Abstract(s)
O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o papel dos preditores da qualidade de vida relacionada com a
saúde (QVRS) em pessoas idosas, e analisar se essas relações diferem em função da componente da QVRS
(física vs. mental) e/ou intervalo etário (jovem-idoso vs. idoso-idoso).
Este estudo incluiu 802 idosos com idade entre 60 e os 79 anos. A QVRS foi avaliada através do
questionário SF-36. A aptidão funcional foi avaliada usando a bateria de testes Senior Fitness Test. A
atividade física, as informações demográficas e de saúde foram obtidas via questionário.
Uma análise de regressão múltipla mostrou que o índice de massa corporal (β=−0,15, p=0,001), a força
muscular (β=0,21, p<0,001), a resistência aeróbia (β=0,29, p<0,001), a atividade física (β=0,11, p=0,007),
os sintomas depressivos (β=−0,19, p<0,001), as quedas (β=−0,19, p<0,001) e viver sozinho (β=−0,16,
p<0,001) foram preditores significativos do score total do SF-36. Verificou-se ainda uma relação positiva
entre a componente física com a resistência aeróbia, e uma relação negativa entre o viver sozinho
componente mental da QVRS. A relação positiva entre a atividade física e a QVRS foi verificada apenas
nos idosos-idosos.
Estes dados sugerem que a composição corporal, a aptidão funcional, os fatores psicossociais e as quedas
são preditores importantes da QVRS. Existem diferenças nas relações entre as componentes da QVRS e
os preditores em função do intervalo etário, o que sugere a necessidade de planear estratégias específicas
no nível da comunidade para promover a QVRS em pessoas idosas mais velhas.
This study aimed to examine the role of predictors of HRQoL in a sample of older adults, and to investigate whether the relationships between HRQoL and predictors differ as a function of HRQoL component (physical vs. mental) and/or age cohort (young-old vs. old–old). This study included 802 older adults aged 60–79 years old. HRQoL was assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire. Functional fitness was assessed using the Senior Fitness Test. Physical activity and demographic information and health features were obtained through questionnaires. A multiple regression analysis showed that BMI (β = −0,15, p = 0,001), body strength (β = 0,21, p < 0,001), aerobic endurance (β = 0,29, p < 0,001), physical activity (β = 0,11, p = 0,007), depressive symptoms (β = −0,19, p < 0,001), falls (β = −0,19, p < 0,001), and living alone (β = −0,16, p < 0,001) were all significantly related to HRQoL-SF-36 total score. The positive relation with aerobic endurance was significantly higher for the physical component of HRQoL, while the negative relation with living alone was significantly higher for the mental component. The positive relation of HRQoL with physical activity was significantly higher in old–old compared to young-old adults. This data suggests that body composition, functional fitness, psycho-social factors, and falls are important predictors of HRQoL in old age. There are HRQoL-component and age-cohort differences regarding these predictors, underlying the need for specific strategies at the community level to promote HRQoL in older adults.
