Incontinencia urinaria en ancianos estrategia de salud familiar : prevalencia y factores de riesgo

Objetivos: determinar a prevalência da incontinência urinária (IU) e a sua relação com aspectos sociodemográficos, antropométricos, funcionais e clínicos em idosos da Estratégia Saúde da Família de Porto Alegre/RS (ESF/POA). Métodos: estudo transversal analítico, coletado prospectivamente em amostra aleatória (30 unidades da ESF/POA). Foram coletados dados sociodemográficos, antropométricos e de saúde, sendo aplicados o Questionário Minessota de atividades físicas e de lazer, o Miniexame do Estado Mental, a Escala de Silhuetas de Stunkard (imagem corporal) e testes funcionais (Senta/Levanta, força de preensão manual e velocidade de caminhada). Resultados: foram estudados 575 idosos (68,9±7,1 anos; mulheres= 64,35%) dos quais 33,04% relataram IU (mulheres= 69,5%). Foram estimados como fatores de risco para a IU: menor escore do Miniexame (OR= 0,939; p= 0,033; IC95%= 0,887– 0,995); presença de prejuízo cognitivo (OR= 1,625; p= 0,010; IC95%= 1,351– 3,113); velocidade de caminhada mais lenta (OR= 1,160; p= 0,016; IC95%= 1,028– 1,309); e menor escore no teste Senta/Levanta (OR= 0,013; p= 0,874; IC95%= 0,712 – 0,932). Quedas, atividade física, satisfação com a imagem corporal e ingestão medicamentosa não apresentaram associação significativa com a IU. Conclusão: nessa amostra, foi alta a prevalência da IU. Apresentar menor força de membros inferiores, menor velocidade de caminhada e prejuízo cognitivo foram identificados como fatores de risco para a incontinência, todos modificáveis.Aims: to determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence and its relation with drug intake, cognition, functionality, falls, level of physical activity and body image in the elderly of the Family Health Strategy of Porto Alegre / RS (FHS/POA). Methods: a cross-sectional analytical study, prospectively collected in a random sample (30 units of FHS/POA). Sociodemographic, anthropometric and health data were collected, including on physical activity (Minnesota Physical and Leisure Activity Questionnaire), cognition (Mini Mental State Examination), body image satisfaction (Stunkard Silhouettes Scale) and functional ability (Chair Sit/Stand, hand grip strength and walking speed). Results: a total of 575 elderly subjects (68.9 ± 7.1 years; women = 64.35%) were studied; 33.04% reported urinary incontinence (women = 69.5%). The following parameters were estimated as risk factors for incontinence: lower Mini Exam score (OR= 0,939; p= 0,033; IC95%= 0,887– 0,995), presence of cognitive decline (OR= 1,625; p= 0,010; IC95%= 1,351– 3,113), slower walking speed (OR= 1,160; p= 0,016; IC95%= 1,028– 1,309) and lower chair sit/stand score (OR= 0,013; p= 0,874; IC95%= 0,712 – 0,932). Falls, physical activity, body image satisfaction and medication intake were not significantly associated with UI. Conclusion: in this sample, the prevalence of urinary incontinence was high and presenting weaker lower limb strength, worse mobility and cognition were identified as risk factors for incontinence, all modifiable.Objetivos: determinar la prevalencia de la incontinencia urinaria (IU) y su relación con aspectos socio demográficos, antropométricos, funcionales y clínicos en los ancianos de la Estrategia de Salud Familiar de Porto Alegre / RS (FHS / POA). Métodos: Estudio analítico de corte transversal, recolectado prospectivamente en una muestra aleatoria (30 unidades FHS / POA).

Las caídas, la actividad física, la satisfacción con la imagen corporal y la ingesta de medicamentos no se asociaron significativamente con la IU. Conclusiones: en esta muestra, la prevalencia de IU fue alta, y la fuerza de las extremidades inferiores, la menor velocidad de marcha y el deterioro cognitivo se identificaron como factores de riesgo de incontinencia, todos modificables

Quality of life, physical activity, and functionality in older primary care users in Porto Alegre-RS

OBJETIVO: Estudar a possível relação entre qualidade de vida e características sociodemográficas, antropométricas, funcionais e de atividade física em idosos da Estratégia Saúde da Família de Porto Alegre (RS). MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal e analítico com idosos (≥ 60 anos). Os dados foram coletados de forma prospectiva em amostra aleatória de 30 unidades de saúde. As variáveis pesquisadas foram: sociodemográficas (idade, estado civil, escolaridade); antropométricas (peso, altura, índice de massa corporal); e funcionais (velocidade de marcha, força de preensão manual, teste senta/levanta). Foi aplicada a escala de qualidade de vida de Flanagan e o questionário de Minnesota de atividade física e de lazer para o nível de atividade física. Analisaram-se os dados utilizando regressão logística pelo método backward conditional RESULTADOS: Entre os 577 idosos avaliados (68,5 ± 6,4 anos; 63,7% mulheres), a qualidade de vida de 87% foi classificada como alta. No modelo multivariado inicial (saturado), foram consideradas variáveis preditoras de qualidade de vida: sexo, convivência marital, tempo gasto para caminhar 10 m, escore do teste senta/levanta, força de preensão manual e atividade física moderada, intensa e total. O modelo final (seis etapas) foi composto de quatro variáveis: conviver maritalmente, maior escore do teste senta/levanta, maior força de preensão manual e prática de atividade física intensa. CONCLUSÃO: Conforme observado, a alta qualidade de vida relacionou-se a idosos que convivem maritalmente, apresentam maior força de membros superiores e inferiores e despendem mais tempo na prática de atividade física intensa.OBJECTIVE: To study the possible relation between quality of life and sociodemographic, anthropometric, functional and physical activity characteristics in older users of the Family Health Strategy in Porto Alegre-RS. METHODS: Cross-sectional and analytical study with older subjects (≥ 60 years). Data were prospectively collected in a random sample of 30 health units. The following variables were analyzed: sociodemographic (age, marital status, education); anthropometric (weight, height, body mass index); functional (walking speed, handgrip strength, Sit/Stand test). The Flanagan Quality of Life Scale and the Minnesota Physical Activity and Leisure Questionnaire (level of physical activity) were applied. Logistic Regression (Backward Conditional Method) was used for data analysis. RESULTS: Among the 577 older subjects evaluated (68.5 ± 6.4 years; 63.7% women), the majority (87%) presented high quality of life. In the initial multivariate (saturated) model, the following variables were considered as predictors of quality of life: gender, marital coexistence, time spent walking 10 m, higher Sit/Stand test score, handgrip strength, moderate, intense and total physical activity. The final model (6 steps) consisted of four variables: cohabitation, higher Sit/Stand test score, higher handgrip strength and engagement in intense physical activity. CONCLUSION: As observed, a high quality of life was related to older people who lived with a partner, presented higher upper and lower limb strength, and spent more time in the practice of intense physical activity

