0078/2016 - Qualidade de vida e fatores associados em idosos de um Centro de Referência à Pessoa Idosa Quality of life and associated factors in elderly people at a Reference Center
Estudos têm avaliado qualidade de vida (QV) em grupos diversos, entretanto, relatos em usuários de Centro de Referência à Pessoa Idosa são escassos. A pesquisa visou identificar fatores associados à boa QV de idosos de um Centro de Referência, Belo Horizonte, MG. Estudo transversal com 257 idosos, usuários do Centro de Referência. Adotou-se o instrumento World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment versão breve (WHOQOL-bref) para avaliação da QV dos idosos. A análise foi racionalizada por meio da definição de dois grupos em relação à percepção da QV e satisfação com a saúde. Análise de regressão logística foi realizada para avaliar a direção e magnitude das associações de cada variável independente com a QV. Os resultados mostraram que a maioria (63,4%) dos idosos consideravam sua QV boa e encontravam-se satisfeitos com sua saúde. O domínio ambiental obteve pior escore (média = 14,4). Idade avançada, ser natural do interior de MG, atividade física, diabetes mellitus, doenças osteomusculares, hipertensão arterial e depressão permaneceram independentemente associados à QV e satisfação com a saúde após ajuste do modelo. Os dados obtidos permitem orientar estratégias de cuidado aos idosos mais vulneráveis, com especial atenção às questões que interferem no meio ambiente.
