Resumo: | Objective: To evaluate the cognitive performance of non-demented elderly and its relation to sociodemographic, clinical and biochemical variables. Methods: 71 subjects (≥ 60 years) were studied. Sociodemographic data were collected in interviews; MMEM was used to assess cognition, the clinical variables were taken from the patient's medical record, and biochemical measurements were taken through blood tests which measured serum levels of vitamin B12, TSH and CRP. Results: Most of the subjects were women, older than 80 years old, with education between 1 and 4 years. Most of them had no diagnosis of diabetesmellitus, dyslipidemia, thyroid dysfunction or osteoporosis, and had their blood levels within the normal range; hypertension was present in 81% of patients. The average MMSE showed significant relation to gender, education and dyslipidemia; the presence of this diagnosis was related to better cognitive performance. Conclusion: This study suggests that elderly monitored by specialized health service can receive treatment for managing symptoms of morbidity and comorbidities, controlling, among others, cardiovascular riskfactors, thus protecting them from suffering cognitive loss. |

Objetivo: Avaliar o desempenho cognitivo de idosos em atendimento ambulatorial, não demenciados e a relação deste com variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas e bioquímicas. Metodologia: Foram estudados 71 sujeitos (≥ 60 anos). Dados sociodemográficos foram coletados através de entrevista; para avaliar a cognição utilizou-se o MEEM, as variáveis clínicas foram coletadas do prontuário médico do paciente e as medidas bioquímicas através de exame de sangue que dosou níveis séricos de vitamina B12, TSH e PCR. Resultados: A maior parte dos sujeitos eram mulheres, com mais de 80 anos e escolaridade entre 1 e 4 anos. A maioria não tinha diagnóstico de diabete melito, dislipidemia, disfunção tireoidiana, osteoporose e estavam com seus níveis séricos dentro da normalidade; hipertensão arterial esteve presente em 81% dos pacientes. A média do MEEM mostrou relação significativa comgênero, escolaridade e dislipidemia, a presença deste diagnóstico foi relacionada com melhor desempenho cognitivo. Conclusão: Este estudo sugere queidosos acompanhados em serviço de saúde especializado podem receber tratamento e assim monitorar os sintomas das morbidades e comorbidades,controlando, entre outros, os fatores de risco cardiovascular, protegendo-os assim de sofrerem perda cognitiva.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2016-08-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/pajar/article/view/2315910.15448/2357-9641.2016.1.23159PAJAR - Pan American Journal of Aging Research; Vol. 4 No. 1 (2016); 5-11PAJAR - Pan-American Journal of Aging Research; Vol. 4 Núm. 1 (2016); 5-11PAJAR - Pan-American Journal of Aging Research; v. 4 n. 1 (2016); 5-112357-964110.15448/2357-9641.2016.1reponame:PAJAR - Pan American Journal of Aging Researchinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUCRSenghttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/pajar/article/view/23159/14733Copyright (c) 2016 PAJAR - Pan-American Journal of Aging Researchinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBueno, Denise Ribeiro StortBelintani, Daniele CliniBorim, Flavia Silva ArbexGuariento, Maria Elena2016-08-29T21:28:34Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/23159Revistahttp://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/pajar/about/editorialTeamPRIhttp://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/pajar/oaicataldo@pucrs.br||pajar@pucrs.br2357-96412357-9641opendoar:2016-08-29T21:28:34PAJAR - Pan American Journal of Aging Research - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false |
