Factores asociados a caídas en adultos mayores chilenos: evidencia de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud 2009-2010

Abstract

En representación de todos los integrantes del grupo ELHOC) Factors associated with falls in older adults in chile. Analysis of the National Health Survey 2009-2010 Background: A decrease in functional capacity due to ageing is one of the main risk factors for falls in older people. Aim: To investigate factors associated with falls in Chilean older adults. Material and Methods: We analyzed the self-reports of falls of 1,334 people aged ≥ 60 years who answered the National Health Survey 2009-2010. Falls during the last 12 months were recorded. Lifestyle, socio-demographic and health status were analyzed. A Poisson regression with robust variance estimates was performed to identify factors associated with falls. Results: Falls during the preceding year were reported by 37% of respondents (95% confidence intervals (CI): 32-42]. Fall frequency was higher in women (

A Randomized Control Trial for a Comprehensive Fall Prevention Model for Self-Supporting Older Adults (PMACTIVAS): A Study Protocol

“…This coincides with a suggestion in the recently published global guidelines for falls prevention [1].Limited national studies have reported interventions of this type in older adults living in their homes [28]. National publications on falls in older people are generally only descriptive in nature [40,41]. Against this background, in the current study, we expect to demonstrate the effects of the model among older adults according to the following variables: fall frequency, fall perception, and risk factor management.…”

“…Em pessoas idosas brasileiras da comunidade, 27,0% sofreram uma queda em 12 meses (ELIAS FILHO et al, 2019), semelhante às do espaço rural, com uma prevalência de quedas de 27,9% (SANTOS et al, 2019). Estudos internacionais trazem a prevalência de quedas de 37,2% no Chile (LEIVA et al, 2019), 29,6% nos Estados Unidos (LEE, 2021) e 32,2% na Malásia (ABU BAKAR et al, 2021).…”

“…Em um estudo realizado no sul do Brasil, 56,4% das pessoas idosas avaliadas sofreram uma queda na própria casa (VIEIRA et al, 2018). O ambiente doméstico em condições impróprias para pessoas idosas -presença de tapetes soltos, escadas sem corrimão para apoio, iluminação inadequada, mobília mal distribuída obstruindo caminhos, presença de animais domésticos, superfície escorregadia, calçados inapropriados e declive acentuado -torna-se um importante fator de risco para a ocorrência de quedas (GIACOMINI;FHON;RODRIGUES, 2020;KIM et al, 2020;LEIVA et al, 2019;NOGUEIRA et al, 2021;TAVARES;ARAÚJO;NUNES, 2021).…”
