“…In Japan, this situation was related to thousands of premature deaths [22]. In the state of Para ´, a study observed that the purchasing power of the elderly as well as access to work and income were associated with greater survival of senior citizens and should be observed and promoted by public health policies [23].…”

Introduction In Brazil, the Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde, or SUS) provides health care, and an aging population overwhelms the system due to the greater vulnerability of the elderly. In the Federal District, two models of primary care coexist–the traditional primary care and the family health strategy. The present study aimed to analyze the factors associated with mortality of the elderly due to conditions sensitive to ambulatory care in the Federal District, Brazil. Materials and methods This cross-sectional study investigated all deaths that occurred in people over 60 years old between 2008 and 2018. The variables studied were age at death, sex, marital status, education, race/color, death by condition sensitive to ambulatory care, and population coverage of primary care services. The Urban Well-Being Index (UWBI) was used, which includes the dimensions: mobility, environmental and housing conditions, infrastructure, and collective services, to analyze issues related to the place where the senior citizen resides. Results The deaths 70,503 senior citizens were recorded during the study period. The factors associated with mortality in the elderly due to ambulatory care sensitive conditions were male, lower income, and less education. Residing in a place with poor UWBI presented a response gradient with higher mortality. Increased ambulatory care coverage was also associated with lower mortality. Conclusions The study evidenced an association between male gender, age, income, and education, and UWBI with lower mortality due to ambulatory care sensitive conditions, and these associations presented a response gradient. The study also found that increased coverage of the elderly population was associated with lower mortality from sensitive conditions.

“…No Brasil, em 2010 os idosos representavam 8,6% da população geral, podendo em 2020 atingir 20%. Prevê-se que em 2050 que a população jovem com idade entre 0 e 14 anos representem 13,1% da população total, enquanto o estrato idoso (≥ 60 anos) atingirá 22,7%, justificando a inversão da pirâmide populacional 3,4,5 .…”

Introducción: La longevidad se ha convertido en uno los mayores logros de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Objetivo: Comparar la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores de Brasil y Portugal que reciben atención primaria de salud. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo transversal comparativo con una muestra probabilística de 294 adultos mayores que fueron acompañados por la estrategia de Salud Familiar y divididos en dos grupos: 130 adultos mayores ubicados en Benevides, Brasil y 164 en Coímbra, Portugal durante 2015 y 2017. La caracterización sociodemográfica y la evaluación de la calidad de vida se obtuvieron mediante el Cuestionario de Calidad de Vida de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (WHOQOL-BREF), que consta de 26 preguntas divididas en cuatro áreas: salud física, salud psicológica, relaciones sociales y ambiente. Se aplicó la prueba U de Mann-Whitney para el análisis estadístico comparativo. Resultados: En los grupos se observó el predominio de las mujeres casadas, jubiladas y con baja escolaridad (entre 1 y 4 años). La edad media fue de 70 años en Brasil y 76 años en Portugal. En cuanto a la calidad de vida, los adultos mayores brasileños obtuvieron mejores puntuaciones en el área de salud psicológica (79.1%) mientras que los adultos mayores portugueses tuvieron la mejor puntuación en el área ambiental (65.6%). Las puntuaciones más bajas se presentaron en el área ambiental en Benevides (56.3%) y en la salud física (60.7%) en Coímbra. Discusión: La calidad de vida en el proceso de envejecimiento es un importante predictor para la preservación de la autonomía de los adultos mayores. Conclusiones: Estos resultados amplían la concepción de la importancia de la atención integral en el proceso de envejecimiento para brindar una mejor calidad de vida, lo que contribuye a satisfacer las necesidades específicas de la población de edad avanzada.

“…With technological and scientific advances in the field of health, longevity and increased life expectancy have become a significant reality in society. Population aging is a phenomenon characterized by an increase in the proportion of elderly people in relation to other age groups, leading to social and health service changes 1,2 . Aging is a natural and progressive process that occurs throughout life, resulting in biopsychosocial changes.…”

Resumo A bioética traz discussões de grande relevância sobre valores e princípios morais presentes no cotidiano da prática de enfermagem em gerontologia hospitalar. A internação acentua a fragilidade do idoso, deixando-o suscetível ao sofrimento, à vulnerabilidade e ao desconforto, o que pode prejudicar sua recuperação, implicando adequação dos cuidados prestados. O objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre a promoção do bem-e=star do idoso hospitalizado a partir da teoria do conforto e dos princípios da bioética. É imprescindível que os profissionais de saúde ofereçam cuidado holístico e humanizado que contemple as necessidades físicas, psicoespirituais, socioculturais e ambientais dos pacientes, tendo em vista o conforto do idoso hospitalizado e os pressupostos da bioética.
