Abstract

Introduction: Rio Grande do Sul is among the Brazilian states with the highest percentage of elderly people, in addition, high rates of HIV / AIDS have been verified in the general population, however, there are few scientific investigations exploring this subject. Objective: To identify the annual incidence of AIDS diagnoses in the population aged 60 years or older residing in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil, from 1997 to 2017 and also to compare the sex differences in infection rates. Method: Time series ecological study. Results: Between 1997 and 2017, 3,697 AIDS cases were reported in the elderly in RS. In the comparison between 1997 and 2017, the annual incidence of AIDS in the elderly in RS increased from 3.92 to 13.71 / 100,000 inhabitants, an increase of 249.93% (340.49% among men and 171.50%). among women). Conclusions: The percentage of AIDS diagnosed in the elderly in RS was six times higher than in the general population. This may be due to increased life expectancy and other factors related to the sexual behavior of the elderly, such as impotence medications and communication technologies.

1997 - 2017年南大德州里约热内卢老年人艾滋病发病率生态学研究

简介：南里奥格兰德州是巴西老年人比例最高的州之一，此外，普通人群中的艾滋病毒/艾滋病发病率很高，但很少有科学调查探讨这一问题。目的：确定1997年至2017年居住在巴西南里奥格兰德州（RS）的60岁及以上人群中艾滋病诊断的年发病率，并比较感染率的性别差异。方法：时间序列生态学研究。结果：1997年至2017年，RS的老年人中报告了3697例艾滋病病例。与1997年和2017年相比，RS老年人的艾滋病年发病率从3.92/100000居民增加到13.71/100000居民，增加了249.93%（男性340.49%，女性171.50%）。结论：RS中老年人被诊断为艾滋病的比例是普通人群的6倍。这可能是由于预期寿命的延长和其他与老年人性行为有关的因素，如阳痿药物和通信技术。
