Resumo:
Introdução: A característica histórico-cultural brasileira reflete a população. Idosos negros apresentam desvantagens nos aspectos sócio-econômicos e demográficos, clínico-funcionais e psicossociais, reduzindo autonomia social e independência funcional. O declínio na condição funcional devido idade e variáveis associadas à etnia podem contribuir em eventos incapacitantes, como quedas. Objetivos: Avaliar ocorrência de quedas e fatores associados em idosos de diferentes etnias autodeclaradas. Métodos: Foram coletados dados sócio-demográficos, clínicos-funcionais, aspectos relacionados às quedas; Avaliou-se mobilidade, condição funcional e cognição. Estatística assumindo significância de p≤0,05. Resultados: Amostra de 196 idosos sendo 48,5% brancos, 28% pardos, 23,5% negros. Média de 69,9 anos. Mobilidade reduzida classificando médio risco a quedas para 60% (p<0,013) dos idosos. Referente aos grupos, significância entre variáveis para renda familiar (p<0,029), ocorrência (p<0,006) e medo de quedas (p<0,023) e quase-quedas (p<0,000). Negros caem com maior frequência (p<0,03). Conclusão: Significância estatística entre etnia autodeclarada e ocorrência de quedas, medo de cair e ocorrência de quase-quedas, limitação funcional e risco médio a quedas por mobilidade reduzida, frequência maior de quedas aos idosos negros.

Abstract:
Introduction: The historical and cultural characteristics reflect the Brazilian population. Elderly blacks are disadvantaged in socio-economic and demographic, clinical, functional and psychosocial aspects, reducing social autonomy and functional independence. The decline in functional status due to variables associated with age and ethnicity can contribute to disabling events, such as falls. Objective: Evaluate falls occurrence and associated factors in elderly people from different ethnic groups self-declared. Methods: Socio-demographic, clinical and functional aspects related to falls were analyzed; Mobility, functional status and cognition were measured. Statistical significance of p≤0.05. Results: A sample of 196 elderly was 48.5% white, 28% brown, 23.5% black. Average of 69.9 years. Reduced mobility classifying medium risk to falls in 60% (p<0.013) of the elderly. Referring to groups analyzed, significant differences between variables for family income (p <0.029), occurrence (p <0.006) and fear of falls (p <0.023) and near-falls (p <0.000). Blacks fall more often (p <0.03). Conclusion: Statistical significance between ethnicity and self-reported occurrence of falls, fear of falling and the occurrence of near-falls, functional limitation and medium risk falls by reduced mobility, increased frequency of falls for elderly blacks.
