Abstract

Objective: The objectives of this work are to mention older adults' vulnerability factors, to identify main causes of poisoning among ibero-american older adults, and to describe accident and poisoning prevention strategies in the elderly.

Materials and methods: A theme-based review was carried out. Science Direct , Scopus , Embase, BIREME OPS - OMS data bases were used to search the following words: "Older adults/adulto mayor", "elderly/tercera edad", "poisoning/intoxicación", "overdoses/sobredosis". The search was restricted to published articles from 2000 and cases related to poisonings among older adults (> 60 years old).

Results: There is a need to strengthen a positive ageing model including strategies that handle social risks associated with the identified inequities among older adults. One of the risks that face older adults is intentional or unintentional poisonings related to drugs. Most poisoning prevention strategies focus on children as vulnerable populations in which older adults are included.

Conclusions: Older adult populations are growing at a constant rate therefore poisoning prevention strategies specially designed for this group are needed.

[老年人脆弱性与中毒预防]。

目的：这项工作的目的是提到老年人的易感因素，确定伊比利亚美洲老年人中毒的主要原因，并描述老年人的事故和中毒预防策略。材料和方法：以主题为基础进行综述。使用Science Direct、Scopus、Embase、BIREME OPS - OMS数据库检索以下词语：“Older adults/adulto mayor”、“elderly/tercera edad”、“poisoning/intoxicación”、“overdose /sobredosis”。搜索仅限于2000年发表的文章和与老年人（60岁至60岁）中毒有关的病例。结果：有必要加强一个积极的老龄化模型，包括处理与老年人中确定的不平等相关的社会风险的策略。老年人面临的风险之一是与药物有关的有意或无意的中毒。大多数中毒预防战略把重点放在儿童这一包括老年人在内的弱势群体上。结论：老年人口正以恒定的速度增长，因此需要专门为这一群体设计的中毒预防策略。
