According to the WHO, aging is considered healthy when an individual's functional capacity and well-being are preserved. With the increase in the elderly population, there is a growing need for health policies aimed at this public. In relation to the elderly female body, there are historical and cultural disadvantages. The body image, expectations, and reflections that older women have of themselves dictate their perception of body and health. Therefore, it is important to highlight their reflections in light of reality. Understanding the perspectives of elderly women about their bodies and their awareness of ancestry regarding how this group perceives itself is crucial. This research is qualitative, cross-sectional, observational, and analytical, with a purposeful sample, comprised of elderly participants from the Open University for Seniors at the State University of Piauí, Brazil. Data collection was conducted using a semi-structured guide with open-ended questions, and the results were analyzed using Laurence Bardin's (2004) Content Analysis Technique. From the interviews, it was possible to identify the categories: "Movement, potentialities, and barriers"; "Maternal figure of reference"; "Self-learning: experience as a source of knowledge about the body"; and "Self-image, body complexes, and perspectives on body weight".

The predisposition to pressure ulcers (PU) is related to a prolonged process of disability that indicates frailty, functional decline and dependence, with malnutrition being a preponderant factor in its evolution. The present study aimed to relate the risk of developing PU with the nutritional status and frailty of elderly people institutionalised in residential structures for the elderly (ERPIs). It was a Quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was used, which included questions to characterise the participants, the Braden scale, the Mini Nutrition Assessment, and the Groningen Frailty Index. One hundred and thirty-four institutionalised users participated in the study: 86 (64.2%) were female, with an average age of 85.0 (SD=7.9) years, 94 (70.1%) widowed, and 78 (58.2%) had not completed elementary school. The results indicated that 48 (35.8%) of the elderly were at high risk of developing PU, 77 (57.4%) were classified as malnourished or at risk of malnutrition and 110 (82.1%) were frail. Assessing the risk of PU, frailty and malnutrition in institutionalised elderly people makes it possible to institute preventive measures to improve their quality of life. The prevention of PU is an indicator of the quality of care provided. Therefore, clinical practice must be based on current evidence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim is to analyze how the pandemic produced a State of exception, in which the elderly have become objects of policies instead of subjects of rights in countries such as Mexico, Chile and Spain. Through the review of the population aging processes in these countries, as an unforeseen product of modernity, the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic among the elderly population of the countries in question and the measures taken, as well as some cases at the intra-national level, make visible that political decisions regarding the elderly are based on the valuation of this group in a logic of stratification by age, especially after the first "two waves" of contagion.

This paper analyzes the representations of memory about the city of Picos-PI, in the 1980s and 1990s. It focuses the discussions on the issue of work, as well as on the spaces of sociability and leisure in the city. It is based on oral sources, with reports of elderly residents of the city and bibliographic studies on the history of the city. It makes use of the methodology of Oral History, where the analysis of the data obtained in the interviews was carried out through the crossing and interpretation of the convergent information, mentioned by the interviewees, with a view to achieving the objectives established for this research. The theoretical reflections on the concepts of city, work, elderly and memory are based on dialogue, respectively, with Pesavento (2007), Silva (2006), Camarano (2004) and Bosi (2006), among others. The work pointed out several aspects of work in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as the main places of sociability and leisure in the city. He also highlighted the continuation of the work in the "third age" as a contribution to active and healthy aging, enriching the collective experience of the city and strengthening social ties.

The search for multidisciplinary interventions in the management of obesity in the elderly population has increased in recent years. In this scenario, the act of cooking has been presented as a feasible strategy. Given the above, the objective of the present study is to make available to Brazil an adapted version of the Cooking Skills instrument, in order to instrumentalize research in the area of culinary skills. This is a methodological research of translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the instrument for the elderly population with obesity. The adaptation stage followed the methodological model of Beaton and collaborators, namely: translation, translation synthesis, back-translation, expert committee and pre-test. The semantic, idiomatic, cultural and conceptual equivalences of the instruments were analyzed, obtaining a cut-off point equal to or greater than 80% of consensus among the expert committee. The pre-test stage was performed with the application of the instrument for the elderly population with obesity. Individuals aged between 60 and 75 years and with a BMI between = 30 kg/m2 and = 34.9 kg/m2 were invited, through an online invitation open to the community. The application of the questionnaires took place from March to May 2022 in Curitiba, Paraná and had a sample of 32 individuals. No respondent reported intercurrences while completing the instrument. During the adaptation stage, no item had to be excluded and the original instruments were preserved. The questionnaire reached the cutoff point for the cited equivalences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Violence against older adults is a public health problem, being camouflaged in society due to the relationship between aggressors and victims. Objective: to analyze the profile of violence against older person in Brazil according to data from Brazilian capitals between 2011 and 2019, emphasizing the characteristics of the victims, the aggressors and the violence. Materials and Methods: This is a temporal ecological epidemiological research, collecting information from the DATASUS database of the Ministry of Health, and consulting the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN). The population was made up of older adults with reported cases of violence between 2011 and 2019. Results: The majority of cases were female, with schooling corresponding to incomplete 1st-4th grade, white, with physical violence being the most recurrent, with repetition, within the residence, and the main aggressors were the children. Discussion: The predominance of females is justified by gender/ sociocultural, the majority of victims are white, consistent with Brazilian selfdeclaration, level of education and greater distribution of uneducated older adults. Physical violence is the most prevalent, as it is more visible, favoring its identification. Older adults spend more time at home, triggering risk factors related to the aggressors, with children being more prevalent due to family structural changes. Conclusion: The study made it possible to profile violence against the old person, exposing the characteristics of this population and identifying possible risk/protective factors; the study also made it possible to identify the importance of correctly filling out the report form and the need to readjust the physical form and the information system.

