Objetivos: Descrever variações em medidas de doenças crônicas, capacidade funcional, envolvimento social e satisfação com relação a memória, capacidade de resolver problemas, relações sociais, ambiente, serviços de saúde e transportes, conforme gênero, idade e renda familiar, e analisar correlações entre envolvimento social e capacidade funcional, conforme gênero e idade, em idosos independentes, com 65 anos e mais, recrutados na comunidade. Métodos: 2.472 idosos sem déficit cognitivo, integrantes de amostras probabilísticas de sete localidades brasileiras foram submetidos a medidas de autorrelato sobre todas as variáveis, com exceção de força de preensão palmar e velocidade da marcha, avaliadas por testes objetivos. Resultados: A idade média foi 72,2 + 5,5 anos e a renda =3,9 + 4,9 SM; 65,7% eram mulheres, que apresentaram mais doenças, pior desempenho funcional e maior envolvimento social do que os homens. Os de 80 anos ou mais e os mais pobres tiveram pior desempenho funcional e menor envolvimento social. Houve correlação entre capacidade funcional e envolvimento social. Renda relacionou-se com satisfação com memória, solução de problemas, serviços de saúde e transportes. Conclusão: Saúde e satisfação interagem na velhice, influenciando padrões de atividade e de envolvimento social.
Objectives: Describing variations in measures of chronic diseases, functional ability, social involvement and satisfaction concerning memory, problem solving, social relationships, environment, health services and transportation according gender, age and income, and analyzing correlations between social involvement and functional ability according gender and age, in independent community dwelling-elderly aged 65 and above. Methods: 2,472 seniors without cognitive deficit, from probabilistic samples of seven Brazilian localities, were submitted to self-report measures concerning all variables, with exception of grip strength and gait speed, which involved objective tests. Results: Mean age was 72.2 + 5.5 years and mean income was 3.9 + 4.9 MW; 65.7% were women, who had more diseases, worse functional performance and greater social involvement than men; those aged 80 and above and the poorest participants had worse functional performance and less social involvement. There were observed correlations between functional ability and social involvement. Level of income was related to satisfaction concerning memory, problem solving, health and transport services. Conclusion: health, functionality and satisfaction interact in old age, influencing patterns of activity and social involvement.
