title: Urinary incontinence and nocturia: prevalence and impact on quality of life in elderly women in a Primary Health Care Unit

description: Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of urinary incontinence and its subtypes stress urinary incontinence, overactive bladder and mixed urinary incontinence, the prevalence of nocturia, and the impact of these conditions on quality of life in an elderly female population attended for vaccination in a Primary Health Care Unit in Niterói city, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Methods: In an observational descriptive study, the Brazilian versions of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form and of the King's Health Questionnaire were used respectively to do the screening of women with urinary incontinence and to evaluate the impact of urinary incontinence and nocturia on quality of life. Sixty-six women took part in the survey. Results: The average age was 69.6±7.2 years. According to the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form, the prevalence of IU was 42.4%, and 42.9% of elderly incontinent women reported impact of incontinence on their daily activities. The prevalence of stress urinary incontinence, overactive bladder and mixed urinary incontinence was, respectively, 15.2%, 12.1% and 10.6%. Twenty incontinent women agreed to answer the King's Health Questionnaire. Eleven of them (55%) reported complaints of mixed incontinence, and sixteen women (80%) presented nocturia. It was observed impact in quality of life in all domains. Conclusion: It was observed high prevalence of urinary incontinence in the studied population. According to the screening questionnaire, the most prevalent subtype of incontinence was stress urinary incontinence, whilst the use of the quality of life questionnaire showed higher prevalence of mixed incontinence. The frequency of nocturia could be estimated only for those women who answered to the King's Health Questionnaire. There was impact on all domains of quality of life.

title: Factors associated with falls and recurrent falls in elderly: a population-based study

description: Objective: Identify the prevalence and factors associated with falls and recurrent falls in a sample of community-dwelling elderly. Methods: Cross-sectional, population based study, with participants aged 65 and older. Households were enrolled within each census region according to population density and number of elderly living in each region. It was used a multidimensional questionnaire composed of sociodemographic, clinical, psychological and physical functioning performance data and a battery of physical tests. Results: The sample was composed by 391 participants with mean age (SD) of 72.4 (6.0) years. Among the participants, 37.5% reported fall in the last year and 16.5% reported two or more falls. Falling was associated with depressive symptoms (OR=1.96; 95% CI 1.22-3.14, p=0.005); living alone (OR=2.83; 95% CI 1.57-5.12, p&lt;0.001); low self-efficacy for falls (OR=1.77; 95% CI 1.10-2.83, p=0.017) and arthritis (OR=2.10; 95% CI 1.34-3.29, p=0.001). Falling recurrently was associated with: female gender (OR=2.54; 95% CI 1.23-5.21, p=0.011); being 80 years or older (OR=2.30; 95% CI 1.12-4.72, p=0.022); dizziness (OR=1.91; 95% CI 1.04-3.49, p=0.035); living alone (OR=2.57; 95% CI 1.27-5.18, p=0.008); arthritis (OR=1.94; 95% CI 1.07-3.51, p=0.027); and depressive symptoms (OR=2.13 95% CI 1.17-3.88, p=0.013) Conclusion: The modifiable factors associated with falls and recurrent falls were living alone, depressive symptoms, low self-efficacy for falls, dizziness and arthritis. We suggest that programs to prevent falls should accomplish these factors.

title: Aids profile in individuals over 50 years old in the Amazon region

description: The number of individuals over 50 years in Brazil has increased in recent years along with the number of AIDS cases in this population. These individuals suffer from various social problems with family and health professionals after diagnosis, because these still consider the elder an asexual being. Thus, this study aimed to assess data on AIDS in individuals aged 50 or older in the city of Porto Velho, state of Rondonia, Brazil. Data were collected in AGEVISA / RO based on epidemiological data of information systems Sinan NET and SinanW. The variables analyzed were: age, gender, mode of transmission, year of diagnosis and outcome. Were reported 1,668 AIDS cases in the age group between 14 and 81 years, of which 15% (251) were individuals over 50 years, and 69.4% (175) were men and 30.4% (76) women. The most common mode of transmission of the virus was exclusive sexual relationship with women (144 cases) and transmission mode with a smaller number of cases by blood transfusion was having an affair. In the course of the disease, 191 patients were treated and 54 died. There was an increase in the number of individuals older than 50 years with AIDS in the last decade in the city of Porto Velho-RO.

title: Self-perceived health in elderly living in a city in Rio Grande do Sul state

description: Objectives: To assess the health perception of elderly living in a town in Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. Methods: Quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional study in which a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire was administered in a population of 274 elderly from August 2011 to September 2012. Results: There was a predominance of females, aged 60-69 years, low income and education. In relation to pathologies, 77.38% reported having chronic disease, hypertension being the most prevalent, affecting 56.20% of the elderly, followed by 28.10% with osteoarthritis. Only 13.14% reported being drinkers and 6.57% reported being smokers. As for the practice of physical activity, 67.52% reported physical activity on a regular basis. Of the total elderly respondents, 47.81% considered their health good. Conclusion: Although most elderly have mentioned good health, a large proportion being reported chronic diseases, which reinforces the idea that the perception of being sick is more related disability than being a carrier of chronic damage.

