Sleep Duration And Health Status Self-assessment (sf-36) In The Elderly: A Population-based Study (isa-camp 2008).

The aim of this study was to determine the association between sleep duration and health status among the elderly. A population-based study was carried out with 1,418 elderly individuals using data from the health survey of Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil (ISA-Camp 2008). Linear regression models were used to determine associations between the physical and mental components and subscales of the SF-36 and sleep duration. Elderly male individuals who slept ≤ 6 hours obtained lower mean SF-36 scores for the vitality and mental health scales and the mental component summary than those who slept for seven to eight hours. All scales were negatively associated with sleep duration ≥ 10 hours, except bodily pain. Scores for the mental health, vitality and role-emotional subscales were lower among women who slept for less than five hours. Mental health was negatively associated with ≥ 10 hours of sleep. Sleep deprivation and excessive sleep were associated with poorer health status, with differences between genders, principally in the long duration sleep categories.281674-8

Social Inequalities In Health Among The Elderly.

The aim of the present study was to assess social inequalities in health status, health behavior and the use of health services based on education level. A population-based cross-sectional study was carried out involving 1,518 elderly residents of Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil. Significant demographic and social differences were found between schooling strata. Elderly individuals with a higher degree of schooling are in greater proportion alcohol drinkers, physically active, have healthier diets and a lower prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, dizziness, headaches, back pain, visual impairment and denture use, and better self-rated health. But, there were no differences in the use of health services in the previous two weeks, in hospitalizations or surgeries in the previous year, nor in medicine intake over the previous three days. Among elderly people with hypertension and diabetes, there were no differences in the regular use of health services and medication. The results demonstrate social inequalities in different health indicators, along with equity in access to some health service components.27 Suppl 2S198-20

É um estudo transversal de base populacional com 1.518 idosos residentes em Campinas, São Paulo, Brasil (ISA-Camp 2008/2009). Observaram-se significativas diferenças sociodemográficas entre os estratos estudados. Idosos de melhor nível educacional, em maior proporção, consomem bebidas alcoólicas, são mais ativos fisicamente em contexto de lazer e têm padrões de dieta mais saudáveis. Apresentam, também, menor prevalência de hipertensão, diabetes, tontura, dor de cabeça, dor nas costas, deficiência visual, uso de prótese dentária e de saúde autoavaliada como ruim. Mas, não houve diferença no uso de serviços de saúde, hospitalizações, cirurgias e uso de medicamentos. Entre os hipertensos ou diabéticos, não houve diferença quanto ao uso regular de serviços de saúde e de medicamentos. Os resultados apontam a presença de desigualdades sociais em diversos indicadores de saúde e a presença de equidade no acesso a alguns componentes dos serviços de saúde.CNPqBrazilian Ministry of HealthCampinas Health DepartmentUNICAMP - Funcamp/SMSFAPES

Qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde em idosos, avaliada com o uso do SF-36 em estudo de base populacional

As life expectancy continues to rise, one of the greatest challenges of public health is to improve the quality of later years of life. The aim of this present study was to analyze the quality of life profile of the elderly across different demographic and socioeconomic factors. A cross-sectional study was carried out in two stages, involving 1,958 individuals aged 60 years or more. Health related quality of life (HRQOL) was assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire. The lowest scores were found among measures for vitality, mental health and general health and the highest among factors including social functioning and role limitations due to emotional and physical factors. HRQOL was found to be worse among women, in individuals at advanced ages, those who practiced evangelical religions and those with lower levels of income and schooling. The greatest differences in SF-36 scores between the categories were observed in functional capacity and physical factors. The results suggest that healthcare programs for the elderly should take into account the multi-dimensionality of health and social inequalities so that interventions can target the most affected elements of HRQOL as well as the most vulnerable subgroups of the population251021592167FUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO - FAPESP88/14099Com o aumento da esperança de vida, a melhoria da qualidade de vida dos anos conquistados passou a ser um dos maiores desafios da saúde pública.

Sleep duration, health status, and subjective well-being: a population-based study

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate, in a population-based approach, the association of extreme sleep duration with sociodemographic factors, health, and well-being. METHODS: We analyzed the data from the 2014/2015 Health Survey in the city of Campinas, State of São Paulo, Brazil (ISACamp), performed with 1,969 individuals (≥ 20 years old). Associations between the independent variable and short (≤ 6 hours) and long (≥ 9 hours) sleep were determined using the Rao-Scott chi-square test. The analyses were adjusted with multinomial logistic regression models. RESULTS: Men, individuals aged 40 to 59, those with higher schooling, those who have one (OR = 1.47, 95%CI 1.02–2.12), two (OR = 1.73, 95%CI 1.07–2.80), or three or more (OR = 1.62, 95%CI 1.16–2.28) chronic diseases, and those with three or more health problems (OR = 1.96, 95%CI 1.22–3.17) were more likely to have a short sleep. The chance of long sleep was higher in widowers and lower in those who have more years of schooling, with higher income, worked, lived with more residents at home, and reported three or more diseases (OR = 0.68, 95%CI 0.48–0.97) and health problems. The chance of either short (OR = 2.41, 95%CI 1.51–3.87) or long sleep (OR = 2.07, 95%CI 1.23–3.48) was higher in unhappy individuals. CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight the higher chance of short sleep duration among men, among persons in productive age, and among those with a higher level of schooling in a Brazilian city. The association of short sleep with comorbidities and the association of happiness with extremes of sleep duration were also important results to understand the relation of sleep duration with health and well-being

