The data were processed by the Iramuteq software, analyzed using Descending Hierarchical Classification (DHC) and interpreted by Content Analysis. Results The corpus yielded five thematic classes. These classes revealed the dissemination of information about vaccination against covid-19 for older people as a necessary measure for the health of this population, justifying the intense reporting of news on the vaccination campaign. The articles highlighted the organization of immunization policies, as well as their benefits for the older population, especially institutionalized individuals. In addition, the vaccine emerged as a key element in the fight to contain the spread of the coronavirus, increasing the protection of older residents of long-term care facilities and, undeniably, reducing the mortality of this population. Conclusion The findings highlight the importance of disseminating health promotion policies across a wide variety of communication channels, allowing access to health information by all audiences and reinforcing the urgency of collective care practices offered to older people, including those residing in institutions.","PeriodicalId":31328,"journal":{"name":"Revista Brasileira de Geriatria e Gerontologia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67330846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The association between classification of nutritional status using BMI and occurrence of NCD was estimated by the Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (95%CI). Results As measured by the different BMI classification criteria, nutritional status varied: for normal weight (24.9-32.3%), excess weight (57.3-73.2%) and for underweight (1.9-15.3%). According to the Lipschitz classification, underweight was associated with lower occurrence of osteoarticular diseases (OR=0.38; 95%CI: 0.15-0.93) and cardiometabolic diseases (OR=0.42; 95%CI: 0.19- 0.94); while overweight was associated with higher occurrence of cardiometabolic diseases (OR=2.26; 95%CI: 1.30-3.93). According to the World Health Organization criteria, underweight was associated with lower occurrence of cardiometabolic diseases (OR=0.09; 95%CI: 0.01-0.61), overweight with lower occurrence of neuropsychological diseases (OR=0. 47; 95%CI: 0.26-0.87), while obese status was associated with higher occurrence of osteoarticular (OR=1.95; 95%CI: 1.08-3.52) and cardiometabolic (OR=3.02; 95%CI: 1.54-5.93) diseases.

A população do estudo compreendeu 176 pessoas idosas residentes na ilha. O protocolo de coleta foi aplicado por meio de entrevista para resposta ao questionário de variáveis demográficas, sociais, clínicas e ambientais, e aos instrumentos de avaliação.

Resultados O modelo da análise escolhido possuiu duas classes, nomeadas como: “Boa autonomia e independência” e “Moderada autonomia e dependência parcial”. A maioria das pessoas idosas apresentou bom estado funcional e os fatores associados foram: pertencer ao sexo masculino, ser separado ou divorciado, viver sozinho, visitar os amigos ou parentes, ter trabalhado mais de 36 anos, ser alfabetizado, não ter deficiência visual ou auditiva, fazer uso de uma ou duas medicações e ter história de queda.

Information on patients' clinical and social indicators was obtained via structured interviews conducted 24 to 48 hours after hospitalization. All medications used by older adults prior to hospitalization were recorded, and PIM-ph were identified using the Brazilian PIM Consensus. The study considered the influence of the entire set of PIM-ph and specific PIM-ph used by these patients. The impact of PIM-ph use during hospitalization and after 30 days of this event was statistically determined by multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analysis, which included sex, age, and other clinical and functional indicators as intervening variables. Results The prevalence of PIM-ph use was 49.7% (n=158). A total of 85 (26.7%) patients died during hospitalization or within 30 days after discharge. Eighteen pharmacological classes of PIM-ph use were identified. The use of total PIM-ph, benzodiazepines (IC: 1.055-3.365, p= 0.032), digoxin(IC: 1.623-7.048, p=0.001), and loop diuretics (IC: 1.000-3.455, p=0.05) increased the relative risk of mortality independent of sex, age, clinical causes of hospitalization, frailty risk, social support, presence of confusion symptoms, polypharmacy, and in-hospital evolution of geriatric complications.
