Previous issue date: 2014-03-28 / Introduction : Little attention has been given to the problems associated with parasitic diseases. The most susceptible elderly suffer not only the effects on your immune system, but also on their nutritional state. It's ridiculous that there are papers on the theme parasites in the elderly in our country. Objective : To describe the prevalence of intestinal parasites in elderly residents in asylums in Porto Alegre Metropolitan Regions (S?o Leopoldo and Novo Hamburgo) and Serrana in RS (Bento Gon?alves and Caxias do Sul) and in the employees of these institutions. Methods : Cross-sectional study in a sample of 200 elderly residents in asylums in the Metropolitan Region of Porto Alegre and in the Region Serrana in Rio Grande do Sul. The elderly s feces were assessed by parasite stool testing. The elderly and workers sociodemographic, economic, hygiene habits, symptomatology and coprologic survey conditions and variables were assessed through a questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 17.0 software. Results were expressed as frequencies, mean and standard deviation, considering significant p <0.05. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee in Research of PUCRS, under protocol number 147 597. Results : We analyzed 12 asylums, they were collected samples of 145 (72.5%) women and of 55 (27.5%) men, with average age 79.4?9.5 years old. The prevalence of enteroparasitosis was of 4.0%, where 6 (75.0%) corresponded to Endolimax nana and 2 (25.0%) to Entamoeba coli. The private homes for the aged showed higher positivity (4.7%) than the public ones (2.8%). Regarding eating habits, the elderly who ate more salads, vegetables and fruits had a higher prevalence (25.0%) compared to those who ate everything and to those who ate only meat, bread and pasta (p=0.008). As for the workers, 25 (96.2%), with average age of 37.3?10.0 years old. There was a prevalence of 19.2%, where 3 (60.0%) corresponded to E. nana, 1 (20.0%) E. coli and 1 (20.0%) biparasitism. Conclusion : The prevalence of intestinal parasites was low both in the elderly, as the workers. The non-pathogenic intestinal parasites were found, these results may be related to the socio-sanitary conditions of the environments found in these asylums. The prevalence of 6.1% of intestinal parasites in the Metropolitan Region of Porto Alegre and 2.0% in the Region Serrana in RS, showing the peculiar conditions found in these southern regions, confirming that the parasites present variations according to each region. / Introdu??o : Pouca ?nfase tem sido dada aos problemas associados ?s infec??es enteroparasit?rias. Os idosos mais suscet?veis sofrem n?o s? os efeitos sobre seu estado imunol?gico, como tamb?m no seu estado nutricional. ? irris?ria a exist?ncia de trabalhos publicados sobre o tema parasitoses no idoso, em nosso pa?s. Objetivo : Descrever a preval?ncia de parasitos intestinais em idosos residentes nas Institui??es de Longa Perman?ncia (ILPIs) na Regi?o Metropolitana de Porto Alegre (S?o Leopoldo e Novo Hamburgo) e Serra (Bento Gon?alves e Caxias do Sul) e em trabalhadores destas institui??es. M?todos : Estudo transversal realizado em uma amostra de 200 idosos residentes em ILPIs na Regi?o Metropolitana de Porto Alegre e na Serra do Rio Grande do Sul (RS). As fezes dos idosos foram avaliadas atrav?s do exame parasitol?gico de fezes (EPF). Foram avaliadas as condi??es e vari?veis sociodemogr?ficas, econ?micas, h?bitos de higiene, sintomatologia e inqu?rito coprol?gico dos idosos e trabalhadores atrav?s de um question?rio. A an?lise estat?stica foi realizada pelo programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Vers?o 17.0. Os resultados foram expressos por frequ?ncias, m?dia e desvio padr?o, considerando significativo p < 0,05. Essa pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comit? de ?tica em Pesquisa da PUCRS, sob o n?mero de protocolo 147.597. Resultados : Analisou-se 12 lares geri?tricos, foram coletadas amostras de 145 (72,5%) mulheres e 55 (27,5%) homens, com m?dia de idade de 79,4?9,5 anos. A preval?ncia de enteroparasitoses foi de 4,0%, onde 6 (75,0%) correspondiam a Endolimax nana e 2 (25,0%) Entamoeba coli. As ILPIs particulares apresentaram maior positividade (4,7%) do que as p?blicas (2,8%). Quanto aos h?bitos alimentares, os idosos que ingeriam mais saladas, verduras e frutas tiveram uma preval?ncia maior (25,0%) em rela??o aos que tinham uma ingest?o de todos os grupos alimentares e aos que ingeriram apenas carnes, p?es e massas (p= 0,008). Quanto aos trabalhadores das ILPIs, 25 (96,2%), com m?dia de idade de 37,3?10,0 anos. Verificou-se uma preval?ncia de 19,2%, onde 3 (60,0%) correspondiam a E. nana, 1 (20,0%) E. coli e 1(20,0%) biparasitismo. Conclus?o : A preval?ncia de enteroparasitoses foi baixa tanto nos idosos, quanto nos trabalhadores. Os enteroparasitos encontrados foram n?o patog?nicos, podendo estes resultados estar relacionados com as condi??es s?cio-sanit?rias dos ambientes encontrados nestas ILPIs. Houve preval?ncia de 6,1% de enteroparasitoses na Regi?o Metropolitana de Porto Alegre e 2,0% na Regi?o Serrana do RS, evidenciando as peculiares condi??es encontradas nestas regi?es ga?chas, confirmando que as parasitoses apresentam varia??es de acordo com cada regi?o.
