Abstract
A influência da situação sócio-econômica sobre a saúde dos idosos é controversa. Nós utilizamos dados da PNAD 1998 para examinar esta influência em uma amostra de 19.068 idosos representativos da população brasileira com ³ 65 anos de idade. Aqueles com renda domiciliar per capita situada no quintil mais baixo foram comparados àqueles com renda mais alta (< 0,67 e ³ 0,67 salários mínimos). Os idosos com renda mais baixa apresentaram piores condições de saúde (pior percepção da saúde, interrupção de atividades por problemas de saúde, ter estado acamado e relato de algumas doenças crônicas), pior função física (avaliada através de seis indicadores) e menor uso de serviços de saúde (menor procura e menos visitas a médicos e dentistas). Esses resultados não confirmam observações realizadas em alguns países desenvolvidos quanto à ausência de associação entre o nível sócio-econômico e a saúde do idoso. Ao contrário, os resultados deste trabalho mostram que mesmo pequenas diferenças na renda domiciliar são suficientemente sensíveis para identificar idosos com piores condições de saúde e menor acesso aos serviços de saúde no Brasil.
The influence of socioeconomic circumstances on senior citizens' health is still controversial. We used data from the 1998 Brazilian National Household Survey (PNAD 1998) to examine this influence. A representative sample of the Brazilian population aged ³ 65 years (n = 19,068) were included in the study. The characteristics of those in the lower quintile of per capita household income were compared with those with higher income (< 0.67 vs³ 0.67 the Brazilian minimum wage). The lower income group presented worse health conditions (self-rated health, inability to perform routine activities due to a health problem, bedridden conditions, and a report of any disease), and worse physical functioning (level of difficulty in performing selected physical activities), and less frequent use of medical and dental services. These results do not confirm observations, in some developed countries, of a lack of association between socioeconomic status and health among the elderly. On the contrary, according to our results, in Brazil even small differences in income are sufficiently sensitive to identify older adults with worse health conditions and limited access to health services.
