Abstract(s)
O processo de envelhecimento é acompanhado de mudanças físicas, sociais e mentais. A maneira como as incapacidades decorrentes do envelhecimento são aceleradas ou retardadas, depende, em grande parte, dos estilos de vida adoptados ao longo da vida. Os principais objetivos deste trabalho foram: (1) estimar a prevalência de depressão numa amostra de pessoa idosas do estado do Amazonas considerando o género, a idade, a área de residência, o estatuto socioeconómico e o estado civil; (2) investigar as correlações entre o nível de atividade física e a qualidade de vida, e (3) investigar as correlações entre as variáveis anteriores e a depressão. Metodologia: Este estudo enquadra-se no projeto “Saúde, Estilo de Vida e Aptidão em Adultos e Adultos Idosos do Amazonas (SEVAAI)”, com um delineamento transversal, onde foram avaliadas pessoas idosas de 3 municípios: Apuí (n=151), Fonte Boa (n=250) e Manaus (n=300). A atividade física, a qualidade de vida e as variáveis sociodemográficas foram avaliadas através de questionário (entrevistas face-to-face). Resultados: A prevalência de depressão nesta amostra foi de 28.8%. As pessoas idosas que vivem em regiões mais isoladas, assim como aqueles com o estatuto socioeconómico mais baixo apresentam prevalências superiores de depressão (p<.005). Uma correlação positiva foi encontrada entre a atividade física (score total) e a qualidade de vida (.163 > r < .231, p < .001). Verificou-se uma correlação negativa entre o score total de atividade física e a depressão (r < -.230; p<.001). Similarmente, a correlação entre a qualidade de vida e a depressão foi negativa (-.415 > r < .479; p < .001). Conclusões: A prevalência de depressão em pessoas idosas do Estado do Amazonas é elevada e varia em função do local de residência e estatuto socioeconómico. A atividade física está positivamente associada à qualidade de vida, e ambas, negativamente correlacionadas com a depressão.

The main objectives of this work Were: (1) to estimate the prevalence of depression in a sample of elderly people from the state of Amazonas considering the gender, age, area of residence, socio-economic status and marital status; (2) investigate the correlations between the level of physical activity and quality of life, and (3) investigate correlations between previous variables and depression. Methodology: This study is part of the project "Health, Lifestyle and Fitness in Adults and Elderly Adults of Amazonas (SEVAAI)", With a cross-sectional design, where they were evaluated Elderly of 3 municipalities: Apuí (n=151), Fonte Boa (n=250) and Manaus (n=300). Physical activity, quality of life and sociodemographic variables were evaluated through questionnaire (interviews face-to-face). Results: The prevalence of depression in this sample was 28. 8%. Older people living in more isolated regions, as well as those with the lowest socio-economic status, have higher prevalence of depression (p<.005). A positive correlation was found between physical activity (total score) and quality of life (.163 > r < .231, p< .001). There was a negative correlation between the total physical activity score and depression (r < -. 230; p<. 001). Similarly, the correlation between quality of life and depression was negative (-. 415 > r < .479; p < .001). Conclusions: The prevalence of depression in elderly people in the State of Amazonas is high and varies depending on the place of residence and socio-economic status. Physical activity is positively associated with quality of life, and both negatively correlated with depression.
