Resumo: | Introduction: Aging is an inevitable process that has a social impact in the forecoming decades, and it will present a great challenge regarding public health. An efficient health system requires a reflection on the preventive measures to be implemented.Material and Methods: The study population comprised a total number of 2672 individuals of both genders, aged 55 years and over, residents in continental Portugal, to whom a questionnaire was applied that included the following sections: Social network; Locomotion; Physical autonomy; Instrumental autonomy; Cognitive assessment; Physical activity.Results: The study of aging in the Portuguese population found that physical autonomy for tasks related to daily life are associated with better cognitive evaluation. A statistically significant association was found between performance in cognitive assessment and gender, age, schooling, the fact of living alone, the number of hours being alone, autonomy to walk in the street, washing, dressing, eating, preparing meals, doing shopping, managing money and taking medications and washer / treat clothing.Discussion: Cognitive evaluation is negatively influenced by the number of hours that an individual is alone.Conclusion: Activities of daily life must be valued, since they require the ability to plan and carry out tasks and their preservation is a key component in successful aging. |

Um sistema de saúde eficiente requer uma reflexão sobre as medidas preventivas a aplicar.Material e Métodos: A amostra em estudo englobou 2672 indivíduos de ambos os géneros, com idade igual ou superior a 55 anos, residentes em Portugal continental, ao qual foi aplicado um questionário que incluiu as seguintes secções: Rede social; Locomoção; Autonomia física; Autonomia instrumental; Avaliação cognitiva; Atividade física.Resultados: O estudo do perfil de envelhecimento da população Portuguesa revelou que a autonomia física para tarefas relacionadas com o quotidiano, se associam a um melhor desempenho cognitivo. Verificámos uma associação estatisticamente significativa entre o desempenho na avaliação cognitiva e o género, a idade, a escolaridade, o facto de a pessoa viver sozinha, o número de horas que está sozinha, a autonomia a andar na rua, lavar-se, vestir-se, comer, preparar refeições, fazer compras, gerir dinheiro, tomar medicamentos e lavar/tratar a roupa.Discussão: A avaliação cognitiva é influenciada negativamente pelo número de horas que um individuo vive sozinho.Conclusão: As atividades da vida diária devem ser valorizadas, uma vez que requerem capacidade para planear e realizar tarefas e a sua preservação é uma componente chave num envelhecimento de sucesso.Ordem dos Médicos2017-04-28info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7299oai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/7299Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 30 No. 4 (2017): April; 293-301Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 30 N.º 4 (2017): Abril; 293-3011646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporenghttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7299https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7299/5004https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7299/5142https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7299/8989https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7299/9003https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7299/9038https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7299/9039https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7299/9040https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7299/9041https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/7299/9045Direitos de Autor (c) 2017 Acta Médica Portuguesainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Catarina Resende deMota-Pinto, AnabelaRodrigues, VítorAlves, Catarina2022-12-20T11:05:09Zoai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/7299Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:19:26.070877Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
