Respiratory diseases are among the five leading causes of death in Brazil, particularly among the elderly. This study identified the occurrence of respiratory symptoms in older persons. Specifically, a descriptive, observational, and quantitative study was conducted using a sample of elderly people enrolled in the Hypertension and Diabetes sessions of the Family Health Strategy program in a Brazilian city. MRC-ATS-DLD78 questionnaires were used to analyze respiratory symptoms with a sample comprised of 50 volunteers (mean age = 69.96 years). The median time living in a dwelling within a polluted sample area was 30 years, with 82% reporting spending more time per day at home or in the neighborhood. The presence of coughing was reported by 18% persons, expectoration (17%), productive cough (14%), wheezing (34%), dyspnea (12%), and respiratory diseases (26%). Physiological changes in aging associated with the effects of pollution exposure leave elderly people more vulnerable to respiratory diseases because they are predisposed to diseases, such as decreased pulmonary elasticity, elevated lung compliance, reduced oxygen diffusion capacity, reduced expiratory flow, and premature closure of airways. The occurrence of respiratory symptoms in the elderly was 30% with one symptom, two (22%), three (10%), four (6%), and five (2%).

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the association between triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol (TG/HDL-c) ratio and cardiovascular risk factors among the elderly. Method: A cross-sectional epidemiological study with a random sample of elderly persons (n=349) of both genders, who received care under the Family Health Strategy in the municipality of Viçosa, in the state of Minas Gerais, was performed. Cardiovascular risk was calculated by the relationship between the TG and the HDL-c levels, with values greater than 3.5 considered a risk. Social and economic variables, lifestyle, noncommunicable chronic diseases, serum glucose levels, waist circumference (WC) and body mass index were evaluated. Multiple linear regression was used to evaluate the association between the TG/HDL-c ratio and other variables. Variables associated with the dependent variable with a level of significance lower than 0.20 in univariate regression analysis were included in the final model (stepwise-forward), applying a significance level of p<0.05. Results: The highest TG/HDL-c ratio values were associated with the presence of hypertension, having been or currently be a smoker, having elevated serum glucose and an increased waist circumference. Conclusion: The findings reflect the importance of studies on cardiovascular risk in the elderly, as health professionals should be familiar with the parameters that classify at risk individuals. The TG/HDL-c ratio is a reliable classification method that is easy to apply and correlates closely with adverse health effects.

ABSTRACTObjective: to identify how elderly people perceive the care provided by the Family Health Unit (FHU) from Igapo neighborhood, in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Methodology: this is a study with qualitative approach, using Oral History as a methodological means. The information collection was held within the period from August to October 2010, through recorded interviews, carried out with twenty elderly people registered in the Program HiperDia in the FHU of Igapo neighborhood, in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, after the approval by the Research Ethics Committee of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, under the Opinion 085/2010. Results: through the analyses of interviews, it was found that among the elderly people assisted at the FHU under study, most are women, their ages range from 60 to 69 years, and their education level is low. The elderly people come to the FHU through registering in the Programa HiperDia. Conclusions: it was also realized that the follow-up of the elderly population alone carried out by the Programa HiperDia is not enough to guarantee the guidance and basic care procedures which elderly people need, having in mind the priorities of this age group. Descriptors: aging; old age assistance; primary health care.RESUMOObjetivo: identificar como os idosos percebem a atenção à saúde recebida na Unidade de Saúde da Família (USF) do bairro Igapó, em Natal-RN. Metodologia: trata-se de um estudo com abordagem qualitativa, utilizando-se a História Oral como recurso metodológico. A coleta das informações foi realizada no período entre agosto e outubro de 2010, por meio de entrevistas gravadas, realizadas com vinte idosos cadastrados no Programa HiperDia na USF do bairro Igapó, em Natal-RN, após aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, sob o Parecer n. 085/2010. Resultados: a partir das análises das entrevistas, constatou-se que dentre os idosos que são assistidos na USF estudada, a maioria é do sexo feminino, com faixa etária entre 60 e 69 anos e com baixo nível de escolaridade. Os idosos chegam à USF por meio do cadastro no Programa HiperDia. Conclusões: percebeu-se, ainda, que apenas o acompanhamento da população idosa a partir do Programa HiperDia não consegue garantir a orientação e os cuidados necessários para os idosos, considerando-se as prioridades desse grupo etário. Descritores: envelhecimento; assistência a idosos; atenção primária à saúde. RESUMENObjetivo: identificar cómo los ancianos perciben la atención a la salud recibida en la Unidad de Salud de la Familia (USF) del barrio Igapó, en Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil.

