title: Nutritional status and prevalence of chronic diseases among elderly in the countryside of Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil

description: OBJECTIVE: To investigate the factors affecting the nutritional status of socially active elderly in a municipality in the countryside of Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. METHODS: A cross-sectional study where 284 subjects participated voluntarily. A structured individual questionnaire containing questions relating to eating habits was administered and anthropometric data (weight, height, waist circumference) were collected. RESULTS: 60.3% of men and 62.5% of women were overweight. Based on the assessment of waist circumference (WC) there was increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) in 98.5% of men and 92.5% women. Most women (56.9%) reported some solid drug use, whereas among men (52.5%), most reported no medicine consumption. No significant difference between the different nutritional status and dietary habits investigated was observed. Among married, overweight was found in 47.1% of men and 35.6% of women. CONCLUSION: The majority of the elderly population was overweight and waist circumference was large among men and women. No association between nutritional status and the number of meals, water intake, daily intake of fruits and vegetables, type of milk consumed, weekly consumption of meat, candies, fried foods and legumes was observed.

title: Spirituality among older elderly: a study of social representations

description: The fact that old age is considered the final stage of life increases the frequency people think about life and death. During the aging process, cognitive, emotional and social resources are used to face unusual situations, which arise from the system of beliefs and values socially constructed and shared. Spirituality can be addressed in later life as a coping resource for adverse situations, formed by emotional and motivational aspects for searching meaning in life. This study aimed to assess the social representations of individuals aged 80 and older on spirituality. Interviews were conducted with 30 elderly matched by sex (age between 80 and 102 years old), living in Florianópolis city, Santa Catarina State, Brazil. A questionnaire was used to collect sociocultural and health data, so as to characterize the participants. Interviews were analyzed by descending hierarchical classification (CHD) and analysis by contrast using the software ALCESTE. The results point to two representations of spirituality in a male one, based on the idea of connecting with a higher, divine power or God, divorced from religion, and the other is female, based on the idea of transcendence of matter, a comprehensive part of life and religiosity.

title: Muscular strength and quality of life in elderly women

description: OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of exercise training on the levels of strength and quality of life in elderly women, considering the functional capacity, physical limitations, pain, general health, vitality and social relationship variables in institutionalized elderly. METHODS: The study participants were 36 elderly women over 60 years old, recruited in the Social Service of Commerce (SESC), city of São Luís, state of Maranhão, Brazil, divided in tw groups: the sedentary group (n=16) and training group (n=20). All were 60 years or more, had not performed strength training for six months and had no restrictions on this practice. Before and after training, it was determined maximal isometric muscle strength of the extensors of the lumbar spine and knee, the elbow flexors and abductors of the shoulder, using the dynamometer NPRO2000. We used the SF-36 questionnaire to assess te quality of life. Training was conducted for 12 weeks with twice-weekly sessions of 60 minutes. The intensity was set by the zone of maximum repetitions (3-4 sets, 8-12 reps) and the order of exercises changed every four weeks. Statistical analysis was performed using the Student t test program SPSS 10.0. RESULTS: The sedentary group did not achieve any statistically significant value in any variable studied; the training group achieved statistically significant scores and percentage values of strength gain, respectively, in knee extensors (p=0.0032, 30.23%) and extensors of the lumbar spine (p=0.0207; 12.33%). The results obtained in evaluating the quality of life showed statistically significant percentage increase in the functional capacity (p=0.0092; 11.05%), general health (p=0.0075; 14,17%), vitality (p=0.0015, 15.38%) and mental health (p=0.0154; 9.64%) of elderly submitted to strength training. CONCLUSION: The strength training proposed in this study caused a significant increase in muscle strength that reflected in the improvement of quality of life in the domains of physical functioning, general health, vitality and mental health of elderly women submitted to strength training.

title: Companionship groups as support to improve the health of the elderly

description: This study aimed to know the representation of the elderly population about the degree of satisfaction with benefits obtained in health improvement within companionship groups. Relationship nets are important sources of social support and satisfaction with life. It considered satisfaction levels as welfare indicator in aging with quality of life, describing the satisfaction level in social participation of elderly in Spain and in Brazil that are affiliated to companionship centers/groups. The study population included 262 elderly people in Brazil and 262 in Spain that were part of companionship centers/groups where the universities had insertion. The research corpus, archived in the UNISC Aging research group database, was built from narratives made by the interviewed elderly, reflecting their view of their participation in companionship groups and their personal experiences. The qualitative analysis of interviews was performed through the content analysis technique. It has been observed that social relationships and social support, being emotional, instrumental or informational, favor health improvement. The activities that have been most commented and performed by the elderly, in Brazil and Spain, are the ones related to sociability, shown in the contact with friends, when joys, sorrows and knowledge are shared.

title: Educative workshops on HIV/Aids: proposing interventions for elderly

description: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of educational workshops instructing about HIV/Aids in a group of elderly. The population included 471 individuals between 60 and 91 years old, mostly women (83.1%). A questionnaire comprising five domains was answered by participants before and after taking the educational workshops. McNemar test was used to assess differences between pre-and post-workshop, through thr software STATA 12 (p&lt;0.05). The greatest variation (202.72%) was observed in the "concept" domain related to the asymptomatic infection phase. Regarding "HIV transmission", the variation was 168.53%. The domain "prevention" had variation of 44% concerning the existence of female condom. The "vulnerability" domain inquired about Aids association in specific groups, and a difference of 34.93% was observed. In the "treatment" domain, when inquiring about Aids cure, 50.85% variation was observed. The educational workshops were effective for the domains "concept", "transmission", "prevention", "vulnerability" and "treatment" in a group of elderly.

title: Urinary incontinence in institutionalized elderly in Brazil: an integrative review

description: This study aimed to investigate the main aspects related to urinary incontinence (UI) in institutionalized elderly in Brazil, through an integrative literature review. In August 2013, the following databases were accessed: PubMed, LILACS, SciELO, PAHO, MedCarib, CAPES and Scholar Google, searching for combinations of the terms "urinary incontinence", "elderly", "institutionalized" and "Brazil". After application of eligibility criteria, ten studies were selected: eight scientific studies and two MSc dissertations. Most studies were sectional, carried out in the Southern or Southeastern regions f Brazil, using samples of less than 100 individuals. UI frequency ranged from 22 to 100%, being over than 50% in most studies, being female gender the most affected. The most common clinical form was stress incontinence, followed by urge incontinence, and the volume of losses referred by residents varied between small and large quantities, without predominance of any category. The impact on quality of life conditions of the individual is generally high or moderate, however is lower in non-institutionalized elderly. This study concluded that UI is a common health condition found in the nursing home environment, affecting the quality of life of the resident and can be associated with a decline in mobility and cognitive function. However, Brazilian research on this subject is still limited with reduced sampling, so higher degree of methodological strictness is required in future studies to facilitate planning prevention and treatment measures. Appropriate planning will reduce sanitary costs and the workload of caregivers and health professionals, as well as the impact of this condition on the health of the institutionalized elderly.
