          Abstract

          Resumo Objetivou-se buscar associação entre as multimorbidades mais frequentes em idosos no Brasil e variáveis socioeconômicas e de estilo de vida. Para tal, foram utilizados os dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde. O teste Qui-quadrado e a regressão múltipla de Poisson foram utilizados para a análise dos dados. Participaram 5.575 idosos com multimorbidade e idade média de 70,3 anos. A maioria é do sexo feminino (66,3%), brancos (56,1%), não realizam exercícios físicos (75,3%), de baixa escolaridade (40%), sem planos de saúde (65,3%), não consomem bebida alcoólica (78,7%) e não fumam (90,1%). As multimorbidades mais prevalentes foram: Hipertensão e Colesterol alto (31,3%), Hipertensão e AVC (30,9%) e Hipertensão e Diabetes (23,3%). Houve associação da primeira condição com o sexo feminino, idosos mais jovens e ao fato de não fumar. Já a segunda condição, esteve associada ao sexo feminino e à baixa escolaridade. A terceira associou-se à baixa escolaridade, aos que não realizam exercício físico e não fumam. Conclui-se que a multimorbidade em idosos brasileiros é uma condição frequente em mulheres, naqueles mais jovens e socioeconomicamente desfavorecidos. Ademais, para as principais multimorbidades as condições socioeconômicas e o estilo de vida influenciaram nas suas prevalências.

          Abstract This study aimed to identify an association between the most frequent multimorbidities in Brazilian older adults and socioeconomic and lifestyle variables. National Health Survey’s data were used. The Chi-square test and the Poisson multiple regression were used to analyze data. A total of 5,575 older adults with multimorbidity and mean age of 70.3 years participated in the study. Most of them are female (66.3%), white (56.1%), are sedentary (75.3%), with low schooling (40%), no health plan (65.3%), did not consume alcohol (78.7%) and did not smoke (90.1%). The most prevalent multimorbidities were hypertension and high cholesterol (31.3%), hypertension and stroke (30.9%) and hypertension and diabetes (23.3%). There was an association of the first condition with females, younger adults and no tobacco use. On the other hand, the second condition was associated with females and low level of schooling. The third group was associated with low schooling, sedentary lifestyle and no tobacco use. We can conclude that multimorbidity in Brazilian older adults is a frequent condition in women, younger seniors and those socioeconomically disadvantaged. Also, socioeconomic conditions and lifestyle influenced the prevalence of primary multimorbidities.

          Multimorbidity in older adults.

          M Salive (2013)
          Multimorbidity, the coexistence of 2 or more chronic conditions, has become prevalent among older adults as mortality rates have declined and the population has aged. We examined population-based administrative claims data indicating specific health service delivery to nearly 31 million Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries for 15 prevalent chronic conditions. A total of 67% had multimorbidity, which increased with age, from 50% for persons under age 65 years to 62% for those aged 65-74 years and 81.5% for those aged ≥85 years. A systematic review identified 16 other prevalence studies conducted in community samples that included older adults, with median prevalence of 63% and a mode of 67%. Prevalence differences between studies are probably due to methodological biases; no studies were comparable. Key methodological issues arise from elements of the case definition, including type and number of chronic conditions included, ascertainment methods, and source population. Standardized methods for measuring multimorbidity are needed to enable public health surveillance and prevention. Multimorbidity is associated with elevated risk of death, disability, poor functional status, poor quality of life, and adverse drug events. Additional research is needed to develop an understanding of causal pathways and to further develop and test potential clinical and population interventions targeting multimorbidity.

            Causes and consequences of comorbidity: a review.

            A literature search was carried out to identify and summarize the existing information on causes and consequences of comorbidity of chronic somatic diseases. A selection of 82 articles met our inclusion criteria. Very little work has been done on the causes of comorbidity. On the other hand, much work has been done on consequences of comorbidity, although comorbidity is seldom the main subject of study. We found comorbidity in general to be associated with mortality, quality of life, and health care. The consequences of specific disease combinations, however, depended on many factors. We recommend more etiological studies on shared risk factors, especially for those comorbidities that occur at a higher rate than expected. New insights in this field can lead to better prevention strategies. Health care workers need to take comorbid diseases into account in monitoring and treating patients. Future studies on consequences of comorbidity should investigate specific disease combinations.
