Resumo: This study aims to examine the relationship between neighborhood characteristics and the functional performance of elderly people living in the Belo Horizonte metropolitan area, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Data of a representative sample of 2,033 elderly were analyzed using quantile regression. Functional performance was measured by the number of activities of daily living (ADL) the elderly had difficulty to perform. The neighborhood characteristics evaluated were: maintenance, trust, insecurity and defective sidewalks. Functional performance was found positively associated with the characteristic defective sidewalks, whose effect increased as the number of ADL the elderly had difficulty to perform increased. The results suggest that inadequate sidewalk conditions can contribute to functional losses in elderly people, especially among those who are functionally more compromised.

Datos de una muestra representativa de 2,033 personas mayores fueron analizados utilizando regresión cuantílica. El desempeño funcional se midió por el número de actividades de la vida diaria (AVD) que las personas mayores tuvieron dificultad para ejecutar. Las características del vecindario fueron: mantenimiento, confianza, inseguridad y aceras defectuosas. El desempeño funcional fue encontrado asociado positivamente con la característica aceras defectuosas, cuyo efecto aumentó a medida que el número de AVD que las personas mayores tuvieron dificultad para ejecutar aumentó. Los resultados sugieren que condiciones inadecuadas de aceras pueden contribuir para pérdidas funcionales en personas mayores, especialmente entre aquellos que son funcionalmente más comprometidos.Este estudo pretende examinar a relação entre características da vizinhança e o desempenho funcional de pessoas idosas que vivem na região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte, Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil.

O desempenho funcional foi medido pelo número de atividades da vida diária (AVD) que os idosos tiveram dificuldade para executar. As características da vizinhança avaliadas foram: manutenção, confiança, insegurança e passeios defeituosos. O desempenho funcional foi encontrado associado positivamente com a característica passeios defeituosos, cujo efeito aumentou à medida que o número de AVD que os idosos tiveram dificuldades para executar aumentou. Os resultados sugerem que condições inadequadas de passeios podem contribuir para perdas funcionais em pessoas idosas, especialmente entre aqueles que são funcionalmente mais comprometidos.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2016-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/6266Reports in Public Health; Vol. 32 No. 11 (2016): NovemberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 32 n. 11 (2016): Novembro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/6266/13306https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/6266/13307Renzo Joel Flores OrtizFabiane Ribeiro FerreiraMaria Fernanda Lima-CostaCibele Comini Césarinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:29:12Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/6266Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:07:10.121519Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
