ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Studies have shown an association between the clinical severity of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and sociodemographic and clinical variables in older adults. However, few studies have described the explanatory factors of the relationship between these variables and the clinical severity of COVID-19 using structural equation modeling. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the factors directly and indirectly associated with the clinical severity of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) among older adults in Minas Gerais, Brazil. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective epidemiological study. METHODS: This study included 51,141 elderly adults with COVID-19 living in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data were collected through the Individual Registration Form – Hospitalized Cases of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome from January 28, 2020, to January 27, 2022. RESULTS: Older age (P < 0.001), male sex (P < 0.001), dyspnea (P < 0.001), change in chest X-ray examination findings (P < 0.001), greater number of risk factors/comorbidities (P < 0.001), and longer hospitalization time (P < 0.001) were directly associated with the clinical severity of COVID-19. Female sex, mediated by the greater number of risk/comorbidity factors (β = -0.02, P < 0.001), and younger age, mediated by longer hospitalization time (β = -0.01; P < 0.001), were indirectly associated with the clinical severity of COVID-19. CONCLUSION: Demographic and clinical variables were directly associated with increased disease severity. In addition to the direct effect, a greater number of risk/comorbidity factors and longer hospitalization time mediated the association between demographic variables and outcomes.

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.

Método estudo quantitativo e descritivo realizado com dados sociodemográficos, clínicos, epidemiológicos e de atendimento, do Banco de Dados de Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave - incluindo dados da covid-19. Foram consideradas 102.029 internações por covid-19 em pessoas idosas Resultados em 196 dos 853 municípios de Minas Gerais, a incidência foi elevada (3.098 a 8.916 casos por 100.000 habitantes). Houve predomínio de internações em pessoas idosas do sexo masculino (50,7%), entre 60├70 anos (39,0%), pardas (41,6%), com 1ª a 5ª série (17,6%) e que apresentavam fatores de risco/comorbidade (54,0%), dispneia e saturação de oxigênio <95% (72,8%, cada). Referente aos dados de atendimento, uma parcela necessitou de internação em UTI (34,0%), suporte ventilatório não invasivo (54,1%) e apresentou Raio-X com infiltrado intersticial (20,4%). Embora a cura tenha sido o desfecho mais frequente (55,6%), destaca-se que 41,8% das pessoas idosas foram a óbito. Conclusão o estudo mostrou que existem áreas de Minas Gerais com maior número de casos, que precisam ser monitoradas, fornecendo ênfase na atenção aos subgrupos de pessoas idosas do sexo masculino, mais jovens, pardas, com menor escolaridade e fatores de risco/comorbidades, além daqueles com sinais e sintomas indicativos de gravidade clínica.

RESUMO Objetivos: Avaliar a confiabilidade, viabilidade, usabilidade e a utilidade dos indicadores de qualidade da assistência ao idoso na Atenção Primária à Saúde e descrever a qualidade da assistência de enfermagem ao idoso nesse nível de atenção. Material e Métodos: Estudo transversal, com abordagem quantitativa, desenvolvido em uma Estratégia de Saúde da Família de um município no interior de Minas Gerais. A população do estudo foi composta pelos profissionais de enfermagem (indicadores coletados por meio de entrevista), prontuários de idosos (indicadores coletados por meio de supervisão), gestores municipais da secretaria de saúde (avaliação da utilidade e usabilidade) e avaliador de campo (avaliação da confiabilidade e viabilidade/disponibilidade). Utilizaram-se 22 indicadores (5 gerenciais e 17 relacionados ao cuidado de enfermagem), disponíveis on-line no Harvard Dataverse. Foram utilizadas análise descritiva por meio de frequências absolutas e percentuais. A confiabilidade dos dados foi mensurada por análise de concordância entre as coletas por meio do índice Kappa. A viabilidade de coleta dos dados foi dada em escala de um a nove, quanto maior melhor a viabilidade; para utilidade e usabilidade foi utilizada escala variando de 1 ponto (não recomendado), a 9 pontos (altamente recomendado). Resultados: A confiabilidade dos indicadores mensurados por meio de entrevistas e análise dos prontuários obteve 100% de respostas concordantes, sendo considerada substancial. Sobre a viabilidade sete indicadores não estavam disponíveis e dentre estes dois foram considerados inviáveis; a utilidade e usabilidade obtiveram avaliação positiva; observou-se baixo percentual de cumprimento dos indicadores, demonstrando baixa qualidade da assistência de enfermagem prestada ao idoso. Conclusões: Os resultados apontaram confiabilidade substancial na coleta, viabilidade na maioria dos indicadores, utilidade e usabilidade com avaliação positiva e baixo percentual de cumprimento dos indicadores.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To evaluate the reliability, feasibility, usability and usefulness of the indicators of quality of care for the elderly in primary health care, and to describe the quality of nursing care for the elderly. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, developed in the context of the Family Health Strategy program in a municipality of the State of Minas Gerais. The study population consisted of nursing professionals (indicators collected through interviews), elderly medical records (indicators collected through supervision), managers of municipal health departments (assessment of usefulness and usability) and field evaluators (assessment reliability and feasibility/availability). 22 indicators (5 managerial and 17 related to nursing care), available online at the Harvard Dataverse repository, were used. Descriptive analysis was used through absolute and percentage frequencies. Reliability was measured by concordance analysis between the collected data using the Kappa index. Feasibility was measured on a scale of one to nine: the higher the better the feasibility; for usefulness and usability a scale ranging from 1 point (not recommended) to 9 points (highly recommended) was used. Results: The reliability of the indicators, measured through interviews and analysis of medical records, showed 100% of concordant responses, so that it was considered relevant. Seven indicators were not available and, among these, two were considered unfeasible: usefulness and usability had a positive evaluation; there was a low percentage of compliance with the indicators, which shows low quality of nursing care provided to the elderly. Conclusions: The results showed substantial reliability in the collection, feasibility in most of the indicators, usefulness and usability with positive evaluation and low percentage of compliance with the indicators.

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.

ABSTRACT Objective: to map the scientific knowledge about COVID-19 in older adults. Method: this is a scoping review literature review. A search was performed in the PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science and LILACS databases. Original articles that answered the guiding question were included: what scientific knowledge is available in the world about COVID-19 in older adults? Results: thirty-one articles were included, most of them carried out in China (n=23) and with a retrospective design (n=13) and case studies/case series (n=13). Based on the findings, six thematic categories emerged: clinical signs and symptoms (n=12), other information (n=9), adverse outcomes/complications resulting from COVID-19 (n=8), age relationship and greater severity of COVID-19 (n=8), variables related to death by COVID-19 (n=8), and diagnostic findings (n=8). Conclusion: the findings reinforce older adults’ greater vulnerability to the worsening of COVID-19, as well as to complications resulting from the disease, including the greater occurrence of death.

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.
