ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: We investigated the impact of socioeconomic inequalities on chronic pain of older adults according to sex. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This population-based cross-sectional study used survey data from the 2015 cohort of the SABE Study (Saúde, Bem-estar e Envelhecimento), Brazil. Socioeconomic status was examined at individual level (educational attainment, financial independence, and race/skin color) and contextual level (Human Development Index). We analyzed the association between variables using the chi-square test and the Rao & Scott correction. Logistic regression models were adjusted for risk factors. RESULTS: The study comprised 1,207 older adults representing 1,365,514 residents 60≥ years of age in the city of São Paulo. Chronic pain was more frequent in females (27.2%) than in males (14.5%) (p<0.001). Females evidenced the worst self-perception of pain, especially those of the most vulnerable socioeconomic strata. Social inequalities impacted chronic pain in different ways between sexes. Among females, unfavorable living conditions (OR = 1.59; 95%CI 1.07; 2,37) and Blacks/Browns females were most likely to have chronic pain (OR = 1.32; 95%CI 1.01; 1.74). Among males, only the individual aspects were significant for the occurrence of chronic pain, such as low educational attainment (OR = 1.88; 95%CI 1.16; 3.04) and insufficient income (OR = 1.63; 95%CI 1.01; 2.62). DISCUSSION: The potential for inequality was greater for females than for males reflecting structural factors inherent in a highly unequal society. Conclusions: Equity-oriented health policies are critical to preventing pain in human aging.

ABSTRACT

O envelhecimento populacional decorre de uma associaçãoentre a queda significativa da mortalidade, que vinhaacontecendo desde a década de 40 e o rápido declínio dafecundidade. A transição demográûca acarreta a transiçãoepidemiológica, o que signiûca modificações no perfil dasaúde-doença da população. Objetivo: Partindo dessepressuposto este estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar operfil epidemiológico e sócio-demográfico de idososfrequentadores de grupo de convivência. Material e Métodos:Para isso, realizou-se um estudo descritivo transversal com30 idosos, utilizando um questionário com perguntas sobresaúde física e mental, hábitos de vida, intercorrências comunse satisfação grupal. Tendo suas bases fundamentadas naResolução 196/96. Resultados: Neste sentido foi possívelidentificar uma prevalência de mulheres com idade média de68,5 anos, casadas e alfabetizadas. Com relação aos hábitosde vida, a maioria realiza atividade física com frequência,não consome bebidas alcoolicas e também não fuma,entretanto consomem medicamentos diariamente. No que dizrespeito às enfermidades houve um predomínio da hipertensãoarterial entre os entrevistados. Os sujeitos encontram-sesatisfeito com as ações desenvolvidas no grupo. Conclusão:O conhecimento do perfil epidemiológico e sócio-demográficodemonstra a necessidade de se trabalhar temas como autilização de medicamentos e a importância da adoção dehábitos saudáveis, assuntos que poderão contribuir noprocesso de um envelhecimento saudável e que podem serdesenvolvidos em grupo, que corresponde a uma maneirade melhorar também a socialização dos participantes comoconstatado no estudo...


Population aging occurs due to a significant associationbetween decline in mortality, which have been happeningsince the 40s, and rapid decline in fertility.