The aim of this study was to understand the association between the content of physical activity goals and subjective vitality in a Portuguese elderly population, as well as to analyze the effect of measuring basic psychological needs (BPN). A sample of 299 elderly people (234 females, 65 males) residing in Portugal, aged between 60 and 90 years (M=68.43; SD=6.48) was used and a simple mediation analysis was carried out using model four of Process Macro for SPSS version 3.5. The results show that all the objectives have a significant association with the overall satisfaction of the BPN and with the subjective vitality (except for the social recognition objective). It was also found that the BPN mediate the relationship between the content of the objectives for practicing physical activity, health, development of skills, image and subjective vitality [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years the elderly population in Brazil has grown significantly. Physical exercise is an important factor for promoting health and quality of life in old age. Thus, this research aims to investigate the potential benefits that weightlifting practice can provide to the elderly in physical, psychological, cognitive, and social aspects. The sample consisted of 15 elderly individuals engaged in weightlifting in the municipality of Limoeiro do Norte, CE, Brazil. A form with open and closed-ended questions was used for data collection. The results indicate that weightlifting practice among the elderly led to significant improvements in physical health, including the management of medical conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes, as well as positive impacts on mood, sleep, and social integration. In conclusion, regular weightlifting practice benefited the physical health of the elderly and promoted emotional and social wellbeing among the sample individuals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this study was to understand the meaning of work in old age from the perspective of young and middle-aged adults in Mexico City. A total of 110 participants aged 18 to 59 years (M = 36.7, SD = 18) took part in the study. The Modified Natural Semantic Networks technique was used. The results yielded four semantic networks, and the defining terms with the highest Semantic Weight (SW) for each network core were: 1.- Tired (SW = 184) and Necessary (SW = 148); 2.- Responsible (SW = 155) and Active (SW = 150); 3.- Slow (SW = 265) and Good (SW = 218); 4.- Sadness (SW = 241) and Pride (SW = 183). It is concluded that the meaning of work in old age is characterized by the coexistence of both positive and negative beliefs, grouped into three dimensions: centrality, social norms, and the importance of work goals.

Studies about referencing contemplate procedural strategies, which help in the progression of the text and in the (re)construction of meaning. This article has as main objective to observe, in the comic book Arvorada (2017) by Walmir Orlandeli, how the referencing contributed to highlight the relevance of the figure of the elderly in the construction of a child's identity. The secondary objectives include: 1) demonstrating how the referential strategies helped in the formation of the link between Chico Bento, his grandmother Dita and the Ipê-amarelo; 2) list which anaphoras resumed the introductory references: a boy, an old woman and a yellow ipê; and 3) verify how the language of the comics contributed to the construction of Chico Bento's identity. Methodologically, it is based on theories related to referencing (CAVALCANTI; SANTOS, 2012; CAVALCANTI, 2010; KOCH, 2003; 2012; 2014; 2016; 2018; MARCUSCHI, 2008); identity (BAUMAN, 2005; WOODWARD, 2012); and the social aspects of the elderly (WHITAKER, 2010;) and the benefits of their interaction with children (FRANÇA; SILVA; BARRETO, 2010; OLIVEIRA; VIANNA; CÁRDENAS, 2010). The analysis, of an interpretive nature, points out that the introductory and anaphoric referential elements evidence the connection between grandmother and grandson, and consequently, the construction of parental identity.

