title: Immediate effect of rhythmic auditory stimulation on the spatio-temporal parameters of gait in old people: a pilot study

description: Abstract Objectives Evaluate the immediate effect of rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS) with music on the spatio-temporal parameters of gait in sedentary old people and analyze possible interactions with episodes of falls. Methods Pilot intervention study with sedentary old people (n= 15), age ≥60 years, both sexes, independent in gait. Additionally, participants were divided into two groups, fallers (n= 5) and non-fallers (n= 10), based on the history of falls in the last year. The evaluation of the spatio-temporal parameters of the gait was performed using the 10-meter walk test performed with free walking (T0), repeated with RAS with music (T1), and without RAS again (T2). For data analysis, repeated measures ANOVA and two-way ANOVA were used for comparison between groups, with Tukey’s post hoc. The effect size of the intervention was also calculated. Results There was a significant reduction in time and number of steps and an increase in walking speed (p&lt;0.0001; with great effect) between moments T0-T1 and T0-T2. Both the faller and non-fallers groups showed a significant reduction in time and number of steps (p&lt;0.0001) and an increase in speed (p&lt;0.0001), but only in the cadence variable was there an effect of the group and of time and group interaction. Conclusion There was an immediate positive effect of the use of RAS on the space-time parameters of gait in sedentary old people, with a greater effect on the cadence of non-falling old people.

title: Physiotherapeutic interventions aimed at old people in situations of violence: a scope review

description: Abstract Objective Identify physical therapy interventions aimed at old people in situations of violence. Method This is a scope review, in which the following databases/libraries/search engines and gray literature were accessed: VHL, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, PEDro, BDTD, OpenGrey, OpenThesis, RCAAP, CAPES Thesis and Dissertation Portal, DART-Europe E-theses Portal and Theses Canada Portal. The searches used the descriptors and keywords, which were combined using the Boolean operators OR and AND: Fisioterapeutas, Fisioterapia, “Physical Therapists”, Physiotherapy, “Physical Therapy”, “Physical Therapy Specialty”, “Physical Therapy Modalities”, Rehabilitation, Reabilitação, “Elder Abuse”, “Maus-tratos ao Idoso”, “Physical Abuse”, “Elder Neglect”, “Aged Abuse” e “Elder Mistreatment”. Results Of the 601 records found, 46 were excluded because they were duplicated, and 555 were selected to read the respective titles and abstracts. 548 publications were excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria, and 7 papers were pre-selected. Through the Snowballing strategy, one was identified, resulting in a final result of 8 studies. Conclusion Physical therapy interventions aimed at old people in situations of violence include: health education, measures of caregiver stress, community resources, screening/triage, evaluation, identification, therapeutic/rehabilitation plan and reporting. In view of the findings, it is observed that, despite the lack of knowledge on this topic, the physiotherapist plays an essential role in the conduct of cases of violence against old people.

title: Temporal trend of the incidence of TB/HIV coinfection and HIV testing of the old Brazilian population from 2008 to 2018

description: Abstract Objective Analyze the temporal trend of the incidence of TB/HIV coinfection and the ratio of HIV testing in the Brazilian old population and its regions from 2008 to 2018. Method Ecological, time-series study carried out with all new cases of old people with TB/HIV coinfection. The data were extracted from SINAN-TB and analyzed using the Prais-Winstenmethod. Results In the temporal analysis of the incidence, Brazil showed a stable trend (VPA 2.1), and regarding the regions: Southeast, decreasing trend (VPA -2.15); Northeast and North, increasing trends (VPA 9.92; VPA 10.18, respectively); and South and Midwest, stable trends (VPA 0.17; VPA 4.81, respectively). In Brazil and its regions, the ratio of HIV testing showed growing trends: Brazil (VPA 12.82), North (VPA 20.46), Northeast (VPA 17.85), Southeast (VPA 10.29), South (VPA 7.11), and Midwest (VPA 6.10). Of the 3213 new cases of TB/HIV coinfection reported during the study period, most (68.66%) were male, 78.74% in the age group from 60 to 69. As for the clinical form, the majority (72.70%) was of the pulmonary type. Conclusion Given the magnitude and implications of TB/HIV coinfection in the old population for health care services, these findings may support health professionals and managers in adopting effective measures to control these diseases.

title: Factors associated with functional health literacy in old people undergoing pre-dialysis treatment

description: Abstract Objective To evaluate the factors associated with functional health literacy in the elderly undergoing pre-dialysis treatment. Method This is a cross-sectional study, carried out with 60 elderly people diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and assisted in the conservative treatment outpatient clinic of a public hospital in the city of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. Data were collected using the instrument of Test of Health Literacy in Adults, an abbreviated version and a structured questionnaire, which were subsequently analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Result Functional health literacy was insufficient 43(71.7%) and was associated with lower education (p-value=0.000) and non-white race (p-value=0.040). Conclusion The educational level and race are factors that interfere in functional health literacy, serving as subsidies for the elaboration of educational actions adjusted to the reality of this public.

