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.

Abstract Objective: to identify the medication profile, the prevalence of polypharmacy and associated factors among elderly people receiving care from Family Health Strategy teams. Method: an analytical, document-based, cross-sectional survey with a quantitative approach was conducted in Brazlândia in the Distrito Federal, Brazil, with a sample of 211 elderly people enrolled in and receiving care from one of the local Family Health Strategy teams. Data were submitted to bivariate analysis and multiple analysis through logistic regression. Results: a considerable number of the elderly (62, 29.4%) were undergoing polypharmacy. The majority (56, 26.5%) used three different classes of drug, with antihypertensive drugs the most used. Diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular complications and the use of antihypertensive drugs were factors associated with polypharmacy. Conclusion: polypharmacy is a worrying reality and demands a new approach on the part of professionals, as this important aspect of geriatrics should be carefully evaluated to avoid harm and iatrogeny among the elderly.

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%).

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.

Abstract Objective : To identify the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that predispose the elderly to falls and to discuss the consequences of these events in their lives. Method : A descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach was carried out in a city in the southwest region of Bahia, Brazil. The target audience was composed of elderly people living in the area covered by the Family Health Strategy of this city. Data collection took place from April to June 2018 through a semi-structured, scripted interview. The content analysis technique proposed by Laurence Bardin was used to analyze and organize the information. Results : From the analysis of the interviews the main factors that predisposed the elderly to falls emerged, and these were methodologically divided into intrinsic and extrinsic. There were also post-fall events, such as the fear of falling again and the need to inhabit the same place where the fall occurred, as this is a domestic environment which, for social reasons, cannot be modified as recommended by preventive educational actions. Conclusion : The results show that falls among these elderly people occurred in the domestic environment due to structural (extrinsic) issues, and are less influenced by health problems (intrinsic). It can therefore be concluded that the need to inhabit the same place where the fall occurred, without it being modified, generates a fear of falling again, limiting independence and reducing functional capacity, and making effective intersectoral actions essential.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the clinical-functional vulnerability index (CFVI) of older adults and its relationship with socioeconomic, behavioral, clinical and therapeutic indicators. Method: A cross-sectional epidemiological study with a quantitative design was performed with 318 randomly drawn older adults registered with the Family Health Strategy. Data were collected through the CFVI-20 questionnaire and analysis was supported by descriptive, bivariate and multivariate statistics, with results with p-value <0.05 considered significant. Results: most older adults (59.1%) were considered frail or potentially frail. Among the groups studied, there was a statistically significant difference in the CFVI for the variables age group (p<0.001), functional literacy (p=0.001), alcohol consumption (p<0.001), physical exercise (p<0.001), self-reported health problems (p<0.001) and medication use (p<0.001), as well as a positive correlation with stress (r=0.135; p=0.016). In the multiple linear regression model, the set of sociodemographic predictor variables explained the frailty of the elderly by 30.4% (R2=0.304). Conclusions: The advancement of age, as a non-controllable variable, indicates a need to encourage the maintenance of functionality in old age, based on the health care strategies that prolong longevity with safety, autonomy and vitality.
