Resumo: | Objective: To describe the morbidity and mortality profiles of violence against older people. Methods: This is a descriptive and retrospective study of 14,900 reports made to the Notifiable Disease Information System and 18,228 reports to the Mortality Information System from 2012 to 2017 in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Reports of violence were analyzed considering characteristics of the victim (sex, age group, race/color and education) and violence (place of occurrence, type of violence, characteristics of the perpetrator) and death-related variables (sex, age group, race/color, marital status, place of occurrence and cause of death). Results: 54.5% (8,116) of the reports referred to women, 42.8% (6,384) to white victims and 47.6% (7,082) to victims who were either illiterate or had not completed primary education. Physical violence accounted for 69.5% (10,356) of the cases and children were the main perpetrators, representing 26.4% (3,928) of the cases. 60.9% (11,096) of the reports of death from external causes referred to men, 37.4% (6,815) to people over 80 years old, 54.9% (10,011) to white people and 37.7% (6,867) to married people. The hospital was the place where most of the deaths occurred, representing 64% (11,664) of the cases. Deaths from other external causes were: 42.5% (7,741), with falls accounting for 32.4% (5,897) of the total. Conclusion: The main victims were older women with poor education and who experienced physical violence perpetrated by the child. However, deaths were more common among older men and were mainly caused by falls and other transport accidents. |

Métodos: Se trata de un estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo de 14.900 notificaciones del Sistema de Información de Agravios de Notificación (SINAN) y de 18.228 casos del Sistema de Información de Mortalidad (SIM) entre 2012 y 2017 en el estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Se analizaron las notificaciones de violencia según las características de las victimas (sexo, franja de edad, raza/color y escolaridad), de la ocurrencia (local, tipo de violencia, características del agresor) y las variables del óbito (sexo, franja de edad, raza/color, estado civil, local de ocurrencia y causa del óbito). Resultados: De entre las notificaciones analizadas el 54,5% (8.116) de las víctimas eran mujeres, el 42,8% eran (6.384) blancos y el 47,6% (7.082) tenían educación primaria incompleta/analfabeto. La violencia física se dio en el 69,5% (10.356) de los casos y el hijo tiene el perfil de agresor en el 26,4% (3.928) de ellos. Respecto los óbitos de causas externas el 60,9% (11.096) eran hombres, el 37,4% (6.815) tenían más de 80 años, el 54,9% (10.011) eran blancos y el 37,7% (6.867) eran casados. El hospital es el sitio de óbito más relatado en el 64% (11.664) de los casos. El 42,5% (7.741) fueron óbitos de otras causas externas con el 32,4% (5.897) de ellos, por caídas. Conclusión: Las principales víctimas son las mujeres mayores, de baja escolaridad y de violencia física practicada principalmente por el hijo, sin embargo, los que se mueren con más frecuencia son los hombres mayores que tienen las caídas y los accidentes de transporte como causa principal.Objetivo: Descrever o perfil da morbimortalidade da violência contra a pessoa idosa. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e retrospectivo de 14.900 notificações extraídas do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) e de 18.228 casos do Sistema de Informação de Mortalidade (SIM), de 2012 a 2017, do estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Analisaram-se as notificações de violência segundo características das vítimas (sexo, faixa etária, raça/cor e escolaridade), da ocorrência (local, tipo de violência, características do agressor) e as variáveis referentes ao óbito (sexo, faixa etária, raça/cor, estado civil, local de ocorrência e causa do óbito). Resultados: Das notificações analisadas, 54,5% (8.116) das vítimas eram mulheres, 42,8% (6.384) brancos e 47,6% (7.082) com ensino fundamental incompleto/analfabeto. A violência física deu-se em 69,5% (10.356) dos casos, e o filho apresenta maior frequência no perfil de agressor, com 26,4% (3.928).
