“…Studies with other aims have also described associations with education [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]. Studies assessing the prevalence of LBP reported associations with educational level, even though this was not their primary search goal [49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58]. Further studies having as their primary aim the investigation of the association of educational level attained or number of years of education with other variables are therefore needed to increase the number of studies eligible for meta-analysis that correlate education with the occurrence of LBP.…”

Introduction: Non-specific low back pain (LBP) can be understood through the interaction of biopsychosocial factors such as education. Unfortunately, it remains unclear whether education can be considered an important risk and prognostic factor for the occurrence of LBP. Objective: To investigate the association between education and LBP. Methods: The following databases were searched: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, AMED and PsyINFO. Results: Thirteen studies were included in the review. The Prevalence Critical Appraisal Instrument (PCAI) was used to assess risk of bias. Methodological quality scores ranged from 7 to 10 on a scale of 0-10. There was a 23% (95% CI, 13-37) prevalence of LBP (10,582 out of a total of 99,457 cases) in the general sample at the time of assessment. The meta-analysis of studies on the prevalence of LBP in people with low, medium or high educational level found the following results, respectively: 24% (95% CI, 12-43), 27% (95% CI, 9-56), and 18% (95% CI, 5-50). The meta-regression identified heterogeneity among the studies included in the review. This can be explained by educational differences (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Occurrence of LBP varies according to educational level. Individuals with higher educational levels are less often affected by LBP than individuals with medium or low educational levels.

Introducción. Varios aspectos en el adulto mayor deterioran su calidad de vida, como son las relaciones familiares y de amigos, la soledad e, incluso, el mismo centro geriátrico. Objetivo. Explorar las condiciones asociadas con la calidad de vida de los ancianos en hogares geriátricos. Materiales y métodos. Estudio transversal de 276 ancianos de 39 Centros de Bienestar del Anciano de Medellín. Se excluyeron aquellos con grave deterioro cognitivo y los que no residían de forma permanente en la institución. La calidad de vida se evaluó mediante el World Health Organization Quality of Life of Older Adults (WHOQOL-OLD) de la Organización Mundial de la Salud; se utilizaron la escala de depresión de Yesavage, la de ansiedad de Goldberg, la de funcionalidad de Pfeffer, la minivaloración nutricional y, además, se evaluaron aspectos demográficos y sociales. La información se analizó con pruebas U de Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, la correlación de Pearson y un modelo de regresión lineal múltiple. Resultados. El 59,4 % eran mujeres, la edad promedio fue de 79,2 ± 8,0 años, 71 % se consideraron independientes para realizar actividades de la vida diaria, 45,7 % presentaba sintomatología depresiva y 33 % mostraron riesgo de ansiedad, 28,3 % deterioro funcional y, 54,3 %, posible malnutrición. Se encontró una asociación negativa con la calidad de vida el ser mujer, presentar diabetes, altos puntajes en las escalas de capacidad funcional, depresión y ansiedad; el ir voluntariamente a la institución mostró una asociación positiva. Conclusión. Se halló deterioro en la calidad de vida cuando las condiciones de funcionalidad y autonomía limitaban la realización de actividades de la vida diaria, agravado por el hecho de ser mujer, tener sintomatología depresiva y de ansiedad, y sentirse maltratado por sus familiares.Palabras clave: calidad de vida, anciano, institucionalización, ansiedad, depresión. Quality of life in institutionalized elderly people of MedellínIntroduction. Many factors contribute to the deteriorating quality of life of elderly people living in care institutions. Some of these problems are a consequence of few contacts with relatives and friends, and being alone with a feeling of isolation. Objective. The conditions of quality of life are explored for elderly people living in care institutions. Materials and methods. In a cross sectional study, 276 subjects were selected from 39 long term institutions located in the city of Medellín, Colombia. The sex ratio was female:male 60:40% with a mean age of 79.2 ± 8.0. Elderly subjects with cognitive problems or not living in the institution were excluded. The World Health Organization Quality of Life of Older Adults (WHOQOL-OLD) questionnaire was applied; in additional, capacity and cognitive functional scales of Pfeffer, the anxiety scale of Goldberg, and the Geriatric Depression Scale of Yesavage were administered. Mininutritional assessment scales and complementary questionnaires about demographics, health perception, social support system were also included. The inform...

“…This instrument assesses different dimensions of health in individuals or populations such as the physical, emotional and social aspects of quality of life, bodily pain, mental health, vitality and general health 1 . A number of studies report a strong correlation between the health dimensions addressed by the SF-36 and the presence of health conditions and clinical symptoms 2,3 and also suggest that self-assessment may serve to predict mortality 4 . The measurement of health status dimensions provides useful indicators of health conditions and wellbeing that may complement evaluations of illness and mortality indicators 1,5 .…”
