Resumo: | AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of depressive symptoms and factors associated in the elderly of the city of Pelotas, southern Brazil. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, the variables of interest were investigated with instruments about the socio-economic profile, aspects of physical and professional activities, eating and sleeping habits. RESULTS: 312 elderly people were interviewed, with a prevalence of depressive symptoms of 30.5%. A higher prevalence of depressive symptoms were found in women, individuals older than 81 years, from the low class, living alone, physically inactive, and retired. In the adjusted analysis, the non-practice of physical activity, low sleep quality, and daily sleeping medication were statistically associated with the outcome. In contradiction to the literature, our results refute the well-established gender roles that preconize that males are more affected by physical impairment, while the females are more affected by psychological and psychiatric disorders. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, it is important to identify the prevalence of depressive symptoms in a population commonly affected by other diseases. In addition, characteristics associated with depression were detected, which can help prevent or improve depression in this age group. |

MÉTODOS: En este estudio transversal, las variables de interés fueron investigadas con instrumentos sobre perfil socioeconómico, aspectos de las actividades físicas y profesionales, hábitos alimentarios y de sueño.RESULTADOS: Fueron entrevistados 312 ancianos, con prevalencia de síntomas depresivos del 30,5%. Una mayor prevalencia de síntomas depresivos fue encontrada en mujeres, de más de 81 años, de clase baja, viviendo solos, físicamente inactivos y jubilados. En el análisis ajustado, la nula práctica de actividad física, la baja calidad del sueño y la medicación diaria para dormir fueron estadísticamente asociadas al desenlace. En contradicción con la literatura, nuestros resultados refutan papeles de género bien establecidos que preconizan que los hombres son más afectados por el compromiso físico, mientras que las mujeres son más afectadas por disturbios psicológicos y psiquiátricos. CONCLUSIONES: En conclusión, es importante identificar la prevalencia de síntomas depresivos en una población comúnmente afectada por otras enfermedades. Además, las características asociadas a la depresión se han detectado, lo que puede ayudar a prevenir o mejorar la depresión en este grupo de edad.AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of depressive symptoms and factors associated in the elderly of the city of Pelotas, southern Brazil.

MÉTODOS: Neste estudo transversal, as variáveis de interesse foram investigadas com instrumentos sobre perfil socioeconômico, aspectos das atividades físicas e profissionais, hábitos alimentares e de sono. RESULTADOS: Foram entrevistados 312 idosos, com prevalência de sintomas depressivos de 30,5%. Uma maior prevalência de sintomas depressivos foi encontrada em mulheres, com mais de 81 anos, de baixa classe, vivendo sozinhos, fisicamente inativos e aposentados. Na análise ajustada, a não prática de atividade física, a baixa qualidade do sono e a medicação diária para dormir foram estatisticamente associadas ao desfecho. Em contradição com a literatura, nossos resultados refutam papéis de gênero bem estabelecidos que preconizam que os homens são mais afetados pelo comprometimento físico, enquanto as mulheres são mais afetadas por distúrbios psicológicos e psiquiátricos. CONCLUSÕES: Em conclusão, é importante identificar a prevalência de sintomas depressivos em uma população comumente afetada por outras doenças. Além disso, características associadas à depressão foram detectadas, o que pode ajudar a prevenir ou melhorar a depressão nessa faixa etária.
