[Social resources of persons over 60 years of age. Its relationship with sociodemographic and health factors (ANCO project)]. / Recursos sociales en mayores de 60 años. Su relación con factores sociodemográficos y de salud (proyecto ANCO).

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the social situation of the over-60s and its relationship with several social, demographic and health variables. DESIGN: A descriptive, crossover study. SETTING: City of Córdoba. PARTICIPANTS: Systematic random sampling of the non-institutionalised population over 60 obtained 1,103 subjects (N = 49,674). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: The multidimensional OARS-MFAQ-VE questionnaire was filled in during face-to-face home interviews. The part of the questionnaire evaluating social resources (SR) was analysed, extracting information on the quantitative, emotional and material support factors. The subjects were classified into three groups by their social situation. 14.1% (CI = 12.7-16.4) lived alone and 7.2% (CI = 5.8-8.9) thought that they would not have help available in case of illness or incapacity. CONCLUSIONS: The present study described the social situation of our elderly people and found a considerable number suffering serious to absolute deterioration. The role of the spouse, the children or some friend or trusted person is vital for good social support.

[Functional capacity in those over 60 and related social health factors (the ANCO Project for the Aged of Cordoba)]. / Capacidad funcional en mayores de 60 años y factores sociosanitarios asociados (proyecto ANCO).

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the functional status (FS) of the over-60 population in our city, relating it to various social, demographic and health factors. DESIGN: A descriptive, crossover study. SETTING: City of Córdoba. PARTICIPANTS: A sample of 1,103 subjects was obtained by systematic sampling of the non-institutionalised population over 60 years old (N = 49,674), using the latest update of the 1991 census. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Application of the OARS-MFAQ-VE multidimensional questionnaire using a face-to-face home interview. We analysed 14 items from the part of the questionnaire assessing FS. Subjects were classified into three groups. 7.6% (25.0-30.3) needed help to perform at least one AS and 15.9% (13.8-18.2) were unable to perform at least one. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides a description of the functional status of the elderly, which for the most part is excellent. Various social and health factors linked to functional incapacity were identified.

[Functional evaluation of persons over 60 years of age living in an urban community. ANCO project]. / Valoración funcional de personas mayores de 60 años que viven en una comunidad urbana. Proyecto ANCO.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the grade of functional deterioration in older people and analyse associated factors. DESIGN: Cross sectional study. SETTING: City of Córdoba. PARTICIPANTS: The population over 60 years old on the Córdoba municipal roll (49,674) and living at home, from which a sample of 1,103 subjects was taken. INTERVENTIONS: The multidimensional OARS-MFAQ questionnaire was filled in. Calculation of the functional deterioration scores enabled five areas to be evaluated: physical health (PH), mental health (MH), economic resources (ER), social resources (SR) and capacity to perform daily activities (DA) autonomously. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Reply rate was 86.8%. The prevalence of serious/absolute deterioration in each of the areas was: 9.3% in SR, 8.5% in DA, 8.4% in ER, 6.9% in MH and 5.8% in PH. CONCLUSIONS: Both the prevalence of functional deterioration in the population group under study and the demand for institutional care are similar to other studies performed in our country, but higher than in Anglosaxon countries.
