Resumo
Introdução - As quedas constituem uma das principais causas de morbilidade na população sénior. A identificação e caracterização dos fatores causais é basilar na intervenção.
Objetivo - Caracterizar a população de indivíduos com 65 anos ou mais de idade, da comunidade, inscritos em universidades sénior, do ponto de vista sociodemográfico e dos fatores de risco e risco de queda.
Metodologia –Estudo transversal observacional. Incluídos indivíduos com 65 ou mais anos de idade. Dados recolhidos por questionário de autopreenchimento e avaliação de risco de queda e capacidade funcional e cognitiva com instrumentos específicos: FES-I TUG-C, FRT e FAB.
Resultados – Avaliados 128 participantes dos 65-92 anos de idade (74.95±6.13), 74.2% mulheres. 31,3% tem história de queda no último ano; 75% toma mais de um medicamento por dia; 97,7% refere comorbilidades crónicas; 14.8% e 13.3% apresentam TUG-C e FRT, respetivamente, compatíveis com risco muito elevado de queda. 74,2% tem medo de cair moderado ou elevado e 49,2% tem disfunção marcada das funções executivas
Discussão – A elevada percentagem de fatores de risco, a prevalência de quedas anteriores, polimedicação, comorbilidades crónicas e baixo nível de atividade física, risco psicossocial e baixos níveis de escolaridade são sinais de risco. O elevado medo de cair, desempenho reduzido nos testes de equilíbrio estático e dinâmico e o declínio cognitivo evidenciam a importância de uma avaliação multidimensional do risco de queda.
Conclusão – Este estudo permitiu um olhar mais consistente sobre a problemática do equilíbrio e risco de queda e possibilitou sinalizar e analisar os principais fatores de risco de queda, em idosos na comunidade numa região do Algarve.
