Abstract Objective: To identify the prevalence, severity, hypersensitivity, and distribution of Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL) among university students in Brazil. Material and Methods: 179 participants answered an anamnesis with twenty questions about the presence or absence of habits associated with NCCL. The participants' teeth were evaluated to identify the presence or absence of the lesion, its classification, involved surfaces, severity, hypersensitivity, and tooth wear index. A hypersensitivity test was performed with ice water. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and simple logistic regression (p<0.01). Results: 179 participants answered an anamnesis with twenty questions about the presence or absence of habits associated with NCCL. The participants' teeth were evaluated to identify the presence or absence of the lesion, its classification, involved surfaces, severity, hypersensitivity, and tooth wear index. A hypersensitivity test was performed with ice water. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and simple logistic regression (p<0.01). Conclusion: The prevalence of NCCL was 15.1% and abfraction was the most frequent lesion. Premolars were the teeth most affected by non-carious cervical lesions.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Although studies have examined the relationship between variables associated with active aging and quality of life (QoL), no studies have been identified to have investigated the effect of a structural model of active aging on QoL in a representative sample of older people in the community. OBJECTIVE: To measure the domains and facets of QoL in older people and identify the effect of the structural model of active aging on the self-assessment of QoL. DESIGN AND SETTING: This cross-sectional analytical study included 957 older people living in urban areas. Data were collected from households using validated instruments between March and June 2018. Descriptive, confirmatory factor, and structural equation modeling analyses were performed. RESULTS: Most older people self-rated their QoL as good (58.7%), and the highest mean scores were for the social relationships domain (70.12 ± 15.4) and the death and dying facet (75.43 ± 26.7). In contrast, the lowest mean scores were for the physical domains (64.41 ± 17.1) and social participation (67.20 ± 16.2) facets. It was found that active aging explained 50% of the variation in self-assessed QoL and directly and positively affected this outcome (λ = 0.70; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Active aging had a direct and positive effect on the self-assessment of QoL, indicating that the more individuals actively aged, the better the self-assessment of QoL.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Increased longevity is accompanied by new social and health demands, such as the race/color social construct, indicating the need to identify the specific needs of older adults to maintain and improve their quality of life. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to verify the direct and indirect associations of demographic, economic, and biopsychosocial characteristics with self-assessed quality of life in older adults according to race/color. DESIGN AND SETTING: This cross-sectional study included 941 older adults living in the urban area of a health microregion in Minas Gerais, Brazil. METHODS: Older adults were divided into three groups: white (n = 585), brown (n = 238), and black (n = 102) race/color. Descriptive and trajectory analyses were performed (P < 0.05). RESULTS: Among the three groups, worse self-assessed quality of life was directly associated with lower social support scores and greater numbers of depressive symptoms. Worse self-assessed quality of life was also directly associated with a higher number of functional disabilities in basic activities of daily living and the absence of a partner among older adults of brown and black race/color. Lower monthly income and higher numbers of morbidities and compromised components of the frailty phenotype were observed among participants of white race/color, as well as lower levels of education in the brown race/color group. CONCLUSION: Factors associated with poorer self-assessed quality of life among older adults in the study community differed according to race/color.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Obesity is a risk factor for falls in older adults, but the effects of body fat distribution and its interaction with other factors are not well established. OBJECTIVES: To verify the occurrence of falls among older adults with and without abdominal obesity and the effects of sociodemographic, health, and behavioral variables on this outcome. DESIGN AND SETTING: A cross-sectional study in an urban area of Alcobaça, Brazil. METHODS: Men and women older than 60 years with (270) and without (184) abdominal obesity were included. Sociodemographic, health, and behavioral data were collected using validated questionnaires in Brazil. Descriptive and path analyses were performed (P < 0.05). RESULTS: The occurrence of falls was high in participants with abdominal obesity (33.0%). In both groups, a higher number of morbidities (β = 0.25, P < 0.001; β = 0.26, P = 0.002) was directly associated with a higher occurrence of falls. Among participants without abdominal obesity, a lower number of medications (β = -0.16; P = 0.04), a higher number of depressive symptoms (β = 0.15; P = 0.04), worse performance on the agility and dynamic balance tests (β = 0.37; P < 0.001), and lower functional disability for basic activities of daily living (β = -0.21; P = 0.006) were directly associated with the occurrence of falls. CONCLUSION: Adults older than 60 years with abdominal obesity have a higher prevalence of falls. Different factors were associated with the occurrence of falls in both groups.

