Previous issue date: 2014-03-26 / In addition to the worldwide increase in the geriatric population, is highlighting the
high prevalence of mental disorders in the elderly also have a tendency to growth.
We conducted a cross-sectional study with prospective data collection. The main
objective is to study the prevalence and associations of specific phobias (SPP),
social phobia (SP), agoraphobia (AGP) and panic disorder (PD) in a sample of
elderly in the city of Porto Alegre, RS. Data collection occurred in two stages
structured interviews. In addition to the estimates of prevalence of disorders, were
performed tests to detect associations of the factors in a study of sociodemographic
characteristics. Disorders with higher prevalence were SPP (17 %) and having ever
AGP, covering 8.7% of the interviewed subjects. 4 % showed SP and 3.7 % of the
elderly have PD diagnosis sometime in their lives. Older women had higher
association with SPP, PD and AGP. Noticed other associations with sociodemographic
data, but these, according to each specific disorder. It can be noticed
that even within a category of diseases, conditions vary from each other and has its
particularities associations. Thus, we need to be attentive to the singularities of each
patient, and especially in the case of the elderly, as they are more likely to possess
hidden diagnoses; like the Anxiety Disorders. / Al?m do aumento mundial da popula??o geri?trica, vem ressaltando-se a alta
preval?ncia dos Transtornos Mentais nos idosos, tamb?m com tend?ncia ao
crescimento. Realizou-se um estudo transversal com coleta prospectiva. O principal
objetivo ? estudar a preval?ncia e associa??es das fobias espec?ficas (FE), fobia
social (FS), agarofobia (AGF) e de transtorno de p?nico (TP) em uma amostra de
idosos no munic?pio de Porto Alegre, RS. A coleta de dados ocorreu em duas etapas
de entrevistas estruturadas. Al?m das estimativas de preval?ncia dos transtornos,
foram realizadas an?lises para busca de associa??es dos fatores em estudo com
caracter?sticas s?cio demogr?ficas. Os transtornos com maiores preval?ncia foram
de FE (17%) e o de AGF alguma vez na vida, contemplando 8,7% dos sujeitos
entrevistados. 4% da amostra apresentou FS e 3,7% dos idosos apresentam
diagn?stico de TP alguma vez na vida. As mulheres idosas apresentaram maior
associa??o com FE, TP e AGF. Puderam ser observadas outras associa??es com os
dados s?cio demogr?ficos, mas estes, de acordo com cada transtorno espec?fico.
Deste modo, evidenciou-se que mesmo, dentro da categoria dos transtornos f?bicoansiosos,
cada patologia diferencia-se em fatores predisponentes de acordo com
suas particularidades. Assim, precisamos estar atentos ?s singularidades de cada
paciente, e especialmente no caso dos idosos, mais propensos a possuir
subdiagn?sticos, como os Transtornos de Ansiedade.