title: Incidence and risk factors for hospitalization in institutionalized elderly people

description: Abstract Objective To evaluate the incidence of hospitalization and its risk factors in institutionalized elderly people during a 12-month follow-up in the city of Natal, RN, Brazil. Methods Concurrent cohort study composed of elderly people aged 60 years or over and residing in the 10 Long-term Care Institutions for the elderly participating in the study. Of the 320 participants, data regarding sociodemographic conditions (i.e., age, marital status, children, health insurance plan, type of institutions, length of institutionalization and if it was due to illness, the ratio of the number of elderly people per caregiver, and health conditions), nutritional status (MAN), functional capacity (KATZ index), cognitive status (Pfeiffer test), and muscle weakness (dynamometer) were collected. A significance level of 5% (p&lt;0.05) and a 95% confidence interval (CI) were considered in the bivariate and multivariate analyses. Results 20.6% (95%CI: 16.5-25.4) of the total number of participants were hospitalized, with an average length of stay of 16.1 days (SD: 17.1) at the end of the 12 months. The main cause of hospitalization was lung disease (30.3%). The presence of malnutrition or risk of malnutrition (p=0.016, 95%CI: 1.17-4.96) and use of drugs for the cardiovascular system (p=0.003; 95%CI: 1.43-5.77) were risk factors for hospitalization, after adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical variables. Conclusion Hospitalization had a high incidence among the elderly. Also, malnutrition or risk of malnutrition and the use of cardiovascular drugs were considered risk factors for hospitalization in the 12 months.

title: Analysis of the association between hand grip strength and functionality in community old people

description: Abstract Objective To analyze the association between hand grip strength (HGS) and physical ability tests by healthy, non-institutionalized old people. Method This is a cross-sectional research. The sample comprised 36 old people (66.69±4.84 years), and they all responded two questionaires, one containing a cognitive assessment and another to assess the level of physical activity, in addition to sociodemographic data and health conditions. The HGS was measured using the JAMAR hydraulic dynamometer, and the six-minute walk test (6MWT) and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test were carried out to assess the submaximal cardiorespiratory capacity during displacement and body mobility. Results The Pearson coefficient allowed to verify the weak and significant association between the HGS and the 6MWT (p=0.05) and TUG (p=0.027) variables. Conclusion The HGS showed a weak but significant correlation with the physical ability tests. Therefore, it can be used when contextualized with other variables to assess the functionality in old people in the community.

title: Epidemiologic characterization of hepatitis B among older adults

description: Abstract Objective to characterize the epidemiologic profile of Hepatitis B in the population aged 60 years old or more from the southwest region of the state of Paraná, Brazil, between 2007 and 2017. Method an epidemiologic, descriptive, and inferential study was conducted based on notifications obtained from the Notifiable Diseases Information System(or SINAN). Results Hepatitis B was more frequent in men, those with low levels of schooling and among individuals who worked in agriculture. Most of the cases were reported between 2013 and 2017 in subjects who reported having been exposed to biological material. According to logistic regression, hepatitis B infections were associated with non-white ethnicity (OR: 2.89; 95%CI 1.07 – 7.87), a history of blood transfusions (OR: 14.51; 95%CI 5.44 – 38.74), living in municipal regions with 10,000 to 20,000 inhabitants (OR: 4.57; 95%CI 1.59 – 13.12) and also among individuals from municipal regions with 20,000 to 50,000 inhabitants (OR: 4.33; 95%CI 1.61 – 11.56). Conclusion the epidemiological profile reported here represents a risk factor for hepatitis B in this population. The data can support more effective interventions, as well as further studies to guide comprehensive public health policies for older adults.

title: The effectiveness of the law of special priority in relation to judicial health demands in the 2nd. Instance of the Rio de Janeiro State Court of Justice

description: Abstract Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of the law of special priority regarding the processing of lawsuits about health demands in the 2nd Instance of the Court of Justice of the State of Rio Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. Method A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out on the lawsuits referring to old people judged from August 2017 to July 2018. The data were accessed from the court’s website. The effectiveness of the law was assessed considering: request of priority, citation of the law in the judicial decision and/or if the median time of duration of lawsuits was shorter for octogenarians than for the others. Results A total of 990 lawsuits were identified, but only 72 eligible (7.3%). The main defendant was the health plan (76.4%). The predominant demand was home care service (31.9%). There was a request and decision of priority for old people (86.1%), but none for special priority, no difference was observed too in the review time of the lawsuit between the octogenarians and of the other old people (p≥0.650). Conclusion The law of special priority still has no legal effectiveness in the lawsuits to exercise the right to health in Rio de Janeiro.

title: Potentially inappropriate medications prescribed to patients at the Reference Center in Health Care for Old People

description: Abstract Objective To analyze the pharmacotherapeutic profile of the old people assisted at a Reference Center in Health Care for Old People regarding the use of potentially inappropriate medications (PIM) using three screening criteria and to determine factors associated with the prescription of PIM. Method Cross-sectional study with data obtained by retrospective review of the medical records of the old people, attended between 2017 and 2018 by a geriatric doctor. To identify the PIM, the Beers Criteria, the Screening Tool of Older Persons’ Potentially Inappropriate Prescriptions (STOPP) and the Brazilian Consensus on Potentially Inappropriate Medications for Old People were used. Characteristics related to the sociodemographic profile (age and sex), lifestyle (smoking and alcohol consumption), clinical (diseases) and pharmacotherapeutic (medications and Medication Regimen Complexity Index - MRCI) were evaluated. Results 406 medical records were analyzed and 3,059 prescription medications were identified, of which 32.1% are PIM according to STOPP Criteria, 14.4% by the Brazilian Consensus and 11.7% by the Beers Criteria. In total, 81.1% of the old people had at least one PIM. Poisson regression demonstrated an association between the prescription of PIM with polypharmacy, a greater number of signs and symptoms and a higher MRCI value in at least one of the criteria. The strength of agreement between the PIM criteria was moderate. Conclusions Most of the analyzed medical records had at least one prescribed PIM, and the STOPP Criteria identified a greater amount of PIM. Strategies must be implemented to improve the pharmacotherapy of old people with attention to those who have factors associated with PIM in their profile.
