0242/2018 - Manutenção do trabalho e presença de condições crônicas em idosos comunitários: Evidências da rede FIBRA-BH. Employment maintenance and chronic conditions among community-dwelling older people: Evidencerede FIBRA-BH.
Este estudo transversal foi conduzido em uma amostra probabilística de 597 idosos comunitários residentes em Belo Horizonte, com o objetivo de avaliar quais condições crônicas apresentam associações independentes com a permanência do idoso no mercado de trabalho, a fim de verificar a influência de cada uma isoladamente. A análise multivariada foi baseada em modelos de regressão de Poisson, com variância robusta e, ajustadas por sexo, idade, escolaridade, aposentadoria e condições crônicas. A condição de saúde que apresentou associação independente e estatisticamente significante com o trabalho atual foi a artrite (ou reumatismo), mesmo após ajuste por outras condições crônicas, de modo que idosos que relataram diagnóstico médico de atrite tiveram menor propensão de permanecerem no mercado de trabalho (Razão de Prevalência [RP] ajustada = 0,54; IC 95%: 0,35-0,85). Além disso, os resultados mostraram que o sexo modifica essa associação, sendo essa propensão menor somente entre o sexo feminino (RP=0,45; IC 95%: 0,25-0,84). Estes resultados reforçam a importância da promoção da saúde entre os trabalhadores, principalmente na prevenção e controle da artrite entre as mulheres.

Abstract:
This cross-sectional study was based on a probabilistic sample of 597 community-dwelling older people living in Belo Horizonte. The aim was to assess which chronic conditions are independently associated with employment maintenance among older people. It was made to assess the isolated effect of each one. The multivariate analysis was based on Poisson regression models with robust variance, adjusted by sex, age, schooling, retirement and chronic conditions. Arthritis was the only chronic condition with independent and statistic significant association with employment maintenance, even after adjustment by other chronic conditions: older people with medical diagnosis of arthritis have lower odds of being at labour market (Fully adjusted Prevalence ratio [PR] = 0.54; CI 95%: 0.35,0.85). Moreover, our results showed that sex modifies this association, in the sense that the lower odds is only demonstrated among females (PR=0.45; CI 95%: 0.25,0.84). Our results highlight the importance of health promotion among workers, mostly the arthritis prevention and management among women.
