          Abstract

          RESUMO: Objetivo: Analisar os diferentes perfis de utilização de serviços odontológicos por idosos brasileiros e sua possível associação com fatores sociodemográficos, de comorbidades, de funcionalidade e autopercepção em saúde bucal. Métodos: Estudo transversal de base populacional, utilizando dados secundários da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde de 2013. A amostra foi composta de 2.969 idosos. A Análise de Classes Latentes foi utilizada para a construção da variável dependente “perfil de utilização dos serviços odontológicos”. As variáveis independentes formaram três blocos: sociodemográfico; comorbidades; e funcionalidades e autopercepção em saúde bucal. O Teste de Rao-Scott e a Análise de Resíduos Padronizados testaram a associação. Para mensurar o efeito das covariáveis, foram estimadas as odds ratios por meio de modelo múltiplo hierarquizado de regressão logística multinomial. O nível de significância foi de 5%. Resultados: Três classes latentes foram identificadas: perfil de desembolso direto, perfil de plano de saúde e perfil do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Idosos da cor branca apresentaram associação aos perfis desembolso direto e planos de saúde. O perfil plano de saúde esteve mais associado ao estado civil casado ou que moram com cônjuge. No modelo múltiplo, a baixa escolaridade apresentou associação ao perfil de usuários do SUS, e idosos com diagnóstico de câncer, ao perfil plano de saúde. Autoperceber a saúde bucal como ruim ou muito ruim aumentou a chance de pertencer ao perfil SUS. Conclusão: A Análise de Classes Latentes mostrou-se potente estratégia para compreensão sutil e detalhada do perfil da utilização de serviços odontológicos e sua relação com fatores associados.

          ABSTRACT: Objective: To analyze the different profiles of dental service use by the Brazilian elderly and their possible association with sociodemographic factors, comorbidities, functionality and self-perception of oral health. Methods: Cross-sectional population-based study, using secondary data from the National Health Survey (PNS) of 2013. The sample size was 2,969 elderly individuals. Latent Class Analysis was used to construct the dependent variable “profile of dental service use” from questions related to this profile. The independent variables formed 3 blocks: sociodemographic; comorbidities; functionalities and self-perception of oral health. The Rao-Scott Test and Standardized Residue Analysis tested the association. To measure the effect of covariates, Odds Ratio was estimated using a multiple hierarchical model of multinomial logistic regression. Significance level was 5%. Results: Three latent classes were identified: Direct Disbursement Profile, Health Plan Profile and the Unified Health System (SUS) Profile. White elderly people were associated with the Direct Disbursement and Health Plans profile. The Health Plan profile was more associated with the married marital status or living with a spouse. In the multiple model, low schooling was associated with the profile of SUS users and elderly people diagnosed with cancer with the Health Plan profile. Self-perceiving oral health as bad or very bad increased the chances of belonging to the SUS profile. Conclusion: Latent Class Analysis proved to be a powerful strategy for a subtle and detailed understanding of the profile of dental service use and its relationship with associated factors.

              The Brazilian health system: history, advances, and challenges.

              Brazil is a country of continental dimensions with widespread regional and social inequalities. In this report, we examine the historical development and components of the Brazilian health system, focusing on the reform process during the past 40 years, including the creation of the Unified Health System. A defining characteristic of the contemporary health sector reform in Brazil is that it was driven by civil society rather than by governments, political parties, or international organisations. The advent of the Unified Health System increased access to health care for a substantial proportion of the Brazilian population, at a time when the system was becoming increasingly privatised. Much is still to be done if universal health care is to be achieved. Over the past 20 years, there have been other advances, including investments in human resources, science and technology, and primary care, and a substantial decentralisation process, widespread social participation, and growing public awareness of a right to health care. If the Brazilian health system is to overcome the challenges with which it is presently faced, strengthened political support is needed so that financing can be restructured and the roles of both the public and private sector can be redefined.
