Estudo de base populacional dos fatores associados à incapacidade funcional entre idosos na Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil

Abstract: O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar os fatores associados à incapacidade funcional entre idosos na Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil. O modelo teórico adotado foi baseado em características predisponentes (sócio-demográficas), fatores extra-individuais (apoio social, uso de serviços de saúde) e intra-individuais (condições de saúde). Participaram do estudo 1.786 idosos (> 60 anos) selecionados por meio de amostra probabilística. A variável dependente foi a incapacidade funcio… Show more

“…One surprising finding was the absence of a statistically significant association between gender and functional capacity, differently from other studies in which functional incapacity was associated with the female gender (4)(5)(6)(16)(17) . No association was found for the marital status variable either when included in the logistic regression model.…”

“…No association was found for the marital status variable either when included in the logistic regression model. A similar result was found in a research carried out in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, in which marital status was not associated with the elderly people's functional incapacity (17) .…”

“…A Brazilian study showed that the prevalence of disability is generally higher in women, and the risk of disability doubles every decade of life. 24 The same study showed that functional capacity is strongly influenced by the per capita household income, which was also observed in the elderly under the care of the CRI. Other studies conducted in the Brazilian context have shown that functional capacity is a central aspect of quality of life in the elderly.…”

These were related to the very application of the questionnaires [23][24][25] and the studied population. Cognitive and physical conditions of the elderly limited participation in the research.…”

“…Outros estudos também não evidenciaram da mesma forma tal associação. 11,15,24 Farias et al 23 não encontraram relação entre idade, escolaridade, sexo e independência em atividades instrumentais de vida diária. Acredita-se que a falta de padronização dos instrumentos utilizados para avaliação da capacidade funcional entre os estudos, assim como os critérios de seleção da amostra estudada, possam justificar, ao menos em parte, as divergências entre esses resultados.…”
