“…This information is similar to the literature data that indicate an increase in adults with diabetes aged 40 years or older, the majority over 50 years old, predominantly women, with low educational level and inactive. (11,(20)(21)(22) The prevalence of women in this study is similar to that obtained by Vigitel, (23) in which the frequency of self-reported diabetes diagnosis in 2012 was 8.1% in women and 6.5% in men. The higher prevalence among women has been reported in other studies in Brazil.…”

“…Regarding the smoking habits, the predominance of users that reported having smoked for more than two years diverged with a study in which a predominance (80%) was observed among people who reported not having smoked a cigarette, even if swallowed, during the last seven days. 22 Even with the low number of individuals that reported not having smoked in the previous seven days, it is necessary to promote actions that stimulate the fight against smoking habits. Since, research has shown a relationship between tobacco use and an increase in the number of amputations.…”

“…Nos estudos analisados (E2, E3, E8, E11), os idosos recebiam em média 2,4 salários mínimos, demonstrando a dependência da renda familiar para a sobrevivência, e dessa forma, possuindo razões financeiras como um dos motivos para não aderência ao tratamento (11,12,17,20) . Este fato leva os idosos a assumir atitude inadequada, ou seja, "economizarem" remédios, não seguindo a terapêutica prescrita (E3) (12) .…”

“…Outra questão que influencia negativamente a adesão à terapêutica consiste em conhecimentos limitados frente à doença. Uma das investigações (E11) demonstrou que apenas 6% dos entrevistados foram considerados competentes para a administração de seus medicamentos (20) . Em outra (E3), 76,9% dos idosos ingeriam de 1 a 4 comprimidos por dia, mas 23% desconheciam o motivo do uso diário de medicação, ressaltando que não era relacionado à presença da hipertensão e/ou do diabetes mellitus, nem aos sintomas e complicações decorrentes dessas doenças ou os efeitos colaterais advindos dos medicamentos (12) .…”
