Resumo:
Comunidades quilombolas vivenciam situação de vulnerabilidade social, mesmo após mais de um século da abolição da escravatura, principalmente em relação aos cuidados de saúde. Este estudo objetivou conhecer a autopercepção da saúde (APS) em comunidades quilombolas do Norte de Minas Gerais e os fatores associados à percepção negativa da própria saúde. Trata-se de inquérito domiciliar com amostra representativa das comunidades quilombolas da região estudada. Foram utilizados instrumentos validados para coleta de dados sobre a APS, condi-ções socioeconômicas e demográficas, hábitos de vida e morbidade autorreferida. Após análise bivariada, conduziu-se análise de regressão logística hierarquizada. A prevalência de APS negativa foi de 46,0%. Após análise estatística, as seguintes variáveis mostraram-se estatisticamente associados a uma APS negativa: idade e escolaridade, como variáveis distais e hipertensão, diabetes, artrite, depressão e problemas de coluna como variáveis proximais A APS mostrou-se associada à dimensões demográficas, socioeconômicas e, especialmente, à morbidade autorreferida. O conceito de saúde para as comunidades quilombolas estudadas parece estar intimamente ligado a ausência de doenças, especialmente as doenças crônicas.

Abstract:
Quilombo communities live in condition of social vulnerability, even more than a century after the abolition of slavery, especially in relation to health care. This study investigated the self-rated health (SRH) in quilombo communities in northern Minas Gerais, Brazil, and the factors associated with negative SRH. This is a household survey with a representative sample of quilombo communities in the region studied. We used validated instruments to collect data on the SRH, socioeconomic and demographic conditions, lifestyle, and self-reported morbidity. After bivariate analysis was conducted hierarchical logistic regression analysis. The prevalence of negative SRH was 46.0%. After statistical analysis, the following variables were statistically associated with a negative APS: age and education, as distal variables and hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, depression and back problems as proximal variables. SRH was associated with demographic and socioeconomic dimensions and, especially, with self-reported morbidity. The concept of health for the studied communities seems to be closely linked to the absence of diseases, especially chronic diseases.
