RESUMO

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo transversal foi estimar a prevalência auto-reportada de hipertensãoe diabetes entre idosos usuários das unidades de atenção primária à saúde de Ribeirão Preto, Brasil, e investigar a associação entre estas condições crônicas e a atividade física e o grau de independência na realização das atividades da vida diária. O estudo incluiu 357 participantes com idade de 60 anos ou mais. A classificação da atividade física baseou-se no International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), e o Pfeffer Functional Activities Questionnaire (PFAQ) foi aplicado para avaliar a realizaçãodas atividades da vida diária. Prevalência de diabetes foi associada com o nível de atividade física, a autopercepção da saúde e o grau de independência na realização das atividades da vida diária. Não foram encontradas associações significantes entre a prevalência de hipertensão e estas variáveis. Estes achados reforçam a relevância de estratégias contínuas de manejo da diabetes nas unidades de atenção primária à saúde, baseadas na promoção de atividades físicas e ocupacionais.Abstract The aim of this cross-sectional study was to estimate the prevalence of self-reportedhypertension and diabetes among elderly users of primary healthcare facilities in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, and to investigate the association between these chronic conditions and physical activity and the degree of independence on the performance of activities of daily living. The study included 357 subjects aged 60 years or older. The classification of physical activity was based on the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the Pfeffer FunctionalActivities Questionnaire (PFAQ) was applied to assess activities of daily living. Prevalence of diabetes was associated with the level of physical activity, the self-perception of health and the degree of independence on the performance of activities of daily living. No significant associations were found between the prevalence of hypertension and these variables. These findings reinforce the relevance of continuous strategies of management of diabetes in the primary healthcare facilities based on the promotion of physical and occupational activities.
