Resumo: Objective: to associate polypharmacy and medication classes with the risk of falls in the elderly. Method: cross-sectional and quantitative study, carried out in an outpatient clinic in the city of São Paulo – SP, with 117 elderly people, from March to November 2019. Data collection was carried out by full transcription of prescriptions and the Falls Risk Scale from Downton. The statistical tests used were the Mann-Whitney and Chi-Square, considering a significance level of 5% and a confidence interval of 95%. Results: the risk of falls presented significantly with the number of medications, an average of 5.8 per day (p<0.0001) and the medication classes, antihypertensives (p<0.0001), oral antidiabetics (p =0.027), diuretics (p<0.0001) and antidepressants (p=0.042). Conclusion: therefore, the importance of evaluating factors related to the increased risk of falls is highlighted, to plan and implement strategies in the health care of the elderly.

Método: estudo transversal e quantitativo, realizado em um ambulatório na cidade de São Paulo – SP, com 117 idosos, no período de março a novembro de 2019. A coleta dos dados foi realizada pela transcrição integral dos receituários e pela Escala de Risco de Quedas de Downton. Os testes estatísticos utilizados foram o Mann-Whitney e o Qui-Quadrado, sendo considerado um nível de significância de 5% e intervalo de confiança de 95%. Resultados: o risco de quedas apresentou correlação significativa com o número de medicamentos, média de seis ao dia (p<0,0001) e as classes medicamentosas, os anti-hipertensivos (p<0,0001), os antidiabéticos orais (p=0,027), os diuréticos (p<0,0001) e os antidepressivos (p=0,042). Conclusão: portanto, ressalta-se a importância da avaliação dos fatores relacionados ao aumento do risco de quedas, para planejar e implementar estratégias no cuidado da saúde do idoso.  Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro Escola de Enfermagem Alfredo Pinto Programa de Pós-Graduação em Enfermagem2024-03-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos paresTexto: Quantitativo, transversal e descritivo.application/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://seer.unirio.br/cuidadofundamental/article/view/1305510.9789/2175-5361.rpcfo.v16.13055Revista de Pesquisa Cuidado é Fundamental Online; Vol. 16 (2024); e-13055Revista de Pesquisa Cuidado é Fundamental Online; Vol. 16 (2024); e-13055Revista de Pesquisa Cuidado é Fundamental Online; v. 16 (2024); e-130552175-53611809-6107reponame:Revista de Pesquisa: Cuidado é Fundamental Onlineinstname:Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO)instacron:UNIRIOporhttps://seer.unirio.br/cuidadofundamental/article/view/13055/12418https://seer.unirio.br/cuidadofundamental/article/view/13055/12419Copyright (c) 2024 Revista de Pesquisa Cuidado é Fundamental Onlinehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSoares, Cristiane ReginaOkuno, Meiry Fernanda Pinto2024-02-01T08:02:25Zoai:ojs.seer.unirio.br:article/13055Revistahttps://seer.unirio.br/cuidadofundamental/about/contactPUBhttps://seer.unirio.br/cuidadofundamental/oaiprofunirio@gmail.com||rev.fundamental@gmail.com2175-53611809-6107opendoar:2024-02-01T08:02:25Revista de Pesquisa: Cuidado é Fundamental Online - Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO)false
