“…Many elderly persons attribute a special value to religiosity in relation to the improvement of their condition, considering that it contributes to quality of life, wellbeing, and social and psychological integration 1 . In addition, one study 3 included in this review identified an association between religiosity and coping with disability, meaning that it is a valuable resource for the acceptance of common losses in aging, such as the loss of functional independence 18 .…”

Objective: To verify the association between religiosity and functional capacity in the elderly. Method: a systematic review of literature in the SciELO, Lilacs, MEDLINE/ PubMed and the portal of CAPES Journals databases was performed. The descriptors were selected through the list of Descriptors in Health Sciences (Decs) and Medical Subject Headings (Mesh). Original articles in Portuguese and English, published between 2007 and 2017, with a sample composed of elderly persons aged 60 years or more were included. Systematic or integrative reviews, case studies, scale validation studies, dissertations and theses and studies on religious social support were excluded, as well as articles that included elderly persons and adults in the sample. Result: 280 articles were identified, of which six were included in this review. Religiosity was associated with improved functional capacity and coping with disability and the delay of functional decline in the elderly. Different aspects of religiosity were associated with functional capacity, such as participation in religious activities, religious leadership role performance and religious beliefs and traditions. In three articles the positive association between religiosity and functional capacity was linked only to public religious activities and not to intrinsic religious practices. Conclusion: religiosity is significantly and positively associated with the functional capacity of the elderly. The association between intrinsic religiosity and functional capacity is still unclear.

“…Among the participants of this study, 65% (n=19) attended their religious services "once or more per week" and 59% (n=17) had their prayers, Bible reading and meditation "daily or more than once per day". Comparing this study with the results of research conducted with 82 elderly enrolled in the FHS in Bahia, it was observed that 57% (n=70) of them attended their religious services, and 79.3% (n=65) performed their practices in private 22 . It was observed that in Intrinsic Religiosity (IR) in the categories "totally true for me" and "true in general", there were more than 97% (n=28) of participants in this group, in all dimensions, indicating that they consider religiosity as very important, that the presence of God in the life and beliefs are behind all the way to live and who strive to live the religion in all aspects of life.…”

A religiosidade faz parte da integralidade do ser humano e pode influenciar positivamente no estilo de vida das pessoas. Este, por sua vez, está associado às doenças crônicas não transmissíveis no Brasil e no mundo. Partindo desse contexto, o objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar a associação entre religiosidade e estilo de vida de profissionais de saúde de um Núcleo de Apoio à Saúde da Família (NASF). Pesquisa descritiva, de corte transversal e quantitativa. Amostra de conveniência que incluiu 29 profissionais. Aplicou-se dois questionários: Índice de Religiosidade Duke-Durel e Estilo de Vida Fantástico. Constatou-se, no grupo estudado, que a maioria era do sexo feminino (69%, n=20) e se declarou evangélica (79%, n=23) com idade média de 31,7 (dp=5,71). Os participantes possuíam bom envolvimento religioso (59% ou mais) e o estilo de vida "muito bom" (escore total de 79,4), porém são deficientes na dimensão "atividades físicas", com média abaixo do normal (2,93 com amplitude de 0-8). A maioria declarou ter recebido enfoque sobre espiritualidade na formação acadêmica e afirmou envolvimento em cultos religiosos, considerando a prática da religião de grande relevância em sua vida diária, pessoal e profissional. Conclui-se que, nenhuma das variáveis da religiosidade esteve estatisticamente associada às dimensões do estilo de vida Fantástico bem como ao seu escore total, no entanto houve associação entre a variável "frequência à igreja" e "ser ou não praticante" da religião.Palavras-chave: Religião. Espiritualidade. Estilo de Vida. Promoção da Saúde.Religiosity is part of the completeness of the human being and can positively influence people's lifestyle.

From this context, the objective of this study was to analyze the association between religiosity and lifestyle of health professionals from the Family Health Support Centers (NASF). It is a descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study. Convenience sample have been taken, in which 29 professionals answered two questionnaires: Religiosity Index "Duke-Durel" and Lifestyle "Fantastic". It was found with the studied group that the majority were female (69%, n = 20) and declared themselves Evangelicals (79%, n = 23) with an average age of 31.7 (SD = 5.71). Participants had good religious involvement (59% or more) and the lifestyle is "very good" (total score of 79.4) but are deficient in "physical activity" dimension with an average below normal (2.93, range 0-8). Almost all of them claimed to have received approach on spirituality in academic school, and had involvement in religious cults, considering the religious practice of great importance in their daily, personal and professional life. It was concluded that none of the religious variables was statistically associated with lifestyle dimensions or to their total score. However, there was an association between the variable "church attendance" and "to be or not practitioner" of religion.