Abstract Objective To characterize hospitalizations for covid-19 among aged individuals residing in Minas Gerais, Brazil, from March 2020 to March 2022, with a focus on geographical distribution, sociodemographic, clinical, epidemiological, and care data. Method This quantitative and descriptive study used sociodemographic, clinical, epidemiological, and care data from the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Database, including covid-19-related data. A total of 102,029 hospitalizations of aged individuals for covid-19 were analyzed for descriptive purposes and mapping the incidence by municipality and macro-region. Results High incidence was observed in 196 of the 853 municipalities in Minas Gerais, ranging from 3,098 to 8,916 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Hospitalizations were predominantly male (50.7%), aged 60-70 years (39.0%), of mixed race (41.6%), with 1st to 5th grade education (17.6%), and presenting risk factors or comorbidities (54.0%). Common symptoms included dyspnea and oxygen saturation below 95% (72.8% each). Regarding care data, a portion of patients required intensive care unit admission (34.0%), non-invasive ventilatory support (54.1%), and presented interstitial infiltrates in chest X-rays (20.4%). Although most cases resulted in recovery (55.6%), it is noteworthy that 41.8% of hospitalized aged individuals died. Conclusion This study highlights the existence of areas in Minas Gerais with a higher incidence of covid-19 cases that require ongoing monitoring, with a focus on the care of subgroups of aged individuals who are male, younger, of mixed race, have lower educational attainment, and have risk factors or comorbidities. Additionally, special attention is needed for aged individuals with signs and symptoms indicative of clinical severity. covid19 covid 19 covid-1 Brazil 202 2022 distribution sociodemographic epidemiological Database covid19related covidrelated related 102029 102 029 102,02 macroregion. macroregion macro region. region macro-region 85 3098 3 098 3,09 8916 8 916 8,91 100000 100 000 100,00 inhabitants 50.7%, 507 50.7% , 50 7 (50.7%) 6070 60 70 60-7 39.0%, 390 39.0% 39 0 (39.0%) 41.6%, 416 41.6% 41 6 (41.6%) st th 17.6%, 176 17.6% 17 (17.6%) 54.0%. 540 54.0% . 54 (54.0%) 95 72.8% 728 72 (72.8 each. each each) 34.0%, 340 34.0% 34 (34.0%) noninvasive non invasive 54.1%, 541 54.1% 1 (54.1%) Xrays X rays 20.4%. 204 20.4% 20 4 (20.4%) 55.6%, 556 55.6% 55 (55.6%) 418 41.8 died monitoring younger attainment Additionally severity covid1 covid- 10202 10 02 102,0 309 09 3,0 891 91 8,9 10000 00 100,0 50.7 5 (50.7% 607 60- 39.0 (39.0% 41.6 (41.6% 17.6 (17.6% 54.0 (54.0% 9 72.8 (72. 34.0 (34.0% 54.1 (54.1% 20.4 2 (20.4% 55.6 (55.6% 41. 1020 102, 30 3, 89 8, 1000 100, 50.

RESUMO Objetivos: analisar os fatores associados, direta e indiretamente, ao menor apoio social de idosos, segundo o sexo. Métodos: estudo transversal, com 941 idosos de uma microrregião de saúde de Minas Gerais. Realizaram-se análises descritiva e de trajetórias (p<0,05). Resultados: observaram-se, nos grupos de mulheres e homens, associações diretas e significativas entre menor rede social (p<0,001;p<0,001), moradia unipessoal (p=0,046;p<0,001), maior número de sintomas depressivos (p<0,001;p=0,010) e menor participação nas atividades avançadas (p<0,001;p=0,005) com menor apoio social, respectivamente. Nas mulheres, a menor idade se associou direta e significativamente ao desfecho (p<0,001). Nos homens, a maior idade, mediada pela menor participação nas atividades avançadas, associou-se indiretamente ao desfecho. Conclusões: os homens e mulheres apresentaram menor apoio social associado à rede social, arranjo de moradia, sintomatologia depressiva e participação nas atividades avançadas. A compreensão do contexto do apoio social entre idosos possibilita o estabelecimento de medidas mais eficazes na melhoria do cuidado.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze factors associated, directly and indirectly, with lower social support of older adults, according to sex. Methods: a cross-sectional study, with 941 older adults from a health micro-region in Minas Gerais. Descriptive and trajectory analyzes were carried out (p<0.05). Results: in groups of women and men, direct and significant associations were observed between a smaller social network (p<0.001;p<0.001), single-person housing (p=0.046;p<0.001), greater number of depressive symptoms (p<0.001;p=0.010) and lower participation in advanced activities (p<0.001;p=0.005) with lower social support. In women, younger age was directly and significantly associated with outcome (p<0.001). In men, older age, mediated by lower participation in advanced activities, was indirectly associated with outcome. Conclusions: men and women showed less social support associated with social network, housing arrangement, depressive symptoms and participation in advanced activities. Understanding the context of social support among older adults makes it possible to establish more effective measures to improve care.

