Resumo:
Objetivo: Avaliar os fatores associados a quedas em idosos comunitários com diagnóstico de catarata. Métodos: Trata-se de pesquisa transversal e analítica. A amostra se constituiu de idosos comunitários residentes no Distrito Federal, Brasil. Foram aplicados os seguintes instrumentos: questionário sóciodemográfico; Timed Up and Go; Short Battery Performance Test; a Plataforma de Equilíbrio Biodex Balance System; o Índice de Katz, escala de Lawton; Mini-Exame do Estado Mental; e os critérios de fragilidade de John Hopkins Medical Institutions. Para análise empregou-se regressão logística binária. Resultados: Participaram 142 idosos (85 destes com catarata), com média de idade de 69,39 anos (±5,67). Observou-se associação das quedas com sexo feminino (OR:4,45) e pontuação submáxima no SPPB (OR:3,53) entre os pacientes com catarata, ao passo que a presença de multimorbidades (OR:5,10) foi o fator de risco para os idosos sem catarata. Conclusão: Os dados sugerem fatores de risco diferentes para idosos com diagnóstico de catarata.

Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate the factors associated with falls in community-dwelling elderly diagnosed with cataracts. Methods: This is a cross-sectional and analytical research. The sample consisted of community-dwelling elderly, residents in the Federal District, Brazil. Interview and various instruments were applied such as the Timed Up and Go, Short Battery Performance Test; the risk of falls tested using the Biodex Balance System Balance Platform; the Katz Index and Lawton scale; Minnesota Leisure Time Activities Questionnaire and Mini Mental State Examination. For analysis, we used binary logistic regression. Results: Participants were 142 elderly people (85 of them with cataracts), with a mean age of 69.39 years (± 5.67). There was an association of the falls with women (OR: 4.45) and submaximal score in SPPB (OR: 3.53) among patients with cataract, while the presence of multimorbidity (OR: 5.10) was the factor risk for older people without cataracts. Conclusion: The data suggest different risk factors for older adults diagnosed with cataracts.
