Resumo
A proporção de pessoas com sessenta anos e mais no Brasil vem crescendo, assim como na maior parte do mundo, e tem estreitado progressivamente a base da pirâmide populacional. Com o envelhecimento populacional temos um aumento da prevalência de incapacidades desencadeadoras de dependência física e psíquica que comprometem a autonomia dos idosos e, conseqüentemente, pioram sua satisfação com a própria saúde. O presente estudo propôs-se a investigar os níveis de atividade física habitual, o perfil sóciodemográfico e econômico e a morbidade referida da população de sessenta anos e mais em um município de pequeno porte do interior paulista, Bofete. Foram entrevistados 275 idosos residentes no município de Bofete, escolhidos por meio de amostragem estratificada proporcional e aleatória. O tamanho amostral baseou-se em intervalo de confiança, de 95% e p<0,05, para prevalência desconhecida dos indivíduos que participaram da Campanha Nacional de Vacinação para Idosos contra a Gripe em 2003, que reportou 100% de cobertura no município. O questionário utilizado resultou de uma composição de outros instrumentos, já validados, presentes em estudos científicos; o Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (QIAF), versão longa (principal), validado pelo CELAFISCS. As entrevistas foram realizadas entre outubro de 2003 e janeiro de 2004. Foram realizadas análises univariadas com o evento: Atividade física total da semana, com recodificação binária das variáveis e análise multivariada hierarquizada, em dimensões apenas com as variáveis significativas na análise univariada. As variáveis que se mantiveram significativas após o estudo por bloco, foram agrupadas num modelo final de regressão multivariada. O estudo das associações foi realizado para os idosos do sexo masculino e feminino como duas...
The proportion of people with sixty years and older in Brazil has been increasing, as well as in a great part of the world, progressively narrowing the pyramid structure of the population. With the aging of the population the prevalence of disabilities increased, leading to a physical and psychological dependence, affecting their self-complacency towards health. The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of habitual physical activity, the socio-demographic and economic status, and self-reported morbidity in the population aged sixty years and older of a small town in São Paulo, Brazil, named Bofete. Two hundred and seventy-five elderly living in town were interviewed chosen by proportional and random stratified sample. The sample was based on a confidence interval of 95%, and p<0,05 for unknown prevalence of individuals that joined the National Immunization Campaign for elderly people, against the influenza virus, which covered 100% of the population in 2003. The questionnaire used was a combination of other validated instruments present in scientific surveys: The International Questionnaire of Physical Activity (IQPA), long version (principal), validated by CELAFISCS. The interviews were applied between October, 2003 and January, 2004. Univariate analysis were conducted using the event Total Physical Activity of the week, with a binary recoding of the variables and multivariate analysis, ranking only the significant variables in the univariate analysis. The variables that remained statistically significant, after each study, were grouped in a final model of multivariate regression. The study of the association was applied for both male and female elderly, as two... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
