Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Capacidade funcional e condições sócio-ecológicas em idosos longevos: uma amostragem dos ex-combatentes da Segunda Guerra Mundial em Belém do Pará(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-05-01) SOUSA, Elton Vinícius Oliveira de; SILVA, Hilton Pereira da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3917171307194821The suddenness that humanity grows old requires adaptations of the societies’ lifestyle and attention to the elderly people needs new paradigms between government and citizen. In Belém of Pará, Brazil, the former combatants of World War II did not participate of the Independence parade in 2010, alleged lack of physical conditions, that arouse the interest in know this parcel of the population of Pará lives, as they have participated of the parade since 1951. With this aim, the aging profile of a sample of former-combatants of World War II, who live in Belém, was described in its bioantropologic aspects, relating to transition of density and epidemiology which Brazil is passing by, especially in the North region, in which we identify few studies about human aging. Thus, this study was based on survey method and descriptive, correlational quantitative. There were two phases in the research one bibliographic and another in the field in which we collected the required sample for the study. This sample is composed of 20 Ex-combatants (Navy n = 9, Army n = 9 and Air Force n = 2), aged 90.15 ± 5.33 years. In data analysis, we used SPSS 20.0 for univariate and multivariate analysis. The dependent variable, functional capacity was assessed by the Activities of Daily Living (ADL), we applied the Katz’s model (1963), The Nutritional status was defined through the diagnoses obtained from the analysis of anthropometric variables: body mass index, triceps skinfold thickness and arm muscle circumference and overall muscle strength, through the evaluation of grip strength. The Social conditions and health were assessed by questionnaires and sociodemographic a physical examination was performed in order to identify health conditions over the life course. Ex-combatants of World War II who live in Belém (PA), men are physically active and independent in ADL (95%). This result was confirmed by the evaluation of grip strength which noted that the sample has the same levels of muscle strength when compared to other populations of elderly Brazilians. In the nutritional assessment, 30% are eutrophic while 70% are not eutrophic. In socioeconomic profile, it was found that 65% are married, 30% widowed and 5% single, averaging 5 ± 3.11 children. The education level is 40% with high school, live in good housing conditions, with a monthly income of more than five minimum wages. They are independent of unified health system. 95% are Catholic and 25% of them still hold community activities. The recreational use of alcohol was reported by 50% of the sample and 100% are non-smokers. For longevity and good functional capacity, they were attributed to favorable socioeconomic status and family support. In the analysis of the course of life, we can hypothesize them high social adaptability due to bad experiences in the war, despite being with great loss of social prestige, which is an important reason for non-participation in military parade in 2010.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Fatores de risco cardiovasculares em comunidades de remanescentes quilombolas de Inhangapi-Pa(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-11) SANTOS, Joice Costa; GUERREIRO, João Farias; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1000688763895346Cardiovasculares disease (CVD) currently represent a serious public health problem, with high mortality and disability. In Brazil is the leading cause of death in both gender, as well as higher prevalence among blacks. Risk factores for cardiovascular diseases, however, when addedat risk much higher. Within this contest, this study aimed to analyze the set of cardiovascular risk factors involved in maroon communities reminiscent of the city of Inhangapi-Para. This study of cross-sectional design was conducted in 2009 in the communities of afro-descendents of Pitimandeua, Itaboca and Paraíse, located in the municipality of Inhangapi-Pa, northern Brazil. The sample consisted of 218 adults over 20 years of which were measured through of central and dispersion measures for the general population and by gender, using the Student t test; were categorized to estimate the prevalence and used the chi-square to determine the probability and the odds ratio were employed to characterize the risk factors most relevant to CVD using a range of 95%; we used the linear correlation coefficient of Pearson to identify the level of association between variables; logistic regression was applied using the Stepwise method and used the odds ratio to assess the chance of individuals exposed to risk facotrs present a set of three or more chronic diseases compared to non-exposed. Analyses were processed in the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 18.0. The presence of three or more carviovascular risk factors was present in 33% of general population was statistically higher among women (40%). The risk factors were more prevalente excess body fat (42.5%), overweight (40.6%) and hypertension (35.4%) for the general population. In the final model, the set of risk factors for the occurrence of cardiovascular disease for women were body fat (OR: 1.5), abdmonial circumference (OR: 1.3) and systolic blood pressure (OR: 4,5), explaining an accuracy of 88.2% for this model. And for men total cholesterol (OR: 1.1), body fat (OR: 1.3) and systolic blood pressure (OR: 3.1), explaining a hit 83.7%. Excess body fat and systolic hypertension were common among men and women, with systolic hypertension constituted a greater risk to the population of remnants of Quilombo Inhangapi. Standing out among men hypercholesterolemia among women abdominal obesity.
