“…Idosas que vivem sozinhas ou com membros da terceira e quarta gerações, e em pior condição de saúde, têm maior risco de viver em condições vulneráveis (Campos et al, 2017). Entre os fatores que determinam a saúde da população idosa em países em desenvolvimento, destacam-se as características do contexto social, que geram desigualdades na exposição aos riscos e vulnerabilidades e que mais interferem no bem-estar, na independência funcional e na qualidade de vida dos idosos (Andrade, Sena, Pinheiro, Meira, & Lira, 2013;Geib, 2012;Giacomin et al, 2018;Lima-Costa, 2018).…”

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o arranjo de moradia, como um indicador de vulnerabilidade social, e suas relações com indicadores sociodemográficos e de saúde de idosos do interior da Bahia. Trata-se de um estudo transversal com amostra de 134 idosos, entrevistados em domicílio. Avaliou-se os arranjos de moradia e suas associações com sexo; idade; chefia familiar; contribuição financeira; número de doenças, sinais e sintomas; desempenho em atividades de vida diária e envolvimento social. Foram realizados testes estatísticos para comparação de frequência entre os grupos (qui-quadrado e exato de Fisher). Viver sozinho ou acompanhado, com ou sem descendentes, teve associações com indicadores sociodemográficos (chefia e contribuição financeira). Viver com ou sem cônjuge associou-se com medidas de saúde, sexo e idade, o que pode indicar a importância desse membro familiar para o bem‑estar do idoso.

“…According to studies about perceived barriers to physical activity in Brazil, having a disease and being afraid of getting injured are also among the main reasons preventing minors, adults, and the elderly from becoming more physically active ( 48 – 50 ). The country has one of the world's fastest aging populations, and over 70% of Brazilian seniors are considered insufficiently active ( 51 , 52 ). This prevalence is 61% for adults ( 44 ) and over 80% for children and adolescents in the country ( 53 ).…”

Background: The Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire for Everyone (PAR-Q+) is the international standard for pre-participation risk stratification and screening. In order to provide a practical and valid screening tool to facilitate safe engagement in physical activity and fitness assessments for the Brazilian population, this study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and verify the reproducibility of the evidence-based PAR-Q+ to the Brazilian Portuguese language.Method: Initially, the document was translated by two independent translators, before Brazilian experts in health and physical activity evaluated the translations and produced a common initial version. Next, two English native speakers, fluent in Brazilian Portuguese and accustomed to the local culture, back-translated the questionnaire. These back translations were assessed by the organization in charge of the PAR-Q+, then a final Brazilian version was approved. A total of 493 Brazilians between 5 and 93 yr (39.9 ± 25.4 yr), 59% female, with varying levels of health and physical activity, completed the questionnaire twice, in person or online, 1–2 weeks apart. Cronbach's alpha was used to calculate the internal consistency of all items of the questionnaire, and the Kappa statistic was used to assess the individual reproducibility of each item of the document. Additionally, the intraclass correlation coefficient and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to verify the general reproducibility (reliability) of the translated version.Results: The Brazilian version had an excellent internal consistency (0.993), with an almost perfect agreement in 93.8% of the questions, and a substantial agreement in the other 6.2%. The translated version also had a good to excellent total reproducibility (0.901, 95% CI: 0.887–0.914).Conclusion: The results show this translation is a valid and reliable screening tool, which may facilitate a larger number of Brazilians to start or increase physical activity participation in a safe manner.

“…National surveys, such as the National Health Survey 3 , Risk and Protection Factors Surveillance System for Chronic Diseases by telephone survey (Vigitel) 4 and Longitudinal Study of the Health of Elderly Brazilians (Elsi) 5 , are important examples of the use of information for health planning and management. Because of they have operational difficulties and are expensive and time-consuming, these surveys do not allow estimations according to municipality, or for less populated areas, such as census tracts or aggregates of them.…”

Objective: The study aimed to validate the estimates of adult smokers determined by Vigitel for small areas, defined by the Health Vulnerability Index (IVS). Methods: The database of the Health Survey of the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte (RMBH) carried out in 2010 and the data from Vigitel in the period from 2010 to 2013 were used to obtain estimates of adult smokers by IVS. With Vigitel, the estimate of smokers by IVS was obtained by the indirect estimation method in small areas. The prevalence of adult smokers was compared, considering RMBH as the gold standard. The t test was used to evaluate the difference between the means and the Pearson correlation, with a significance level of 5%. Results: When stratifying by IVS in the household survey, the prevalence of adult smokers ranged from 13.39% (95%CI 11.88 – 14.91) for residents in a low-risk area to 22.9% (95%CI 12.33 – 33.48) among residents in a very high-risk area. With Vigitel, according to IVS, the prevalence of adult smokers ranged from 11.98% (95%CI 10.75 – 13.21) for residents in the low-risk area to 22.31% (95%CI 18.25 – 26.1) in very high-risk areas. The prevalence was similar between the two surveys, showing good Pearson correlation (r = 0.93). Conclusion: The study points out that the estimates of smokers were similar in both surveys, showing the external validity of Vigitel. There was a gradient in prevalence, with progressive increase, identifying a higher proportion of smokers in high-risk areas.
