“…The results also suggest a higher frequency of fall-related deaths among women with no partner. These women probably fall more frequently as a consequence of using a higher dose and variety of medication (16)(17)(18) and presenting equilibrium problems (13,16) and higher social vulnerability (19) . The fact that they live alone exposes these women to a higher risk of falling due to having no help with some daily chores which are considered a risk for this age group.…”

Objective: To analyze the temporal trend of fall-related mortality in elderly in Brazil from 2008 to 2016. Method: Study of time series of rates of fall-related mortality according to CID-10 from 2008 to 2016. Data from the Mortality Information System on death registers of people ≥ 60 living in Brazil were used. The specific rates of fall-related mortality among the elderly were calculated through the ratio between the number of deaths and the elderly population of that year and region. The populational information was obtained from the 2000 and 2010 censuses. The variation rate and temporal trend were obtained through linear regression (p < 0.05). Results: The fall-related deaths among the elderly aged ≥ 60 amounted to 72,234 (31.2%). Falls from the same level were the most frequent (53.8%) and death rates in all ages ranged from 29.7 to 44.7 per 100,000 elders. Fall-related deaths increased with age. Conclusion: There was a growing trend of fall-related deaths among elderly in all age groups, an event which is avoidable through the adoption of preventive measures. The high rates and growing trend of fall-related deaths, as well as the aging of the Brazilian population, suggest that public policies for protecting the elderly must be prioritized.

“…Este fenómeno pode ser explicado por uma maior fragilidade das mulheres, maior prevalência de patologias crónicas, consumo de medicação e longevidade das mulheres em relação aos homens (9) . A evidência científica indica que o consumo de quatro ou mais medicamentos diários deve considerar-se também um fator de risco de queda nas populações idosas (10) .…”

“…Uno de los apartados fundamentales de estos programas se centra en la mejora de la condición física para la prevención de caídas en ancianos. Determinadas alteraciones del estado de salud, como la inhibición psicomotora, la comorbilidad, los problemas de audición y visión, la polifarmacia, la privación de sueño junto con los fármacos utilizados para el tratamiento del síndrome depresivo son factores que incrementan el riesgo de caídas en estos pacientes 13,14 .…”

Objetivo: Analizar los efectos de un programa integrado de "Ejercicio Dirigido-Paseos Saludables en Entornos Curativos Exteriores" (ED + PSECE) en el bienestar físico y psicosocial de pacientes con trastorno depresivo, mayores de 65 años, ingresados en la Unidad de Agudos de Hospitalización Psiquiátrica. Método: Estudio piloto experimental con un grupo intervención (GI, n = 32 sujetos) y un grupo control (GC, n = 32 sujetos). Las mediciones pre-y postintervención se realizan con el índice de Barthel, el test de Guralnik Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), la escala de Hamilton, el Get Up and Go Test y la taxonomía NOC. Resultados: Se encuentran mejoras significativas del GI en funcionalidad según Barthel (0,036) y en posición corporal según NOC (0,025), así como disminución de síntomas depresivos según Hamilton (0,001). Conclusión: La actividad física contribuye a la reducción de síntomas negativos de los trastornos depresivos y a la mejora de la funcionalidad para el desempeño de actividades básicas de una vida autónoma, siendo fundamental el rol desempeñado por el profesional de enfermería para la adherencia al programa de los pacientes ancianos hospitalizados en una unidad de salud mental.PALABRAS CLAVE: Salud del anciano, depresión, terapia por ejercicio, autonomía personal, enfermería psiquiátrica.