Abstract Objective to identify frailty conditions and their associated factors among oldest old individuals living in the urban area of a health macro-region of Minas Gerais state. Methods a cross-sectional study of 314 oldest old from a health macro-region in Minas Gerais state, Brazil, was conducted. Data were collected from households by applying instruments validated for use in Brazil. Descriptive and multinomial logistic regression analyses (p<0.05) were carried out. Results In the sample assessed, 44.3% of the oldest old were frail, 44.3% pre-frail and 11.4% non-frail. The pre-frail condition was associated with living alone (p=0.047) and very poor/poor physical performance (p=0.026), while frailty was associated with very poor/poor physical performance (p<0.001), the presence of depressive symptomatology (p=0.029) and of ≥5 morbidities (p=0.003). Conclusion pre-frail and frail conditions predominated among the oldest old assessed.

RESUMO Objetivo: to analyze the social support network, the activities performed, and the factors associated with the presence of negative feelings of aged individuals who live alone during social distancing due to COVID-19. Método: a cross-sectional study conducted with 119 aged individuals who live alone in the Macro-region of Triângulo Sul, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The data were collected at the homes and with instruments validated in the country. Descriptive and multiple binary regression analyses were performed (p<0.05). Resultados: 97.5% had a social support network for health needs and for maintaining social distancing (79.8%). The activity most frequently performed was household chores (77.3%). The presence of negative feelings was associated with the female gender (p<0.001) and with fewer activities (p=0.012). Conclusão: the data contribute to the development of health actions, revealing situations in the daily life of aged individuals that are exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as aspects related to the negative feelings experienced by aged individuals who live alone.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the sociodemographic profile of interpersonal violence associated with alcohol consumption in São Paulo-SP, Brazil. Method: a cross-sectional study carried out through notifications of suspected or confirmed cases of interpersonal violence from the Notifiable Diseases Information System submitted between 2016 and 2019. Collection took place between March and June 2020. Chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests were performed in the statistical analysis. Results: 27,775 notifications were obtained, whose prevalent profile was female victims (60.6%), aged between 20 and 34 years old (41.4%), brown- or black-skinned (51%), and with complete high school (18.8%). Physical violence was more frequent (81.9%), perpetrated by an intimate partner (20.3%), motivated by sexism (9.9%) and generational conflict (11.2%).

Abstract BACKGROUND: Obesity is a risk factor for falls in older adults, but the effects of body fat distribution and its interaction with other factors are not well established. OBJECTIVES: To verify the occurrence of falls among older adults with and without abdominal obesity and the effects of sociodemographic, health, and behavioral variables on this outcome. DESIGN AND SETTING: A cross-sectional study in an urban area of Alcobaça, Brazil. METHODS: Men and women older than 60 years with (270) and without (184) abdominal obesity were included. Sociodemographic, health, and behavioral data were collected using validated questionnaires in Brazil. Descriptive and path analyses were performed (P < 0.05). RESULTS: The occurrence of falls was high in participants with abdominal obesity (33.0%). In both groups, a higher number of morbidities (β = 0.25, P < 0.001; β = 0.26, P = 0.002) was directly associated with a higher occurrence of falls. Among participants without abdominal obesity, a lower number of medications (β = -0.16; P = 0.04), a higher number of depressive symptoms (β = 0.15; P = 0.04), worse performance on the agility and dynamic balance tests (β = 0.37; P < 0.001), and lower functional disability for basic activities of daily living (β = -0.21; P = 0.006) were directly associated with the occurrence of falls. CONCLUSION: Adults older than 60 years with abdominal obesity have a higher prevalence of falls. Different factors were associated with the occurrence of falls in both groups.

RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever as caracteristicas sociodemograficas, a capacidade funcional e a situacao vacinal de idosos, e verificar os fatores associados a situacao vacinal incompleta e a ausencia do cartao de vacinas. Método: Estudo transversal e analitico conduzido com idosos residentes na zona urbana de Uberaba (MG). Procedeu-se as analises descritiva, bivariada e regressao logistica multinomial (p<0,05). Resultados: Participaram 576 idosos. Predominaram os idosos do sexo feminino, na faixa etaria de 70├80 anos, com companheiro, baixa escolaridade e renda, que moravam acompanhados, independentes nas atividades basicas da vida diaria e com dependencia parcial nas atividades instrumentais. O maior percentual foi para os idosos que possuiam situacao vacinal incompleta, sobretudo em relacao a ausencia da imunizacao para Hepatite B. Foram associados a situacao vacinal incompleta a renda individual mensal ≤ 1 salario minimo (p=0,002) e o arranjo de moradia unipessoal (p=0,010); e a ausencia do cartao de vacinas, a menor escolaridade (p=0,039). Conclusão: As baixas renda e escolaridade, bem como residir sozinho, sao fatores associados as situacoes vacinais inadequadas dos idosos da comunidade. Ressalta-se a necessidade de que o enfermeiro da atencao primaria desenvolva estrategias para aumentar a cobertura vacinal entre os idosos com essas caracteristicas.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the sociodemographic characteristics, functional capacity and vaccination status of older adults, and to verify the factors associated with the incomplete vaccination status and the absence of the vaccination card. Method: Cross-sectional and analytical study conducted with older adults living in the city of Uberaba (MG). The following analyzes were carried out: descriptive, bivariate and multinomial logistic regression (p<0.05). Results: A total of 576 older adults participated. Most of them were women, in the 70-80 age group, with partner, low education and income, living with someone, independent in basic activities of daily living and with partial dependence on instrumental activities. The highest percentage was for older adults who had incomplete vaccination status, especially regarding the absence of immunization for Hepatitis B. Individual monthly income < 1 minimum wage (p=0.002) and single-person housing arrangement (p=0.010) were associated with the incomplete vaccination status, and the absence of the vaccination card, with the lowest level of education (p=0.039). Conclusion: Low income and education, as well as living alone, are factors associated with inadequate vaccination status among older adults in the community. The need for primary care nurses to develop strategies to increase vaccination coverage among older adults with these characteristics is emphasized.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Describir las caracteristicas sociodemograficas, la capacidad funcional y la situacion vacunal de los adultos mayores y comprobar los factores asociados con la situacion vacunal incompleta y la ausencia del carnet de vacunacion. Método: Se trata de un estudio transversal y analitico llevado a cabo con adultos mayores residentes en el area urbana de Uberaba, Minas Gerais, mediante un analisis descriptivo, bivariado y de regresion logistica multinomial (p<0,05). Resultados: Participaron 576 adultos mayores. Predominaban las mujeres de edad avanzada, 70├80 anos, con pareja, bajo nivel de escolaridad e ingresos, que vivian solas, independientes en las actividades basicas de la vida diaria y parcialmente dependientes de las actividades instrumentales. El porcentaje mas alto correspondia a los adultos mayores que tenian un estado de vacunacion incompleto, especialmente en lo que respecta a la ausencia de inmunizacion contra la hepatitis B. Los ingresos mensuales individuales ≤ 1 salario minimo (p=0,002) y la disposicion de una vivienda unifamiliar (p=0,010) estaban asociados con el estado de vacunacion incompleta, y la ausencia del carnet de vacunacion, con un nivel de escolaridad bajo (p=0,039). Conclusión: Los ingresos bajos y la educacion, asi como el hecho de vivir solo, son factores que estan asociados a un estado de vacunacion inadecuado en adultos mayores de la comunidad. Es importante que el enfermero de atencion primaria desarrolle estrategias para aumentar la cobertura de vacunacion entre los adultos mayores con dichas caracteristicas.

