0367/2022 - Prevalência de ingestão hídrica e fatores associados entre idosos não institucionalizados do sul do Brasil Water intake among community-dwelling older adultsSouthern Brazil
O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever a percentagem de idosos com uma ingestão adequada de água e seus respectivos fatores associados entre idosos não institucionalizados residentes na zona urbana de Pelotas-RS. Estudo transversal de base populacional realizado em 2014 com idosos (?60 anos) participantes do estudo “COMO VAI?”. Investigou-se o número de copos de água ingeridos/dia dos entrevistados, considerando-se adequada a ingestão de pelo menos oito copos/dia. As variáveis independentes foram características sociodemográficas, comportamentais e de saúde. A Regressão de Poisson foi utilizada para a investigação das associações. Foram entrevistados 1.451 idosos, sendo observado que uma baixa percentagem 12,6% (IC95% 10,8; 14,7) referiu consumo adequado de água entre os idosos do estudo. Maior percentagem de consumo adequado de água foi observada nos idosos mais jovens, com excesso de peso, que apresentaram cinco ou mais doenças e que eram mais dependentes quanto à capacidade funcional. A tendência decrescente de ingestão de água em relação à idade torna essencial o desenvolvimento de ações voltadas para essa população de maior risco acerca da importância de uma ingestão hídrica adequada e das possíveis consequências do seu consumo inadequado.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine the rate of older individuals with an adequate water intake and its associated factors among community-dwelling older adults living in the urban area of Pelotas-RS. Cross-sectional population-based study carried out in 2014 with older (≥60 years) participants of the study \"COMO VAI?”. The number of glasses of water ingested/day of the interviews was investigated, considering the ingestion of at least eight glasses/day to be adequate. The independent variables were sociodemographic, behavioral, and health characteristics. Poisson Regression was used to investigate associations. A total of 1,451 elderly people were interviewed, with only 12.6% (95%CI 10.8; 14.7) presented adequate water consumption. A higher percentage of older subjects with an adequate water consumption was observed in those younger elderly, in those with overweight, who had five or more diseases, and those who were more dependent on functional capacity. A low percentage of older subjects with an adequate water intake was observed among the older adults in the study. The decreasing trend of water intake in relation to age highlights the importance to develop actions to this higher risk population about in order to stimulate an adequate water intake and the possible consequences of the lack of proper consumption.
