Com o objetivo de avaliar a autopercepção negativa da saúde entre usuários da atenção básica de saúde, foi realizado um estudo transversal com 1246 adultos e idosos, de ambos os sexos, em Pelotas, RS. A prevalência da autopercepção negativa da saúde foi referida por 41,6% dos entrevistados. As mulheres, aqueles que não estavam trabalhando, que referiram diagnóstico de três ou mais doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, que estavam em insegurança alimentar e não praticavam atividade física relataram em maior proporção, a autopercepção negativa da saúde. Enquanto que os usuários com no mínimo o ensino superior e aqueles cujos domicílios tinham quatro ou mais moradores foram menos predispostos ao desfecho. A elevada prevalência de autopercepção negativa da saúde nessa população, bem como as associações encontradas, indicam a necessidade de maior entendimento sobre a influência desses fatores na procura pelo atendimento e, consequentemente na adesão ao tratamento.

Abstract:
In order to evaluate the negative self-perception of health among users of primary health care, a cross-sectional study was conducted with 1246 adults and elderly, men and women, of both sexes in Pelotas, RS. The prevalence of negative self-perception of health was reported by 41.6% of respondents. Women, those who were not working, who reported a diagnosis of three or more chronic non communicable diseases, who were food insecure and did not practice physical activity, reported a higher proportion of negative self-perception of health. Users with at least higher education level and those whose households had four or more residents, were less predisposed to outcome. The high prevalence of negative self-perception of health in this population, as well as the associations found, indicate the need for a better understanding of the influence of these factors on the demand for care and, consequently, on adherence to treatment.