Qualidade do sono, saúde e bem-estar em estudo de base populacional

OBJETIVO: Estimar a prevalência de sono autoavaliado como ruim e identificar os subgrupos da população mais susceptíveis ao problema. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de estudo transversal, de base populacional, desenvolvido com dados de Inquérito de Saúde conduzido no município de Campinas (ISACamp 2014/2015). Foram analisados dados de amostra representativa de 1.998 indivíduos com 20 anos ou mais de idade. A qualidade autoavaliada do sono foi analisada segundo características sóciodemográficas, morbidades, comportamentos de saúde e sentimentos de bem-estar. Analisou-se também a associação da qualidade do sono com diferentes queixas e características do sono. Foram estimadas razões de prevalências e desenvolvido modelo de regressão múltipla de Poisson, considerando-se nas análises os pesos amostrais. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de sono autoavaliado como ruim foi 29,1% e mostrou-se significativamente mais elevada nas mulheres, em indivíduos de 40 a 50 anos de idade, migrantes, sem ocupação, fisicamente inativos em contexto de lazer, com transtorno mental comum (RP = 1,59), com maior número de problemas de saúde (RP = 2,33), com saúde autoavaliada como ruim (RP = 1,61) e que manifestavam insatisfação com a vida. Sono ruim esteve fortemente associado com relatos de dificuldade de iniciar o sono (RP = 4,17), de manter o sono (RP = 4,40) e com nunca ou quase nunca se sentir bem-disposto ao acordar (RP = 4,52). CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados identificam os segmentos da população com má qualidade do sono que merecem maior atenção e destacam a necessidade de avaliar, além da presença de comorbidades, a saúde mental e a presença de sentimentos de bem-estar no processo de cuidado dos pacientes com problemas de sono e no planejamento de intervenções voltadas à promoção de sono saudável.OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of poor self-rated sleep and to identify the population subgroups most susceptible to the problem. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional, population-based study developed with data from the Health Survey conducted in the city of Campinas (ISACamp 2014/2015). Data from a sample of 1,998 individuals aged 20 years or older were analyzed. The self-rated quality of sleep was analyzed according to socio-demographic characteristics, morbidities, health behaviors and feeling of well-being. The association of sleep quality with different complaints and characteristics of sleep was also analyzed. Adjusted prevalence ratios were estimed using Poisson multiple regression model allowing for the sample weights. RESULTS: Prevalence of poor self-rated sleep was 29.1% and showed to be significantly higher in women, in individuals aged from 40 to 50 years, migrants, without occupation, physically inactive in leisure context, with common mental disorder (PR = 1.59), with greater number of health problems (PR = 2.33), poor self-rated health (PR = 1.61), and life dissatisfaction. Poor sleep was strongly associated with reports of difficulty in initiating sleep (PR = 4.17), in maintaining sleep (PR = 4.40) and with never or almost never feeling well when waking up (PR = 4.52). CONCLUSIONS: The results identify the population subgroups with poor quality of sleep that deserve greater attention. It also highlight the need to consider, in addition to the presence of comorbidities, mental health and the feeling of well-being in the care of patients with sleep problems and in the interventions planed for promoting healthy sleep

Comportamentos relacionados a saúde e qualidade de vida em idosos: um estudo de base populacional

To assess the association between health-related behaviors and quality of life among the elderly. A population-based cross-sectional study was carried out including 1,958 elderly living in four areas in the state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil, 2001/2002. Quality of life was assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study SF-36-Item Short Form Health Survey instrument. This instrument's eight subscales and two components were the dependent variables. Independent variables were physical activity, weekly frequency of alcohol consumption and smoking. Multiple linear regression models were used to control for the effect of gender, age, schooling, work, area of residence and number of chronic conditions. Physical activity was positively associated with the eight SF-36 subscales. The stronger associations were found for role-physical (β=11.9), physical functioning (β=11.3) and physical component. Elderly individuals who consumed alcohol at least once a week showed a better quality of life than those did not consume alcohol. Compared to non-smokers, smokers had a poorer quality of life for the mental component (β=-2.4). The study results showed that physical activity, moderate alcohol consumption and no smoking are positively associated with a better quality of life in the elderly453485493Analisar a associação de comportamentos saudáveis com a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde em idosos. Estudo transversal de base populacional que envolveu 1.958 idosos residentes em quatro áreas do estado de São Paulo, em 2001/2002. A qualidade de vida foi aferida com o uso do instrumento Medical Outcomes Study SF-36-Item Short Form Health Survey. As oito escalas e os dois componentes do instrumento constituíram as variáveis dependentes e as independentes foram atividade física, freqüência semanal de ingestão de bebida alcoólica e hábito de fumar. Modelos de regressão linear múltipla foram usados para controlar o efeito de sexo, idade, escolaridade, trabalho, área de residência e número de doenças crônicas. Atividade física foi positivamente associada com as oito escalas do SF-36. As maiores associações foram encontradas em aspectos físicos (β = 11,9), capacidade funcional (β = 11,3) e no componente físico. Idosos que ingeriam bebida alcoólica pelo menos uma vez por semana apresentaram melhor qualidade de vida do que os que não ingeriam. Comparados com os que nunca fumaram, os fumantes tiveram pior qualidade de vida no componente mental (β = -2,4). Os resultados apresentam que praticar atividade física, consumir bebida alcoólica moderadamente e não fumar são fatores positivamente associados a uma melhor qualidade de vida em idoso
