Abstract:

Estimate the prevalence of spinal disorders in the elderly and analyze potential associated factors. It involved cross-sectional study in a sample of 1,593 elderly individuals aged 60 years or more residing in the urban área of Bagé - RS. In addition to the \"spinal disorders\" outcome, we investigated demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral characteristics, health perception, functional activities and use of health services. Data collection was done through a face-to-face interview. Poisson regression analysis with robust variance was used to verify the factors associated with the outcome analyzed. Of the 1593 participants, 37.4% reported spinal disorders. The factors related to the outcome were; low level of schooling, poor self-assessment of health, consultation in the last three months and presence of hypertension, rheumatism and fractures. Interventions for musculoskeletal health can contribute to reduce the damages caused by spinal disorders in the elderly, such as loss of functional capacity, increased demands for health care and reduction of quality of life.
