AbstrakLansia (lanjut usia) adalah seseorang yang berusia 60 tahun keatas. Lansia dikatakan memiliki risiko untuk mengalami berbagai penyakit degeneratif dibandingkan dengan usia muda. Salah satu penyakit degeneratif yang sering timbul tanpa gejala adalah hipertensi. Hipertensi disebut sebagai “silent killer” karena bisa muncul tanpa gejala atau tanda-tanda peringatan, sehingga banyak yang tidak menyadarinya. Penyebab terlambatnya penanganan pada pasien dengan hipertensi adalah mayoritas pasien datang ke fasilitas kesehatan apabila telah terjadi komplikasi, dan kurangnya akses masyarakat terhadap pelayanan kesehatan sehingga mengakibatkan kurangnya kontrol terhadap keadaan penyakitnya khususnya pada lansia. Oleh karena itu, dengan dilakukannya pemberdayaan kader terkait hipertensi diharapkan peran kader dalam upaya pencegahan dan pengendalian hipertensi pada lansia dapat berjalan optimal. Program kemitraan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman kader terhadap upaya pencegahan dan pengendalian hipertensi pada lansia. Target utama program ini adalah kader kesehatan di Dusun Sukosari, Desa Pandansari, Kecamatan Poncokusumo, Kabupaten Malang. Kegiatan ini meliputi survei awal terkait hipertensi pada Lansia, dan melaksanakan penyuluhan tentang upaya pencegahan dan pengendalian hipertensi pada lansia dengan menggunakan metode penyuluhan dan diskusi interaktif. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah adanya peningkatan pemahaman kader kesehatan terkait Penyakit Hipertensi khususnya upaya dalam pencegahan dan pengendalian penyakit hipertensi pada lansia di Dusun Sukosari, Desa Pandansari, Kecamatan Poncokusumo, Kabupaten Malang.Kata Kunci: Degeneratif, Hipertensi, LansiaAbstractLansia is someone who is at the age of 60 years and above. lansia Elderly have the risk to experience a variety of degenerative diseases compared with young age.

Physical Activity Maintenance

A capacidade funcional dos sistemas do organismo diminui gradualmente desde a juventude favorecendo a ocorrência de doenças crônicas, quedas e diminuição da capacidade funcional. O sedentarismo contribui significativamente na aceleração do ritmo do declínio, de modo que a eficácia da prática de atividade física na prevenção e controle dessas condições vem sendo progressivamente estudada. O objetivo deste estudo foi conhecer a produção do conhecimento, na forma de artigo, voltada para a manutenção da capacidade funcional e da autonomia em idosos por meio da atividade física, discutindo sobre as abordagens propostas para essa finalidade. Através de estudo exploratório, foi realizada uma revisão no período entre 2004 e 2008, das bases de dados Medline, Pubmed, Lilacs, Cinahal e Scielo, de onde foram selecionados artigos que verificaram as varia  das abordagens propostas em programas de atividade física. Os artigos demonstraram, em sua maioria, os benefícios da atividade física regular e adaptada aos diversos momentos e condições do idoso, na manutenção da capacidade funcional e da autonomia em idosos, confirmando inclusive a importância do incentivo à prática de atividade física em qualquer idade e principalmente ao idoso, dentro de suas amplas possibilidades e contextos.   PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, MAINTENANCE OF FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY AND AUTONOMY: LITERATURE REVIEW AND INTERFACES  OF CARE abstract The functional capacity of the body systems gradually decreases since the youth, favoring the occurrence of chronic diseases, falls and decreased functional capacity.

Epidemiological Profile

Background: Stroke is one of the main causes of death, disability and hospitalization. Although more prevalent in adults and the elderly, it has increased in young people for stress, poor diet, excessive alcohol and sedentary lifestyle. This study is justified because the restrictions in the pandemic, such as social isolation, reduced access to health services, have changed people’s behavior in relation to health care. This can cause the delay in medical care, leading to negative outcomes. Objectives: Analysis of home deaths for stroke, in Brazil, in the pandemic by age intervals. Design and Setting: Cross-sectional study in Federal University of Uberlândia. Methods: Study of home deaths from stroke, based on the Portal de Transparência do Registro Civil (ARPEN). Analyzing a previous context and during the pandemic, the percentage variations by age group between 2019 and 2020 were compared. Results: In 2020, 15,777 home deaths were recorded, while 2019 there were 12,349, representing an increase of 27.76%. In 2020, all age groups analyzed, there were increases in relation to 2019, the most expressive were: 0-9 years (76%), 10-19 (32.14%), 60-69 (28.12%), 70-79 (36.35%) and 80-89 (29.97%). Conclusions: Medical support in the first hours of symptoms is essential. The delay in care can delay the diagnosis, make the use of medications unfeasible, due to the door-to-needle times, as well as increasing home deaths. Thus, it is important to guide the population in the identification of signs and symptoms, to knowledge about the need for immediate hospital care, even in the pandemic.
