Doença cardíaca e alimentação referidas por idosos do município de São Paulo: Estudo SABE - Saúde, Bem-estar e Envelhecimento - 2000 e 2006 / Reported heart diseases and dietary intake in elderly individuals from Sao Paulo city: SABE Survey

Dourado, Daiana Aparecida Quintiliano Scarpelli 16 September 2010 (has links)
Introdução: As doenças cardíacas (DC) representam a principal causa de morte da população brasileira. Evidências epidemiológicas mostram que a alimentação é fator de risco para o desenvolvimento dessas doenças. Objetivo: Verificar a associação da alimentação, com incidência de DC referida, segundo variáveis demográficas e biopsicossociais. Métodos: Foram utilizados dados do Estudo SABE (Saúde, Bem-estar e Envelhecimento), longitudinal, epidemiológico, de base domiciliar, realizado em 2000 (2.143 idosos) e, em 2006 (1.115 idosos), no município de São Paulo Brasil. A população de estudo foi constituída por idosos ( 66 anos), de ambos os sexos, que não referiram DC, em 2000, e que apresentavam todos os dados necessários para este estudo. As variáveis analisadas foram: DC referida, em 2006; alimentação, referida em 2000, incluindo - número de refeições (Nref - < 3 e 3/dia), frequência de ingestão de líquidos (Lq - 5 e > 5 copos/dia), de laticínios (Lat - 1x/dia), de ovos e leguminosas (Leg - 1x/semana), de carnes (Car - 3x/semana), de frutas, legumes e verduras (Flv - 2x/dia); sexo, grupo etário, autopercepção da saúde, escolaridade, companhia no domicílio, tabagismo e hipertensão arterial. Para verificar a associação, utilizou-se teste de Rao & Scott (p<0,05), para amostra complexa, e regressão logística múltipla, calculados pelo programa estatístico STATA 10.1. Resultados: Foram analisados 900 idosos, dos quais, 132 referiram DC (novos casos), em 2006, correspondendo ao coeficiente de incidência (CI) de 14,5/1.000 pessoas-ano (IC95 por cento = 12,12 17,61). Considerando as variáveis demográficas e biopsicossociais, constatou-se que a referência da saúde como rui, segundo a autopercepção e tabagismo para as mulheres, e HAS para os homens constituíram fator de risco. As demais (escolaridade, companhia no domicílio, sexo e grupo etário) não apresentaram diferença estatística em relação à referência de DC. Quanto às variáveis alimentares, verificou que, somente, a referência de não ingerir Lat e Leg, em 2000, apresentou-se associada à DC (Lat - OR: 1,97 IC 95 por cento : 1,11 - 3,47) e (Leg - OR: 2,26 IC95 por cento : 1,11 - 4,60). O CI, em relação a estes alimentos, também apresentou diferença estatística. Conclusão: Constatou-se que a alimentação dos idosos esteve associada à referência de DC. A referência de não ingerir Lat e Leg, constituiu fator de risco para DC em 2006 / Introduction: Heart diseases (HD) are the main cause of death in Brazilian population. Epidemiological evidence shows that diet can be a risk factor for the development of HD. Objective: To investigate the association of food dietary intake, with reported HD incidence, according to demographic and biopsychosocial variables. Methods: The study used data from SABE (Health, Well-being and Ageing): longitudinal, epidemiological, household survey, conducted in 2000 (2,143 elderly individuals) and in 2006 (1,115 elderly individuals), in the city of Sao Paulo - Brazil. The study population was formed by elderly individuals ( 66 y), both sexes, who did not report HD in 2000 and all the necessary data for this study existed. The variables analyzed were referred HD, in 2006; information about dietary intake in 2000, including - number of meals (<3 and 3/day), frequency of fluids intake ( 5 and > 5 cups/day ), dairy (1/day), eggs and legumes (1/week), meat (3/week), fruits and vegetables (2/day), sex, age groups, self-perceived health status, education level, home company, smoking and systemic arterial hypertension. To verify the association Rao & Scott (p <0.05) test was used for complex sample, and multiple logistic regression, calculated by STATA 10.1 statistical program. Results: 900 elderly individuals were analyzed, 132 of them reported HD (new cases) in 2006, corresponding to an incidence rate of 14.5/1,000 person-years (95 per cent CI = 12.12 to 17.61). Considering the demographic and biopsychosocial variables, the association between poor self-perceived health status and smoking for women, and reported hypertension for men, were considered risk factor for HD. The others (educational level, home company, gender and age) showed no statistical difference considering the HD reference. For dietary intake variables, it was found that only the reference of not eating Lat and Leg in 2000, showed to be associated with HD - (Lat - OR: 1.97 - 95 per cent CI: 1.1 1-3, 47) and (Leg - OR: 2.26 - 95 per cent : 1,11 - 4,60). The incidence rate, for these foods also have statistical difference. Conclusion: The elderly dietary intake influences the HD reference. The reference of not eating dairy and legume was a risk factor for HD

Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-27T18:47:28Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Edneia Salviano.pdf: 357505 bytes, checksum: d046d3fb7b40bdacb2d6b71e73b7b9b9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-05-08 / Research focusing on the elderly population shows that one of the several fears associated with aging is fear of economic dependence. In light of this scenario and in view of the lack of specific studies on this theme, I became interested in investigating the impact that impoverishment had on the aging process of elderly individuals who had a good financial situation throughout their life. To achieve this, a qualitative research was developed in which six people (two men and four women) between the ages of 59 and 82 were interviewed. These individuals used to be rich and, due to some event, became impoverished in old age. The hypothesis that guided the study was that these subjects denied that possibility during their entire life and did not think of protecting themselves financially; this fact aggravated the impact they suffered due to the negative life event. The collected data allowed me to conclude that the impact of impoverishment on elderly individuals who used to have a good financial situation was felt with less or more intensity depending on the type of life trajectory constructed by each subject. Those who cultivated a social network supported by multiple axes showed greater capacity to adapt to stressful events deriving from changes in their project of life and seem to have greater facility to accept and assimilate life s lessons, reinventing themselves / Pesquisas enfocando a população idosa apontam que dentre os muitos medos associados ao envelhecimento está o medo da dependência econômica. Diante de tal quadro e ante a falta de pesquisas mais específicas sobre esta temática, surgiu o interesse em estudar o impacto do empobrecer na velhice para idosos que gozaram de uma situação financeira confortável durante toda a vida. Para tanto, desenvolvemos uma pesquisa qualitativa, com entrevistas junto a seis pessoas de 59 a 82 anos, dois homens e quatro mulheres, que foram ricas e em decorrência de um determinado evento se viram empobrecidos na velhice. Partimos da hipótese de que tais sujeitos negaram tal possibilidade durante toda a vida e não procuraram proteger-se financeiramente, fato este que acabou por agravar ainda mais o impacto sofrido diante do evento de vida negativo. Os dados levantados permitiram concluir que o impacto ocasionado pelo empobrecimento em idosos que gozavam de uma situação financeira confortável foi sentido em maior ou menor intensidade, dependendo do tipo de trajetória de vida construída por cada sujeito. Aqueles que cultivaram uma rede social apoiada em múltiplos eixos demonstram possuir uma maior capacidade de adaptação aos eventos estressores provenientes das reviravoltas do projeto de vida e aparentam uma facilidade maior em aceitar e assimilar as lições da vida, reinventando-se

<p>This essay’s focus lies on the collaboration that takes place in hospitals and called a care-plan (vårdplanering) between the two organisations: Health-care (landsting) and social-care (kommun). According to the Swedish-law are these organizations responsible for the care of elderly individuals in Sweden. The aim of this essay has been to study closely this collaboration in order to see which partner has the most influencing power.</p><p>This essay is of a qualitative character, which means that the results that are presented are based on six individual interviews with employees from the two organizations.

All the interviewed individuals talked highly about the importance of collaboration while in reality they end up in an subliminal battle against each other.

This essay’s focus lies on the collaboration that takes place in hospitals and called a care-plan (vårdplanering) between the two organisations: Health-care (landsting) and social-care (kommun). According to the Swedish-law are these organizations responsible for the care of elderly individuals in Sweden. The aim of this essay has been to study closely this collaboration in order to see which partner has the most influencing power. This essay is of a qualitative character, which means that the results that are presented are based on six individual interviews with employees from the two organizations. The employees chosen for this essay all have job experiences from the collaboration that takes place during care-plans in hospitals. One of the main results of this essay has been that the two organizations are not equal collaboration-partners. All the interviewed individuals talked highly about the importance of collaboration while in reality they end up in an subliminal battle against each other. The main conclusion of this essay is that the focus of a care-plan meeting appears to be on gaining the most power, in order to influence the outcome of a care-plan, rather than giving priority to the elderly individual’s needs and concerns.