Objetivo: analisar a incapacidade funcional e seus fatores associados entre idosos na comunidade. Método: estudo transversal, com 1.635 idosos distribuídos nas faixas etárias: 60 a 69, 70 a 79 e 80 ou mais, residentes em uma macrorregião de saúde do Estado de Minas Gerais. Procedeu-se à análise descritiva e de trajetórias (p<0,05). Os parâmetros foram estimados pelo método da Máxima Verossimilhança. Resultados: o maior percentual era do sexo feminino, com renda mensal de 1 salário mínimo e morava acompanhado. Nas faixas etárias de 60 a 69 e 70 a 79 anos predominaram os idosos com companheiro, e entre aqueles com 80 anos ou mais os viúvos. Nos três grupos, a incapacidade funcional se deu de forma hierárquica. A menor escolaridade, a fragilidade e a sintomatologia depressiva foram fatores associados diretamente à incapacidade funcional nas atividades avançadas; a fragilidade e o comportamento sedentário associaram-se diretamente à incapacidade funcional nas atividades instrumentais. Nos idosos com idade entre 60 e 69 anos e 70 a 79 anos, o comportamento sedentário associou-se à maior dependência nas atividades básicas. Conclusão: a compreensão ampliada dos fatores atuantes na incapacidade funcional dos idosos, segundo faixa etária, auxilia o profissional de saúde no desenvolvimento de medidas preventivas desse agravo.

Objective: to analyze functional disability and its associated factors among community-dwelling older adults. Method: a cross-sectional study, conducted with 1,635 older adults distributed in the following age groups: 60 to 69, 70 to 79, and 80 years old or more, living in a health macro-region of the state of Minas Gerais. Descriptive and trajectory analysis was carried out (p<0.05). The parameters were estimated by the Maximum Likelihood method. Results: the highest percentage was female, with a monthly income of 1 minimum wage and living with a companion. In the age groups from 60 to 69 and from 70 to 79 years old, older adults with a partner predominated; and, among those aged 80 years old or more, widowed individuals prevailed. In the three groups, functional disability occurred hierarchically. Lower schooling, frailty and depressive symptomatology were factors directly associated with functional disability in the advanced activities; frailty and sedentary behavior were directly associated with functional disability in the instrumental activities. In the older adults aged between 60 and 69 years old and from 70 to 79 years old, sedentary behavior was associated with greater dependence on the basic activities. Conclusion: the expanded understanding of the factors in the functional disability of the older adults, according to age group, helps the health professional in the development of preventive measures for this disease.

En los tres grupos, la incapacidad funcional se presentó de forma jerárquica. Menor educación, fragilidad y síntomas de depresión fueron factores directamente asociados con la incapacidad funcional en actividades avanzadas; la fragilidad y el sedentarismo se asociaron directamente con la incapacidad funcional en las actividades instrumentales. En los adultos mayores de 60 y 69 años y de 70 a 79 años, el sedentarismo se asoció con una mayor dependencia de las actividades básicas. Conclusión: una mayor comprensión de los factores que influyen en la incapacidad funcional del adulto mayor, según el rango etario, ayuda a los profesionales de la salud en el desarrollo de medidas preventivas de esta enfermedad.

RESUMO Objetivos: verificar o acesso e a utilização dos serviços de saúde de idosos comunitários e os fatores associados à utilização dos serviços de saúde. Métodos: estudo transversal, com 1.611 idosos da macrorregião de saúde de Minas Gerais. Os dados foram coletados de março de 2017 a junho de 2018 por meio de instrumentos validados. Procederam-se as análises descritiva e regressão logística múltipla (p<0,05). Resultados: 83,8% procuraram o mesmo serviço ou profissional de saúde; nas duas últimas semanas anteriores à entrevista (20%); consultaram o médico nos últimos 12 meses (87,3%); usavam medicamentos (87,8%); foram ao dentista pela última vez há três anos ou mais (57,7%). A utilização dos serviços de saúde associou-se à condição de pré-fragilidade/fragilidade (p=0,026) e à autopercepção de saúde negativa (p=0,037). Conclusão: os dados denotam a necessidade de ações em saúde para atender às demandas do idoso fragilizado e com autopercepção negativa da saúde.
