 61,5% recebiam menos de um salário mínimo; 45,5% avaliaram sua saúde como boa; 48% portavam doença cardiovascular; 72,5% não apresentaram incapacidade física e 70,5% não realizavam atividades físicas. As capacidades de autocuidado apresentaram média de 103,1 (DP = 10,05) e mediana = 105. Conclusão: Apesar da hospitalização, as capacidades de autocuidado das pessoas idosas foram classificadas “muito boas”.Palavras-chave: idoso, hospitalização, autocuidado.

Prevalência do baixo nível de atividade física e sua associação no comprometimento da mobilidade e risco para óbito em idosos residentes no município de São Paulo

Introduction: In 2008, a low level of physical activity (<30 min of moderate/vigorous activity per day) accounted for 9% of the occurrences of death in the world. In addition, it is associated with impaired mobility in the elderly, aged 80 and over. However, due to methodological difficulties, there are few population-based studies carried out on the association between low levels of physical activity and impaired mobility and the risk of death, using an objective method to evaluate physical activity; and to date there are no known studies which have verified this association in Latin America. Objective: To identify the prevalence of low levels of physical activity and its association with impaired mobility and the risk of death in elderly individuals aged 65 and over living in the city of São Paulo in 2010. Methods: This was an exploratory and quantitative population-based study which used the database of the SABE study 2010 and the occurrences of death in 2014; 599 individuals were evaluated in 2010. The level of physical activity was analyzed in two ways: 1) low level of physical activity (<30 minutes of moderate and/or vigorous activity daily) and high level of physical activity (> 30 minutes moderate and/or vigorous activity daily); and 2) the sample was divided into tertiles according to the counts per minute, and grouped into two groups, the elderly in the lowest tertile classified as low level of physical activity and the elderly in the remaining two tertiles as intermediate/high level physical activity. Hierarchical logistic regression was used to: 1) identify the variables associated with low levels of physical activity; 2) analyze the association between low levels of physical activity and impaired mobility; and 3) estimate the risk of death in elderly individuals with low levels of physical activity. The survival curve was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method using the log-rank test and the proportional risk was calculated using the Cox's proportional hazards model. Results: The prevalence of elderly individuals with low levels of physical activity was 85.4% and the associated variables, after adjustment, were sex (female), age group (>75 years), multimorbidity (>2 chronic diseases), chronic pain (chronic pain in the previous 3 months) and body mass index (highest mean value). A low level of physical activity remained significantly associated with impaired mobility (OR = 3.49, CI95% 2.00 to 6.13) and risk of death (HR = 2.91, CI95% 1.75 to 4.82), even after adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical variables. Conclusion: The prevalence of low levels of physical activity in elderly individuals living in São Paulo was higher than those found in the Brazilian population, however comes close to other populations that used the same method to assess physical activity. A low level of physical activity (< 30 min moderate/vigorous activity) was associated with sociodemographic (female and age group) and clinical variables (multimorbidity, chronic pain and body mass index). A low level of physical activity (lo...
