0170/2022 - Estatuto do Idoso: análise dos fatores associados ao seu conhecimento pela população idosa brasileira Elderly Statute: analysis of the factors associated with its knowledge by the brazilian elderly population
Objetivo: Analisar os fatores associados ao conhecimento do Estatuto do Idoso pela população brasileira não institucionalizada com 60 anos ou mais. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo transversal e exploratório, que utilizou dados do Estudo Longitudinal de Saúde dos Idosos Brasileiros (ELSI-Brasil) realizado nos anos de 2015 e 2016. A análise estatística foi feita por meio do teste qui-quadrado e emprego de modelos logísticos binários. Resultados: Maiores chances de conhecer o Estatuto do Idoso entre os mais escolarizados (OR: 3,17; IC95%: 2,19-4,60), aqueles pertencentes ao quartil mais alto de riqueza (OR: 2,96; IC95%; 2,00-4,38) e entre os que sofreram discriminação em função da idade (OR: 1,73; IC95%: 1,39-2,16). Em contrapartida, ter 80 anos ou mais (OR: 0,59; IC95%; 0,43-0,82) e menor comunicação com os filhos (OR: 0,56; IC95%; 0,43-0,74) está associado a um menor conhecimento dessa legislação Conclusão: Muitas desigualdades no conhecimento dessa legislação, em especial as socioeconômicas, foram observadas demonstrando que o conhecimento dos direitos estabelecidos não é homogêneo. O entendimento de toda a população quanto às prerrogativas do Estatuto do Idoso é essencial para avanços quanto a sua aplicabilidade e efetividade.
Objective: To analyze the factors associated with knowledge of the Elderly Statute by the non-institutionalized Brazilian population aged 60 years and over. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional and exploratory study, which used datathe Longitudinal Study of Health of Elderly Brazilians (ELSI-Brasil) carried out in 2015 and 2016. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test and use of binary logistic models. Results: Greater chances of knowing the Elderly Statute among the more educated elderly (OR: 3.17; 95%CI: 2.19-4.60), those belonging to the highest quartile of the wealth index (OR: 2.96; 95%CI %; 2.00-4.38) and among those who suffered discrimination based on age (OR: 1.73; 95%CI: 1.39-2.16). On the other hand, being 80 years old or older (OR: 0.59; 95%CI; 0.43-0.82) and having less communication with their children (OR: 0.56; 95%CI; 0.43-0.74) is associated with less knowledge of this legislation. Conclusion: Many inequalities in the knowledge of this legislation, especially socioeconomic ones, were observed, demonstrating that the knowledge of established rights is not homogeneous. For greater effectiveness of the Elderly Statute, it is essential that the population to which it refers come to know in greater depth what is established in its prerogatives.