Depressive symptoms and functionality in older adults of the Porto Alegre’s primary care

OBJETIVO: Determinar a prevalência de sintomas depressivos (SD) e a sua relação com aspectos funcionais, sociodemográficos e antropométricos em idosos da Estratégia Saúde da Família de Porto Alegre (RS). MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo transversal prospectivo e analítico com amostra aleatória de 509 idosos de 30 unidades básicas de saúde. Analisaram-se idade, faixa etária, sexo, estado civil, escolaridade, peso, altura, índice de massa corporal, funcionalidade, atividades básicas e instrumentais de vida diária e presença de SD. Para análise estatística, utilizou-se o teste χ2 (bivariada) e de regressão logística (multivariada). RESULTADOS: A prevalência de SD na amostra foi de 35,4%. O modelo final apresentou associação estatisticamente significativa de SD com sexo feminino (odds ratio — OR = 2,87; intervalo de confiança de 95% — IC95% 1,92–9,23), analfabetismo [(OR = 2,13; IC95% 1,89–5,12), baixa escolaridade (OR = 1,23; IC95% 1,05–2,74), dependência em atividades instrumentais de vida diária (OR = 4,03; IC95% 1,68–9,64), baixos escores no teste senta/levanta (OR = 0,89; IC95% 0,82–0,96) e menor força de preensão manual (OR = 0,95; IC95% 0,93–0,98). CONCLUSÃO: A prevalência dos SD observada foi alta, e, ante as associações apresentadas, sugere-se que mulheres analfabetas ou com baixa escolaridade, com dificuldade em atividades instrumentais de vida diária, mais fracas e lentas devem ser investigadas quanto à presença de SD, pelo risco de desenvolvê-los.OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of depressive symptoms (DS) and their relationship with functional, sociodemographic and anthropometric aspects in the older adults from the Family Health Strategy of Porto Alegre/ RS. METHOD: This is a cross-sectional, prospective and analytical study, with a random sample of 509 older adults from 30 public health units. The following variables were analyzed: age, age group, sex, marital status, schooling, weight, height and body mass index, functionality, activities of daily living, both basic and instrumental, and the presence of DS. For the statistical analyses, the bivariate qui-square test and the multivariate logistic regression were used. RESULTS: The prevalence of DS in this sample was 35,5%. The final model presented a significant statistical association of DS with female gender (OR = 2.87; IC95% 19.2-9.23), illiteracy (OR = 2.13; IC95% 1.89–5.12), low schooling (OR = 1.23; IC95% 1.05–2.74), dependence on IADL (OR = 4.03; IC95% 1.68–9.64), low scores in the sit-to-stand test (OR = 0.89; IC95% 0.82–0.96) and lower HGS (OR = 0.95; IC95% 0.93–0.98). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of DS observed was high (35.4%) and, considering the associations presented, it is suggested that illiterate or poorly educated, weaker and slower women with difficulty in IADL should be investigated for the presence of depressive symptoms, for being at the risk of developing them

Body image satisfaction, sociodemographic, functional and clinical aspects of community-dwelling older adults

Abstract Body image, according to the definition by Ledoux et al.(1) is “the systematic, cognitive, affective, conscious, and unconscious representation that people have concerning their bodies during their biological development and throughout their social relationships”. Objective: To determine the prevalence of body image satisfaction (BIS) and its relationship with sociodemographic, functional and clinical aspects in older adults. Methods: A cross-sectional, analytical and prospective study of a random sample of older adults from all health districts of Porto Alegre (30 health units) was conducted. The following aspects were studied: sociodemographic data (sex, age, marital status and education), BIS (Stunkard’s scale), functional tests (30 seconds Sit/Stand Test, time to walk 10m, Handgrip Strength - HGS), physical activity (Minnesota Questionnaire) and cognition (Mini-Mental State Examination). Results: Most of the 532 participants were dissatisfied with their body image (92.5%), particularly the women (71.7%). After Binary Logistic Regression (6 steps), BIS predictors were: high scores for the Sit/Stand (OR: 1.13; p=0.013), higher HGS (OR: 1.06; p=0.049), shorter time engaged in physical activity (OR: 0.77; p<0.001). Conclusion: The prevalence of BIS was low and most of the variables analyzed bore no relation to BIS. Notwithstanding, a relationship was found with greater HGS, higher Sit/Stand score and less time engaged in physical activity. Given the scarcity of studies on this subject, our study furthers the knowledge on how body image affects this population group
