| Sumario: | Objective: to analyze the relationship between the risk factors and the elderly people knowledge about chronic kidney disease. Methods: this study is a cross-sectional research with 100 elderly enrolled in basic units, using a semi-structured interview. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: most elderly people had adequate knowledge about the disease and prevention, but poor knowledge about hemodialysis. Regarding the risk factors in the elderly investigated, increased are highlighted and statistical significance of waist circumference (p=0.049), smoking (p=0.022) and alcohol consumption (p=0.013). Conclusion: relationships between risk factors as smoking, alcoholism, increased abdominal circumference, and the knowledge of the elderly about chronic kidney disease were identified. Objetivo: analisar a relação entre os fatores de risco e o conhecimento dos idosos sobre a doença renal crônica. Métodos: estudo transversal, realizado com 100 idosos cadastrados em unidades básicas, utilizando entrevista semiestruturada. Os dados foram analisados com recurso à estatística descritiva e inferencial. Resultados: a maioria dos idosos detinha conhecimento adequado sobre a doença e a prevenção, mas conhecimento deficiente sobre a hemodiálise. Em relação aos fatores de risco presentes nos idosos destacam-se os valores aumentados e com significância estatística da circunferência abdominal (p=0,049), tabagismo (p=0,022) e o etilismo (p=0,013). Conclusão: identificaram-se relações entre os fatores de risco tabagismo, etilismo, circunferência abdominal aumentada, e o conhecimento dos idosos sobre a doença renal crônica. |
