“…The foregoing confirms the relationship between halitosis in the institutionalized elderly and proximal factors, directly related to oral and general health, and distal factors, as halitosis is a reflection of the precarious environment in which these elderly people live and the social inequality they experience during their lives 33 , including prior to institutionalization.…”

Objective: to evaluate the prevalence of halitosis and associated factors in institutionalized elderly persons. Methods: a sectional study was performed with 268 elderly persons from 11 long-term care institutions in Natal in the northeast of Brazil. Data collection included an oral epidemiologic examination and questions about self-perception of oral health, as well as a consultation of medical records and the application of a questionnaire to the directors of the institutions. Halitosis was measured using the organoleptic test. The independent variables were oral, sociodemographic, institutional, general health and functional conditions. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Pearson chi-square test and Fisher's exact test, and the magnitude of effect was verified by the prevalence ratio for the independent variables in relation to the outcome, with a 95% confidence level. Results: the prevalence of halitosis was 26.1%, which was exhaled by the mouth in 98.57% of cases and by the nose in 10% of cases. Prevalence was 43% higher among nonwhite individuals ( p=0.006); 65% higher among those living in non-profit institutions ( p=0.039); 52% higher in elderly persons with oriented cognitive status ( p=0.047); 41% higher in elderly persons with root caries ( p=0.029); 62% higher in those who did not use dentures ( p=0.046); 57% lower in edentulous persons ( p<0.001); and 73% higher in elderly individuals with tongue biofilm ( p=0.001). Conclusion: The occurrence of halitosis in institutionalized elderly persons was similar to other studies, but there was an expressive number of extrabuccal cases and an association with oral health problems, as well as sociodemographic, institutional and functional factors.

“…The most unfavorable sociodemographic conditions were observed in elderly people living in non-profit LTCFs 33 , which reflects the social inequality in their lives. Based on this, it is plausible to consider that elderly people with less favorable living conditions have worse health and care situations, favoring the occurrence of halitosis.…”

“…Entretanto, diverge de outros estudos que apontam para períodos maiores de residência dos idosos nas instituições 5,18,22 . Observou-se que a institucionalização compulsória foi a que prevaleceu nesta investigação, sendo que as pesquisas demonstram que a institucionalização ocorre em razão de vários motivos, entre os quais, dependência física como observado neste estudo, além de determinantes sociais e familiares 5,14,24,25 . Foi constatado na pesquisa que a decisão de institucionalização, ficou a cargo dos filhos dos idosos.…”

Introdução: As condições de vida do idoso em instituições de longa permanência tem sido objeto de pesquisas visto à falta de suporte, sobretudo de natureza afetiva e de apoio familiar. Objetivo: Este estudo teve por objetivo conhecer as características socioeconômicas e de proximidade familiar dos idosos que vivem em uma instituição de longa permanência localizada em Joinville, Santa Catarina. Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo de caráter exploratório que foi realizado com dez idosos. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário semiestruturado. As variáveis investigadas consideraram as características socioeconômicas, aspectos relacionados à saúde, à família e a instituição de longa permanência. Resultados: A idade dos idosos variou entre 66 a mais de 80 anos. A maioria era do sexo masculino, possuía ensino médio completo e referiu problemas de saúde. O tempo de institucionalização dos idosos variou de 4 meses a 10 anos e motivo mais frequente para a institucionalização foi a dependência física. Mais da metade dos entrevistados tiveram resposta positivas sobre gostar de estar na Instituição de Longa Permanência. Conclusões: A institucionalização do idoso pode ser geradora de sofrimento, mas também pode constituir-se um ambiente de conformação de vínculos afetivos. O idoso atribui considerável importância aos cuidados, o que impõe aos profissionais uma atenção que abranja os vários aspectos da vida da pessoa envelhecida. Em razão do envelhecimento populacional, seria desejável que fossem realizados estudos que aprofundassem a analise de outros fatores que poderiam estar contribuindo para qualidade de vida dos idosos institucionalizados.

“…The (Unified Health System or National Health Service) SUS is the main place of care for institutionalized elderly persons (61.9%), through basic health units and SAMU 11,23 . In philanthropic LTCFs, most elderly persons do not have a health plan 35 . It is believed that the 73% who use both public and private services in this study, use private services in a complementary manner, obtaining medicines and vaccines through Primary Health Care, as these are not provided by private health services.…”

Objective: to characterize Long Term Care Facilities for the Elderly (LTCFs) from the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil in terms of administrative and care aspects. Method: an exploratory, quantitative study was conducted in the MRBH, with primary and secondary sources used to map the LTCFs. A structured questionnaire was used for characterization, and data was collected between November 2014 and December 2015 through telephone contact and site visits to the LTCFs. A descriptive statistical analysis of the data was subsequently performed. Results: the 156 participating institutions included private and mixed institutions, with predominantly female residents with dependency levels I and II, and elevated levels of occupation. Philanthropic LTCFs directly receive the retirement pensions of the elderly persons, although most also receive a government grant. The results in terms of activities offered were similar for the philanthropic and private facilities, while the staff of the private facilities had more health professionals and the philanthropic facilities had more social workers and psychologists. Conclusions: there was significant participation among the LTCFs, despite the limiting factors of the study such as the data collection instrument and strategy. It is important to prioritize the elderly when creating policies to improve care for institutionalized individuals, as well as facilitating interlocution between LTCFs to minimize the abandonment of state participation.
