1347/2011 - Capacidade funcional de idosos atendidos em um programa do SUS em Belém/PA Functional capacity of elderly at the program of SUS in Belém/PA
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar fatores associados à capacidade funcional em idosos atendidos em um programa de saúde pública em Belém/PA. Realizou-se estudo seccional com 259 idosos atendidos no programa Hiperdia/SUS no período de março a julho de 2010. Os idosos foram avaliados pelo teste de desempenho físico modificado, validado no Brasil. Nas análises utilizaram-se o teste do qui-quadrado de Pearson, análise de variância e regressão. Os idosos tinham em média 68,3 anos (DP±6,2) e 71,0% eram do sexo feminino. Após ajustes por variáveis de confundimento, observaram-se maiores chances de pior desempenho no teste entre as mulheres, os mais velhos e de menor escolaridade, além de queixa de dor no joelho, diagnóstico anterior de catarata e autoavaliação de saúde regular/ruim. A capacidade funcional é um indicador de saúde importante para se identificar precocemente riscos de incapacidade e requerendo uma avaliação periódica, no intuito de se buscar estratégias cuidativas para a manutenção da independência dos idosos.
