0093/2015 - Vacinação contra influenza em idosos: dados do FIBRA, Campinas, São Paulo, Brasil Influenza vaccination in elderly: data FIBRA, Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil
A vacina contra Influenza é a principal intervenção preventiva em saúde pública para esta doença. O objetivo do estudo foi verificar a prevalência de vacinação contra Influenza em idosos, segundo indicadores de capacidade funcional, fragilidade, suporte e envolvimento social e estado de saúde. Estudo transversal realizado em Campinas em 2008-2009 (Rede FIBRA, polo Unicamp) com amostra probabilística da população idosa (≥ 65 anos). A variável dependente foi a vacinação contra gripe nos 12 meses que antecederam a pesquisa. As razões de prevalências ajustadas foram estimadas por meio de regressão múltipla de Poisson. Dos 679 idosos, 74,4% referiram vacinação no ano prévio. A prevalência de vacinação foi significativamente maior entre os homens e menor naqueles com maior escolaridade. A lentidão de marcha associou-se positivamente à vacinação, assim como a maioria dos indicadores de envolvimento social. O envolvimento social pode contribuir para uma melhor aderência à vacinação contra Influenza sazonal e deve ser valorizado para a ampliação das coberturas vacinais em Campinas.

Abstract:
The influenza vaccine is the primary preventive public health intervention for this disease. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of influenza vaccination in the elderly, according to indicators of functional capacity, fragility, support and social involvement and health status. Cross-sectional study conducted in 2008-2009 in Campinas (Part of FIBRA, Unicamp) with probability sample of elderly (≥ 65 years). The dependent variable was the flu vaccination in the 12 months preceding the survey. The adjusted prevalence ratios were estimated using multivariate Poisson regression. Of the 679 elderly, 74.4% reported vaccination in the previous year. The prevalence of vaccination was significantly higher among men and lower among those with higher education. The slowness of the march was positively associated with vaccination, as well as most of the indicators of social involvement. The social engagement can contribute to better adherence to vaccination against seasonal influenza and should be valued for the expansion of vaccine coverage in Campinas.
