Abstract:

This comparative and cross-sectional study analyzed negative self-rated health in elderly people, according to sociodemographic and health variables, use of public or private health services, functional performance, frailty and depressive symptoms. The participants were living in Belem (n = 571) and Campinas (n = 676), cities with different socioeconomic conditions they integrated a multicentric study on frailty (Fibra Study, Unicamp). Multivariate regression analysis showed that in both cities, negative self-rated health was associated with low education, three or more chronic diseases and visual deficits. In Belém, were also observed additional associations with fatigue, three or more signs and symptoms and use of public health services; in Campinas, was associated also with depressive symptoms. The associations suggest that poor health in old age are the result of accumulation of deficits for lack of socioeconomic resources throughout life and that deficits are not sufficiently compensated for health services in old age.
