          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: Correlacionar a capacidade funcional do idoso com a gravidade do trauma e compará-la nos momentos antes e após a ocorrência do trauma. MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo e observacional realizado no Serviço de Emergência. Foram incluídos 55 idosos com idade a partir de 60 anos, ambos os sexos, vítimas de trauma. Foram avaliados a incapacidade de pacientes com restrições funcionais de origem variada. Os instrumentos de pesquisa aplicados em três momentos foram: a Medida de Independência Funcional e o Injury Severity Score para avaliar a gravidade do trauma. RESULTADOS: A capacidade funcional em até 48 horas foi significativamente maior que a capacidade funcional na alta e após um mês. Quanto menor a gravidade do trauma maior a capacidade funcional do idoso. CONCLUSÃO: Os idosos apresentaram piora da capacidade funcional durante o período de internação e após um mês de na alta hospitalar.

          OBJECTIVE: Correlate functional capacity in elderly people with the severity of the trauma and compare it before and after the trauma. METHODS: Prospective observational study conducted in an emergency department, comprised of 55 elderly people, age 60 and over, of both sexes, who suffered trauma. The incapacity of patients with functional limitations of various origins was assessed. The research instruments applied at three different times were: the Functional Independence Measure and the Injury Severity Score to assess the severity of the trauma. RESULTS: Functional capacity within 48 hours of the trauma was significantly higher than functional capacity at discharge and after one month. The lower the severity of the trauma was the greater the functional capacity of the aged. CONCLUSION: The functional capacity of the elderly deteriorated during the time of hospital stay and one month after discharge.

          Population aging today: demands, challenges and innovations.

          The paper discusses the social and, particularly, the health consequences resulting from the expansion of the numbers of elderly people in Brazil over a short period. The data used were from the 1998 and 2003 Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD, the national household sampling survey), and they express an improvement in elderly people's health conditions and similar distribution of chronic diseases across all income groups. If, on the one hand, elderly people present greater disease burden and incapacities and they use healthcare services more, on the other hand, the current models for healthcare for the elderly are shown to be inefficient and high-cost. Creative and innovative structures are required, such as social centers with health assessments and treatment. Foremost on the agenda for Brazilian public policy, priority should be given to maintaining elderly people's functional capacity, with monitoring of their health conditions; preventive and differentiated actions relating to health and education; and qualified care and multidimensional comprehensive attendance.
