Abstract:

The negative self-perception of health constitutes a relevant construct for the analysis of the elderly population health conditions and should be recognized as a guiding tool for health promotion actions. The present study, analytical cross-sectional research performed in 2015 with convenience sampling, aimed to verify the prevalence and the associated factors to a negative self-perception of health in elderly assisted in a referral center. The negative self-perception association with health-related socio-demographic variables was investigated. Bivariate analysis followed by multiple analysis by Poisson regression was performed to verify the variables associated with the outcome. 360 elderly were evaluated. The negative self-perception of health prevalence was 60.5%. In the final model, associated factors were identified: age ranging65 to 79 years (PR=1; CI95%=0.648-0.974; p=0.027); frailty (PR=1.28; CI95%=1.07-1.54; p=0.007); depression symptoms (PR=1.40; CI95%=1.19-1.67; p=0.000); and provide care for someone (PR=1.49; CI95%=1.18-1.88; p=0.001). The negative self-perception of health high prevalence and the associated factors point to the need for effective health promotion actions and more specific care for the elderly assisted in the referral center.
