“…This association was also found by the authors of a crosssectional study, with a population base of 686 elderly people ( p<0.006) 8 . It is common for the elderly to see themselves as having poor health, a fact explained by their morbidity, frailty and higher risk of mortality [9][10][11][12][13] conditions that result in a greater demand for health services, which may explain this finding 2,3,5,11 .…”

Objective :to analyze the factors associated with hospitalization among the Brazilian elderly based on multidimensional methodology. Method: a cross-sectional, quantitative study was performed with data from the National Health Survey (2013) population-based study. The sample was composed of 23,815 individuals over the age of 60 years. Hospitalization was considered the outcome variable and 53 independent variables were included, relating to: sociodemographic characteristics; limitations and illness; difficulties in performing basic and instrumental activities of daily living; use of health services and medical emergencies. Results: it was found that 10% of the elderly were hospitalized in the previous year. This event was related to: a negative self-perception of health (OR = 1.35); stopping performing any of their usual activities due to health reasons (OR = 2.14); difficulty going to the doctor (OR = 1.65) or walking alone (OR = 1.55); a recent search for a site, service or health professional for health-related care (OR = 1.47); increased frequency of annual medical visits (OR = 2.93) and household emergency (OR = 5.40). Conclusion: the results reinforce the fact that multiple factors are associated with the hospitalization of the elderly. The analysis of these associations has the potential to make health professionals and administrators aware of the need to improve health care for the elderly and to assist in the organization and planning of the actions of the entire health service network.

“…It is understood that individuals with such restrictions often have poor health conditions. The presence of functional disability is commonly associated with comorbidities, making the demand for differentiated health care more frequent, in turn requiring actions of greater cost and complexity (8) . These conditions tend to evolve progressively, aggravating the limitations for Basic Daily Life Activities (BADL) (25) , increasing the incidence of hospitalizations and requiring routine medical consultations (2) .…”

“…The change in the age structure in society due to reduced birth rates and increased life expectancy is not always accompanied by changes which ensure decent conditions during aging (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6) . The added amount of years lived has contributed to a higher incidence of diseases (7) , especially chronic non--communicable diseases, which contribute to a worsening in functional disability and compromise the quality of life of older adults (6,8) .…”

Objective: To analyze factors associated with the high frequency of medical consultations (five or more consultations) among older adult participants of the National Health Survey - 2013. Method: A quantitative cross-sectional study conducted with data from individuals aged 60 years and over (n = 19,503). The outcome variable came from the question: ‘How many times have you consulted the doctor in the last 12 months? Fifty-seven (57) independent variables were listed. The Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis software program was used in the analysis. The data set was balanced and the dimensionality reduction test was performed. The variables which were strongly related to the dependent variable were analyzed using logistic regression. Results: The independent variables listed were strongly related to the outcome variables: female gender, negative self-perception of health condition, inability to perform usual activities for health reasons, diagnosis of chronic disease, seeking health services for health-related care, and hospitalization. Conclusion: The results reflect the relevance of expanding and qualifying services through effective prevention, protection and health promotion actions.
