0244/2025 - Violência Contra Pessoa Idosa e Autopercepção de Saúde Bucal no Brasil: Uma Análise da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde de 2019 Violence against older adults and self-perceived oral health: Analysis of the Brazilian National Health Survey 2019
O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a associação entre ter sofrido violência psicológica e autopercepção de saúde bucal em pessoas idosas no Brasil. Realizou-se um estudo transversal com 22.123 pessoas idosas participantes da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS) em 2019. O desfecho, autopercepção de saúde bucal, foi avaliado de maneira autorreferida e a violência aferida de acordo com cinco perguntas sobre ter vivenciado algum tipo de violência psicológica nos últimos 12 meses. As variáveis independentes incluíram fatores sociodemográficos, psicossociais, comportamentais e de saúde bucal. Já a variável dependente é autopercepção de saúde bucal. A análise estatística foi estimada pela regressão de Poisson. Observou-se que 10% das pessoas idosas relataram ter sofrido algum tipo de violência psicológica. Os que relataram ter vivenciado situações de gritos e xingamentos (RP 1.20: IC 95% 1.08- 1.33), ameaça verbal (RP 1.17: IC 95% 1.01- 1.34), destruição de seus bens (RP 1.38: IC 95% 1.10- 1.71), ou situações de violência psicológica (RP 1.18: IC 95%1.07- 1.30), apresentaram maior prevalência de autopercepção negativa de saúde bucal quando comparados aos que relataram não ter sofrido episódios de violência. Dada a complexidade dos determinantes de autopercepção de saúde bucal, a violência psicológica adiciona outra dimensão a ser considerada em pessoas idosas.

Abstract:
The objective of the study was to evaluate the association between having suffered psychological violence and self-perceived oral health in Brazilian older adults. A cross-sectional study was carried out with 22,123 older adults participating in the National Health Survey (PNS) in 2019. The outcome, self-perceived oral health, was assessed in a self-reported manner and violence was measured according to five questions about having experienced some type of violence psychological in the last 12 months. Independent variables included sociodemographic, psychosocial, behavioral and oral health factors. Statistical analysis was estimated using Poisson regression. It was observed that 10% of older adults reported having suffered some type of psychological violence. Older adults who reported having experienced situations of shouting and swearing (PR 1.20: 95% CI 1.08- 1.33), verbal threats (PR 1.17: 95% CI 1.01- 1.34), destruction of their property (PR 1.38: 95% CI 1.10- 1.71) or situations of psychological violence (PR 1.18: 95% CI 1.07- 1.30) showed a higher prevalence of negative self-perception of oral health when compared to those who reported not having suffered episodes of violence. Given the complexity of the determinants of self-perceived oral health, psychological violence adds another dimension to be considered in the older adults.
