Abstract:

The objective of this study was to analyze inequalities in indicators of active aging, second race/color, schooling, income and health plan possession among 986 elderly participants of the Health Survey of Campinas, São Paulo - 2014/15. We estimated the prevalence of participation of the elderly in 11 activities and the prevalence ratios were calculated by Poisson regression. The results revealed that whites and blacks participated in a similar way in all activities of the social dimension, but in physical activity performed at work it was observed a predominance of blacks (14.1% versus 8.2%) and higher prevalence of whites (PR = 2.11) was found in internet use. Among the elderly with higher schooling, higher income and possession of a health plan, higher prevalences of participation in physical leisure activities, internet use, courses and social activities were observed, except for religious services. The results reveal that the elderly with greater accumulation of educational and financial resources has greater access to activities that are known to be associated with health and well-being. The study also identified important demands for SUS, since the population that depends exclusively on this system presented less participation in activities beneficial to health.