Objectives : To identify the level of access to information regarding how to prevent oral health problems among the elderly, and verify if such levels were higher among members of households registered with the Family Health Strategy Program. Methods : An analytic cross-sectional study was conducted of a probabilistic complex sample of elderly (65-74 years old) members of the population of a large city. The level of access was estimated with adjustment for the design effect, as well as the magnitudes of association. Descriptive, bivariate and logistic regression (OR/CI95%) analysis was performed. Variables related to personal determinants, health services, health-related behavior and health outcomes were considered. Results : Of the 490 participants, 53.4% reported they had access to information about how to prevent oral health problems. This access was higher among elderly persons living in a household registered with the Family Health Strategy Program (2.04/1.14-3.67), and who had at least five years of schooling (2.53/1.67-3.83), regularly used dental services (1.84/1.07-3.17), did not smoke either now or in the past (1.79/1.13-2.82), did not suffer from chronic diseases (2.14/1.34-3.42) and had not suffered social impacts because of their oral health conditions (1.77/1.08-2.91). Conclusion : Most of the elderly persons had access to information about how to prevent oral health problems, with such access being greater among those registered with the Family Health Strategy Program.

The aim was to verify the association between food insecurity (FI) and food consumption of elderly people assisted by a Family Health Strategy (FHE). Sixteen elderly people, of both sexes, with a mean age of 69.13 years and BMI of 29.23 kg/m2 were evaluated. The Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale, food frequency questionnaire and 24-hour food recall were used. Weight and height were taken from the patients' records. It was observed that 37.5% of the elderly were in mild AI, 31.25% in moderate AI, 18.75% in severe AI and only 12.5% in food security. Individuals do not consume skimmed milk and have frequent intake of eggs, sausages, margarine, refined cereals, industrialized beverages, sweets and candies. And little or no use of olive oil and whole grains. No significant association between AI and food consumption. It is concluded that there was no association between food insecurity and food consumption in elderly people assisted by an ESF.

ABSTRACTObjective: to know the risks for the onset of osteoporosis in the elderly. Method: this is a quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive study in the Family Health Strategy (FHS). An instrument covering sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometry, clinical variables and life habits was used for data collection. The results were analyzed through the SPSS software, version 20.0, and the findings were presented in tables. Results: hypertension and diabetes mellitus prevailed. With respect to the family history, it was found that the elderly never had a fracture, did not have genetic factors on osteoporosis and did not use calcium and vitamin D. As for the modifiable factors, a large part of the elderly said not to practice physical activity, nor get exposed to the sun, and they said they ingested much caffeine and milk. Conclusion: the proposed objective was reached and it is hoped that the results found in this study contribute to the construction of knowledge about this disease that has increasingly affected people, helping to elaborate prevention strategies or avoid possible complications.

This article aims to nurses practising of Family Health Strategy related to actions directed at the elderly care. It is a qualitative study, converging-assistential, which data were collected between May and June/2012 through interviews and theme workshops with 20 nurses, who work in the Family Health Strategy of a Sanitary District of Florianópolis Municipality, SC. The data analysis involved processes of apprehension, synthesis, theorization and transference, resulting two categories: care to elderly; public Healthcare policy for the elderly. The results sustain discussions about the need of connecting the nurse work and proposal of government policies to the elderly health care. It is strongly recommended permanent education to the professionals already in service, so they can deal with the challenges of population aging.