title: Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and strength training to gain muscle strength in elderly women

description: Introduction: The world population is aging, and this leads to progressive physiological changes and increased incidence of acute and chronic degenerative diseases. In this sense, one of the main changes occurring during this period is sarcopenia, characterized by decreased skeletal muscle mass. Objective: To perform comparative analyze of results of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques and strength training to gain muscle strength of biceps and quadriceps and grip in the elderly. Method: This is a prospective randomized study with purposive sample of 17 elderly patients undergoing a program of strength training and evaluation with a dynamometer, before and after applying the treatment protocol. After evaluation, subjects were randomly divided into two groups: PNF and Bodybuilding. Results: The group trained with PNF had more significant gain in muscle strength, biceps (p=0.0392*) and quadriceps (p=0.0230*) did not show statistically significant relevance in the grip (p=0.1075). In the group trained with weights there was no statistically significant difference: biceps (p=0.5338), quadriceps femoris (p=0.0679) and palmar (p=0.3758). Comparing both techniques, however, there was no statistical difference: biceps (p=0.5739), quadriceps (p=0.8450) and palmar (p=0.2457). Conclusion: This study showed that the period of 12 weeks of intervention seems to be sufficient to achieve gains in muscle strength with PNF technique, but when comparing the two techniques it was not statistically significant.

title: Effectiveness of physical therapy in association with dance in healthy elderly: a randomized clinical trial

description: Objective: Verify the physical therapy associated with dance effectiveness in terms of balance, flexibility and agility in healthy seniors. Methods: Randomized controlled trial whose sample was divided into two groups: control (GC; 7W/4M; age= 74.1±7.3; n=11) and intervention (GI; 9W/2M; age= 75.7±7.8; n=11). Participants underwent the following types of evaluation in pre and post intervention phases: balance assessment by Berg balance scale, agility according to the Timed Up and Go test and flexibility according to the Wells Bank. A program consisting of 16 therapies with 60 minutes long twice a week followed a protocol of evolution based on the complexity of the exercises and with the aim of stimulating balance, functional independence and muscle stretching. The statistical analysis was performed using software SPSS 15.0 and were used the Mann-Whitney test to compare the groups and Wilcoxon tests to compare pre and post intervention, with significance level of 5%. Results: The intervention group showed improved balance (p=0.04), flexibility (p=0.01) and agility (p=0.03) when compared to the control group. The control group showed improvement in the flexibility levels (p=0.01). Conclusion: The proposed program was effective in terms of improving balance, flexibility and agility among participants. It is expected that this study can contribute to future research and clinical practice about the association of physical therapy and dance, as a preventive and rehabilitative treatment options.

title: Comparison of two physiotherapy treatments in reducing pain and increasing functional autonomy of elderly patients with gonarthrosis

description: Objective: To compare the treatment of manual therapy associated with ultrasound, and conventional kinesiotherapy associated with gallium arsenide laser (GaAs) in reducing pain and increasing functional autonomy in elderly patients with gonarthrosis. Methods: Clinical trial, with quasi-experimental design. The sample was randomly divided into two groups: experimental group 1 (EG1, n=44, age=68±7.64 years, body mass index: 26.77±4.74kg/m2) - patients with gonarthrosis undergoing physical therapy with manual therapy and ultrasound; and experimental group 2 (EG2, n=20, age 70±5.49 years, body mass index: 27.11±4.63kg/m2) - patients with gonarthrosis undergoing physical therapy and laser therapy with conventional kinesiotherapy. We analyzed functional autonomy (Protocol Development Group for Latin American Maturity - GDLAM) and pain symptoms (Borg CR10 scale). Both EGs participated in 45-minute training sessions, twice a week for eight consecutive weeks. The significance level was p&lt;0.05. Results: It was observed significant improvement in the reduction of the functional autonomy index GDLAM (p&lt;0.001) in both EG1 (Δ=16.14) and in EG2 (Δ=9.32). Similarly, there was significant decrease (p&lt;0.001) in the level of pain in both EG1 (Δ=5.09) and EG2 (Δ=7.1). The power of the experiment was 98%. Conclusions: Both treatments were effective in increasing the functional autonomy and reduction of pain in elderly patients with gonarthrosis.

title: Prevalence and factors associated with the functional capacity of the elderly within the Family Health Strategy in the city of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil

description: This paper aimed to assess the functional capacity level of elderly people of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) and its associations. A cross-sectional study with 516 elderly residents living in the FHS surrounding area, in the district of Grande Santos Reis, Montes Claros city, Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Two questionnaires were applied: one of socio-demographic characteristics, living conditions and awareness of own economic situation; and the other assessed functional capacity. We performed descriptive (absolute and relative frequencies for categorical variables and mean and standard deviation) and analytical (test of association chi-square and binary logistic regression hierarchical) approaches. Of the total, 39.5% were men (70.4±7.1 years) and 60.5% women (69.1±6.9 years); 63.4% with schooling from zero to two years; 85.7% had income up two minimum wages; 73.1% lived with their families; 33.9% presented inadequate functional capacity (38.5% women and 27.0% men). The functional capacity of inadequacy was associated with women, having more than 70 years, income of up to two minimum wages and less schooling time. There is a need to direct attention to the health of the elderly, combining the promotion of research and actions planned and directed to improving the health and quality of life of this group.