This study aimed to apprehend the social representations of depression among elderly women. 64 elderly women participated in the research, divided into two groups, with a mean age of 68.6 years (SD=7.2) and 68.5 (SD=8). The free word association technique was used, with data analyzed through prototypical analysis using the Iramuteq software. The results pointed to a positive SR of aging for the group of elderly women participating in conviviality groups for elderly people and negative for elderly women who did not participate in groups. The SR of depression were equivalent in both groups. In conclusion, the necessity and importance of permanent health education about depression was identified, focusing mainly on elderly women as a target audience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The theme of sexuality in old age is full of prejudice, stigmatization and discrimination, coming from the most diverse social sectors. The desexualization of the geriatric population that permeates social ideology greatly contributes to misinformation about safe sexual practices in this age group. From this perspective, the 2019 DATASUS data reflect this scenario by mentioning that around 1059 deaths of individuals belonging to the elderly population were recorded, among the 7773 deaths caused by complications arising from HIV infection. Therefore, in view of these data, it is increasingly necessary to carry out actions aimed at health promotion and education for the elderly. With this objective, based on the experiences of medical students with the elderly in the group “Idosos da Alegria de Viver”, through the application of the Sexuality in the Third Age questionnaire and the distribution of booklets that addressed the main points about the virus HIV and AIDS it was possible to implement these educational actions for this public data. In this way, through dialogue and active listening of the research participants, the students were able to extract that about half of the interviewees expressed not knowing how to proceed with a possible HIV infection and not knowing about pre-exposure prophylaxis to HIV, thus demonstrating the gaps present in the health area. Finally, it is believed that the participation of academics in the research project provided the opportunity to experience the implementation of educational health actions for the target audience by contributing to the improvement of the doctor-patient relationship and more humanized active listening as well as dialogue intergenerational relationship between doctors under construction and their future patients. In this way, it is expected that the now-veiled voices of elderly people will be increasingly heard by everyone, including health professionals, whether during training or after training, because every human being deserves the right to listen.

The influence of income on the availability of food in the elderly living in the coverage area of the family health strategy, Mato Grosso, 2022 Introduction: The high cost of medications makes the elderly have less financial resources for access to a healthy diet, prioritizing those that fit their budget. Objective: To verify the availability of food, according to family income, in households with elderly people. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, carried out with elderly residents in areas covered by the Family Health Strategy in Várzea Grande - MT. To evaluate the food available in the homes by acquisition, the last 30 days and five options of answers were considered, being considered the food whose answer was "almost always" or "always". Results: The study population was predominantly female (73.7%), brown color (52.2%), without a partner (56.1%), with elementary school education (50.6%), family income between 1 to 2 minimum wages (62.2%), who resided in households with 2 to 3 people (52.6%) and had 3 to 4 children (32.7%). Among the elderly with income < 1 minimum wage the lowest availability of fruits (68.1%), vegetables and greens (83.8%) and English or sweet potato, cassava, cará or yam (83.3%) was observed. Among the elderly with family income ≥ 1 minimum wage, the lowest availability occurs in the same groups, but with higher percentages for fruits (75.4%), and lower percentages for vegetables (82.0%) and potatoes, cassava, cassava or yam (73.8%). Conclusion: It was concluded that regardless of income, the elderly have available both ultraprocessed foods in excess and the frequent availability of fresh and minimally processed foods, regardless of income.

Introduction – The pandemic spread of SARS-CoV-2 has led to an unprecedented outbreak of viral pneumonia. Despite the current focus of worldwide research being the characterization of post-COVID-19 sequelae, the level of functional impact that this disease causes in the elderly who have presented moderate, severe, or critical manifestations is still unknown. Objective – To identify the main sequelae on functional respiratory capacity in elderly people after COVID-19. Methods – A cross-sectional study was carried out in the community. Functional aerobic capacity (2-min step test), dyspnea (modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Questionnaire), respiratory and peripheral muscle strength (maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure, grip strength), and the Frailty Index (Clinical Fragility Scale) were assessed in 25 individuals aged ≥65 years, living in the community who have had a diagnosis of COVID-19 for up to six months, and in an equal number of elderly people with the same characteristics without a known diagnosis of COVID-19. Results – The elderly with a diagnosis of COVID-19 up to six months presented a decrease in the values of maximum inspiratory pressure (p=0.001) and maximum expiratory pressure (p=0.015), in aerobic capacity (p<0.001) with significant presence of exertion induced desaturation (p<0.001), and increased values of dyspnea perception (p=0.001) and Frailty Index (p=0.026). Conclusion – Significant changes were found in the functional respiratory capacity of elderly patients diagnosed with COVID-19 for up to six months when compared with elderly individuals without a known diagnosis of COVID-19. These results may be an important indicator in the characterization of sequelae in the elderly after infection by SARS-CoV-2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
