Methods: this is a cross-sectional study and home based. The data were collected applying a questionnaire based on the model developed by the Older Americans Resources and Services. Results: 118 elderly participated in the study, being 68.6% “young”, 58% illiterate, 85.2% with income less than two minimum wages and 70.4% with non-white skin. The “old” elderly had a higher proportion of loss of the companion (p=0.002), non-communicable chronic diseases (p=0.023) and dependence to perform activities of daily living (p=0.036). Both age groups had low physical activity, excessive consumption of medicaments and chewing problems. Conclusion: the model of health facing the elderly, should not be restricted to treatment of diseases but cover their functional capacity. Objetivo: avaliar os idosos quanto ao perfil socioeconômico e condições de saúde nas faixas etárias de 60 a 75 anos de idade (idosos “jovens”) e acima de 76 anos (idosos “velhos”). Métodos: estudo transversal de base domiciliar. Coletaram-se os dados aplicando-se um questionário baseado no modelo desenvolvido pelo Older Americans Resources and Services. Resultados: participaram do estudo 118 idosos, sendo 68,6% “jovens”, 58% analfabetos, 85,2% com renda inferior a dois salários mínimos e 70,4% com pele não branca. Os idosos “velhos” tiveram maior proporção de perda do companheiro (p=0,002), doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (p=0,023) e dependência para realização de atividades de vida diária (p=0,036). Ambas faixas etárias tinham baixa atividade física, excesso de consumo de medicamentos e problemas de mastigação. Conclusão: o modelo de saúde voltado a idosos não deve se restringir ao tratamento de doenças, mas abranger sua capacidade funcional. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
