Saúde do Idoso
Resumo:
O prolongamento da vida sexual, somado a práticas inseguras, tem refletido na possibilidade de ocorrência de DSTs em idosos. O objetivo é analisar a tendência evolutiva das DSTs em idosos no Brasil e no mundo e identificar os aspectos abordados nas pesquisas desse tema, visando fornecer dados que possam subsidiar políticas públicas voltadas à saúde desses indivíduos. Uma revisão sistemática nas bases de dados LILACS, IBECS, COCHRANE, MEDLINE, SciELO e PubMed foi realizada. De 979 artigos encontrados, 44 foram incluídos por preencherem os critérios de inclusão. Seis eixos temáticos principais foram identificados, sendo que cada artigo pode contemplar mais de um eixo: fatores de risco (34 artigos), influência do Sildenafil (18), diagnóstico de DSTs (20), tratamento (24) e comorbidades relacionadas ao HIV (24) e prevenção de DSTs (20). Conclui-se que essa faixa etária permanece fora do foco das políticas públicas de promoção da saúde no contexto das DSTs, existindo a necessidade de conscientização acerca das mudanças de comportamento e perfil epidemiológico nessa população.

Abstract:
The prolongation of sexual life, added to unsafe practices, reflects on the possibility of STDs in older people. The purpose is to analyze the evolution trend of STDs among the elderly in Brazil and in the world and also identify the main issues addressed in the literature, providing data that can support public policies that address the health of older people. A systematic review was performed in LILACS, IBECS, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, SciELO and PubMed. Of a total of 979 studies found, 44 matched the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Six main themes were identified: risk factors for infection (34 studies), the influence of Sildenafil as a possible factor (18), diagnosis of STDs in general (20), HIV treatment (24), comorbidities related to HIV (24) and main aspects of prevention (20). More than one theme can be found in each study. We conclude that this age group remains out of the focus of public policies of health promotion in the STDs context. Therefore, there is a need for awareness about changes in behavior and epidemiological profile of this population.
