Resumo: | A frequent occurrence in demencial processes is the decline of functional capacity of individuals. Thus, it is important to know how variables influence it, searching for aids on the implementation of way to prolong individual’s autonomy and retard the progression of dementia. The objective of the study was to investigate the influence of socio-demographic and health variables on instrumental activities of daily living (IADL’s) performance. The sample included 394 elderly people from community drawn from the project “Dementia Prevalence in Elderly Population of Juiz de Fora”. An interview assessing socio-demographic and health variables was carried out and functional capacity was assessed by the Lawton Scale. Descriptive analysis were performed and Bivariate Correlations. In this sample, age ranged from 60 to 98 years (71.01 + 8.05) and 69.5% (274/394) were females. The average of schooling was 6 years and 10 months (S.D=4.52). The mean score on the Lawton Scale was 22.32 (S.D=2.97). The performance on IADL’s showed significant correlations with age, schooling, number of disease and number of medicines used, besides state of health perception. Few studies have been designed with the aim of identify factors that interfere with IADL’s. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain more data on representative samples from the community. |

Assim, torna-se importante conhecer as variáveis que exercem influência sobre ela, buscando auxiliar na implementação de meios para prolongar a autonomia e retardar a progressão das demências. O objetivo do estudo foi investigar a influência de variáveis sócio-demográficas e de saúde no desempenho de atividades instrumentais de vida diária (AIVD’s) de idosos. A amostra foi composta por 394 idosos da comunidade, participantes do projeto “Prevalência de Demência em Idosos da cidade de Juiz de Fora”. Os aspectos sócio-demográficos e de saúde foram obtidos a partir de uma entrevista semi-estruturada e a capacidade funcional foi investigada a partir da Escala de Lawton. Foram realizadas análises descritivas e correlação bivariada. A idade variou entre 60 e 98 anos (71,01 + 8,05) e 69,5% (274/394) eram do sexo feminino. A média de escolaridade foi de 6 anos e 10 meses (DP=4,52). A pontuação média obtida na escala de Lawton foi de 22,32 (DP=2,97). O desempenho nas AIVD’s apresentou correlação significativa com a idade, a escolaridade, a quantidade de doenças e de medicamentos utilizados, além da percepção dos estados de saúde. Poucos estudos foram delineados com a finalidade de identificar fatores que interferem nas AIVD’s. Por isso, torna-se necessário obter mais dados coletados em amostras representativas da comunidade.Editora UFJF2008-01-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtOrtext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/68HU Revista; v. 33 n. 4 (2007); 105-1111982-80470103-3123reponame:HU Revista (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)instacron:UFJFporhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/68/31https://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/article/view/68/50Guedes, Danielle ViveirosSilva, Kelly Cristina AtalaiaBanhato, Eliane Ferreira CarvalhoElia da Mota, Márcia Maria Peruzziinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-05-04T03:53:15Zoai:periodicos.ufjf.br:article/68Revistahttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevistaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufjf.br/index.php/hurevista/oairevista.hurevista@ufjf.edu.br1982-80470103-3123opendoar:2023-05-04T03:53:15HU Revista (Online) - Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF)false |
