AIMS: This research aims to determine the epidemiology and the spatial distribution of intestinal parasitosis in the city of Teresina.METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out based on the data of parasitological fecal exams performed in the Laboratory Raul Bacelar between January, 2014 and July, 2017. In addition to the prevalence of intestinal parasitosis and polyparasitism, we verified the association of these diseases with gender, zone and period of the year by means of the chi-squared test, whereas the relation with age was analyzed by the Mann-Kendall tests and multiple comparisons of age classes. The spatial distribution was performed using the QGIS georeferencing software.RESULTS: The prevalence of enteroparasitosis in Teresina is 17,8% with Ascaris lumbricoides being the most common species, due to the precarious sanitary conditions of the city. The prevalence of individuals with polyparasitism is 3,13%, in which an association between the species Entamoeba coli and Entamoeba histolytica/dispar was found. There was no relation between intestinal parasitosis with gender, but we verified that individuals in rural areas are more susceptible to these diseases. The species Ascaris lumbricoides and Entamoeba histolytica/dispar occur more frequently in the first and second semester, respectively. We observed that there is an apparent tendency to increase cases of E. histolytica/dispar and reduction of cases of Giardia sp. according to aging. Mapping intestinal parasitosis showed us that there is a prevalence between one and 20% in most of Teresina's neighborhoods, and Ascariasis embodies at least 40% of cases of enteroparasitosis in these neighborhoods.CONCLUSIONS: Investments in basic sanitation and new epidemiological investigations must be carried out to control intestinal parasitosis in Teresina, emphasizing that children and the elderly should be considered priority groups in these programs.

Population policy on aging involves many forms of active aging, the most important of which are employment, social and cultural inclusion, volunteering and improvement of basic living conditions such as health care, adequate housing, and affordable transportation. Today, many European countries are facing the challenges of population aging, including Serbia, where the importance of active aging is still insufficiently recognized by society and key decision makers. The aim of this paper is to highlight the possibilities for promoting active aging through the inclusion of the elderly population in the cultural life of the city of Novi Sad, which faces the mentioned problem and lacks appropriate measures for the inclusion of the elderly population in the social and cultural life of the city. In addition, the aim of the study is to examine the attitudes of the cultural institutions regarding the possibility of adapting cultural contents to this target group, as well as for their inclusion in the realization of cultural contents. To achieve this, in-depth interviews were conducted with employees of the selected cultural institutions of the city. The obtained results will serve as the basis for the decision makers to define proposals of concrete actions to encourage active aging through the cultural contents of the city.

RESUMO No atual contexto de transição epidemiológica, as Unidades de Pronto Atendimento (UPA) passaram a exercer papel fundamental no atendimento à população idosa, com destaque para diagnósticos relacionados com trauma, doenças cardiovasculares e doenças respiratórias. Este trabalho teve como objetivo fazer uma análise do atendimento à população de idosos nas UPA do município do Rio de Janeiro entre os anos 2013 e 2015, levando em conta os diagnósticos mais prevalentes de acordo com a Classificação Internacional de Doenças, as classificações de risco relativas a cada grupo de doenças e os desfechos após o atendimento médico. Detectou-se maior prevalência de atendimentos do sexo feminino, assim como um aumento considerável no número de diagnósticos atendidos em idosos com o passar dos anos. Observou-se que a maioria desses idosos foi classificada como risco Amarelo, e a maior parte dos desfechos foi alta ou encaminhamento a especialistas. A rede de atenção à saúde deve preparar-se para o aumento das demandas desse grupo etário, sendo especialmente necessário um incentivo à procura pela atenção primária em busca da prevenção.

ABSTRAK Penduduk di Indonesia saat ini mengalami pertumbuhan yang cepat, terlebih lagi dewasa ini Indonesia mengalami fenomena peningkatan jumlah lansia yang begitu besar atau yang dapat kita kenal dengan ledakan penduduk usia lanjut, Angka pertumbuhan lansia terus meningkat setiap tahun. Menurut data Bappenas yang dikelola oleh Chandra menyatakan bahwa pada tahun 1980, penduduk lanjut usia baru berjumlah 7,7 juta jiwa atau 5,2% dari total jumlah penduduk. Inovasi yang dilakukan oleh Dinas Kesehatan Kota Yogyakarta sedikit memberikan angin segar bagi efektivitas pelayanan kesehatan khususnya para lansia di kota Yogyakarta. Mengingat bahwa kota Yogyakarta merupakan kota dengan jumlah penduduk lansia terbanyak di Indonesia. Pemerintah kota Yogyakarta dan Dinas Kesehatan telah melakukan kerjasama yang baik dengan berbagai pihak sehingga berdirilah rumah sehat lansia yang beralamatkan di jalan Pakel Baru, Sorosutan Umbulharjo-Yogyakarta, didirikan pada tahun 2013 dan sudah beroperasi hingga sekarang. Bahkan inovasi Rumah Sehat Lansia ini telah masuk dalam 33 inovasi pelayanan terbaik oleh Kementerian Pendayagunaan Aparatur Negara (Kemenpan). Pemerintah kota Yogyakarta hendaknya memperhatikan fasilitas-fasilitas kesehatan mislanya peralatan medis, kamar dan tempat tidur pasien sehingga rumah sehat lansia dapat menampung pasien untuk menjalani rawat inap demi pelayanan kesehatan yang berkualitas. Memperhatikan jumlah tenaga medis dokter dan perawat yang menangani para lansia. Mengingat selama ini kunjungan dokter efektifnya hanya 2 kali dalam seminggu yakni hari rabu dan sabtu. Sehingga dengan jumlah dokter yang memadai maka jumlah kunjungan dokter dapat diperbanyak lagi bahkan diharapkan dapat melayani setiap hari mengingat jumlah pasien yang tidak sedikit.
