          Abstract

          Resumo As ações sociais das pessoas mais velhas para assegurar o envelhecimento saudável não são, apenas e diretamente, uma emanação da política nacional ou transnacional, como a Década do Envelhecimento Saudável das Nações Unidas. Também são permeáveis às aprendizagens que os indivíduos fazem longo da história de vida através das interações com as microestruturas bio-psico-socio-culturais. Neste artigo, pretende-se compreender a vida quotidiana (prática) do envelhecimento saudável em pessoas mais velhas e, portanto, as ações sociais que, à escala do dia a dia, são adotadas em relação à saúde, à doença e aos cuidados de saúde. Os dados recolhidos numa investigação etnográfica com um grupo de 10 pessoas mais velhas (≥ 65 anos de idade) sobre as vivências quotidianas da saúde, doença e cuidados de saúde são analisados com dois modelos analíticos construídos a partir da revisão dos paradigmas históricos da saúde e das teorias sociais da dualidade e da ação social. As principais conclusões são que as ações sociais das pessoas mais velhas são determinadas pela história de vida e pela reflexividade, e assemelham-se à política do envelhecimento saudável nas dimensões que dependem do indivíduo e distinguem-se nas dimensões que dependem dos sistemas periciais de saúde.

          Abstract Older people social actions for health are not only a result of national or transnational policy, like Decade of Healthy Aging (United Nations). They are also from individuals’ learnings throughout life history by interactions with bio-psycho-socio-cultural microstructures. This article aims to understand the everyday life (practice) of healthy aging in older people and thus the social actions that, on a day-to-day scale, are adopted in relation to health, illness, and health care. Data collected by ethnographic research with 10 older people (≥ 65 years of age) about health, illness and healthcare are analyzed by two analytical models framed on historical paradigms of health and the social theories of duality and social action. The main conclusions are older people’s social actions in health are determined by life history and reflexivity; and they resemble to individual dimensions of the healthy aging policy, but they differ in the dimensions that depend on health systems.

            The Epidemiology of Social Isolation: National Health and Aging Trends Study

            Social isolation among older adults is an important but under-recognized risk for poor health outcomes. Methods are needed to identify subgroups of older adults at risk for social isolation. We constructed a typology of social isolation using data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) and estimated the prevalence and correlates of social isolation among community-dwelling older adults. The typology was formed from four domains: living arrangement, core discussion network size, religious attendance, and social participation. In 2011, 24% of self-responding, community-dwelling older adults (65+ years), approximately 7.7 million people, were characterized as socially isolated, including 1.3 million (4%) who were characterized as severely socially isolated. Multinomial multivariable logistic regression indicated that being unmarried, male, having low education, and low income were all independently associated with social isolation. Black and Hispanic older adults had lower odds of social isolation compared with white older adults, after adjusting for covariates. Social isolation is an important and potentially modifiable risk that affects a significant proportion of the older adult population.

              The complexity of loneliness

              Loneliness is a prevalent and global problem for adult populations, and a number of different studies have linked it to multiple chronic conditions, including: heart disease, lung disease, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, atherosclerosis, stroke, and metabolic disorders, such as obesity and metabolic disease. Is a major predictor of psychological problems, such as depression, psychological stress, and anxiety. Loneliness is linked to overall morbidity and mortality in adult populations. But limited interventions have demonstrated long-term effectiveness in reducing loneliness in adults with these same chronic conditions. Our research of the extant literature addresses the following question: What evidence exists regarding the relationships between loneliness and health? We focus on recent findings with respect to the links between loneliness and health. (www.actabiomedica.it)
