Abstract
O propósito deste estudo foi o de analisar a relação dos aspectos sociodemográficos e referentes às condições de saúde com a incapacidade funcional em mulheres idosas de baixa renda. O estudo teve delineamento transversal, com uma amostra representativa de 222 mulheres, com média de 70 anos (± 7,27), pertencentes a grupos de convivência no município de Jequié, Bahia. Foram realizadas medidas antropométricas e a aplicação de uma entrevista contemplando as variáveis: sociodemográficas, saúde física e comportamental. A análise estatística foi realizada com nível de significância p<0,05, com cálculo da respectiva razão de chances na regressão logística binária, para análise de fatores hierarquicamente agrupados. A prevalência de incapacidade funcional foi de 46,8%, nos quais a partir de análise multivariada hierarquizada verificaram-se associação significativa com o aumento da idade, baixo nível de educação, hospitalização, ausência de práticas de atividades físicas ao longo da vida e alterações na função cognitiva. As características identificadas que associaram as limitações em atividades instrumentais da vida diária sugerem uma complexa rede causal na determinação da capacidade funcional em mulheres idosas de baixa renda.
The scope of this study was to analyze the relationship between socio-demographic and health-related aspects and functional incapacity among low-income elderly women. This cross-sectional study involved a representative sample of 222 women with mean age of 70 years (± 7.27), in community groups in the city of Jequié, in the State of Bahia, Brazil. Anthropometric measurements were taken and interviews staged to examine the socio-demographic, physical and behavioral health variables. The statistical analysis was accomplished with a level of significance of p<0.05, with calculation of the respective odds ratio in the binary logistic regression, for analysis of hierarchically-grouped factors. The prevalence of functional incapacity was 46.8% and, by using hierarchical multivariate analysis, a significant association was detected with increased age, insufficient schooling, hospitalization, lack of physical exercise throughout life and alterations in the cognitive function. The characteristics identified that associated limitations in instrumental activities in daily life suggest a complex causal network in the determination of functional incapacity in low-income elderly women.
