          Abstract

          Nesta pesquisa, analisou-se a autoavaliação da saúde em idosos segundo variáveis demográficas, socioeconômicas e de comportamentos relacionados à saúde. Trata-se de estudo transversal de base populacional, com amostra por conglomerados, que utilizou dados de inquérito realizado em Campinas, São Paulo, Brasil (ISACamp 2008/2009). Foram estimadas razões de prevalências ajustadas por meio de regressão múltipla de Poisson. Participaram do estudo 1.432 idosos. A prevalência de saúde excelente/muito boa foi 24,6% e significativamente mais elevada nos idosos com maior escolaridade, maior renda, sem religião, que moravam sozinhos, tinham computador em casa, consumiam bebida alcoólica de uma a quatro vezes por mês, praticavam atividade física no lazer, não eram obesos e consumiam frutas e verduras quatro vezes ou mais por semana. Alguns dos achados são pouco encontrados na literatura e sinalizam temas relevantes para novas investigações. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de maior atenção aos segmentos socialmente mais vulneráveis e do desenvolvimento de estratégias de promoção de hábitos saudáveis entre os idosos.

          This study analyzed self-rated health in the elderly according to demographic, socioeconomic, and health-related behavior. This was a cross-sectional, population-based study with a cluster sample using data from a survey in Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil (ISACamp 2008-2009). Adjusted prevalence ratios were estimated using multiple Poisson regression. The study enrolled 1,432 elderly. Prevalence of excellent/very good health was 24.6% and was significantly higher in the elderly with more schooling, higher income, no religion, living alone, home computer, alcohol consumption 1-4 times a month, physical activity during leisure-time, no obesity, and fruit and vegetable consumption e" 4 times a week. Some of the findings are scarce in the literature and indicate relevant topics for further investigation. The results highlight the need for greater attention to socially vulnerable groups and the development of strategies to promote healthy habits in the elderly.

          Correlates of subjective health in older adults: a meta-analysis.

          Age-associated changes of subjective health and associations of subjective health with physical health, functional health, and mental health were meta-analyzed in older adults (M age > 60 years). An age-associated decline of subjective health, which was stronger in old-old samples than in young-old samples, was found. Subjective health was correlated with the indicators of objective health, but the association with physical health was stronger than with functional health. Correlations of subjective health with physical health and functional health were lower in the old-old than in the young-old samples, whereas associations of subjective health with mental health were stronger in older samples. Furthermore, the size of the association between subjective and objective health varied by the method of assessment of objective health, showing highest associations with symptom checklists and results of medical examinations due to strict protocols.

              Health care expenditure prediction with a single item, self-rated health measure.

              Prediction models that identify populations at risk for high health expenditures can guide the management and allocation of financial resources. To compare the ability for identifying individuals at risk for high health expenditures between the single-item assessment of general self-rated health (GSRH), "In general, would you say your health is Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, or Poor?," and 3 more complex measures. We used data from a prospective cohort, representative of the US civilian noninstitutionalized population, to compare the predictive ability of GSRH to: (1) the Short Form-12, (2) the Seattle Index of Comorbidity, and (3) the Diagnostic Cost-Related Groups/Hierarchal Condition Categories Relative-Risk Score. The outcomes were total, pharmacy, and office-based annualized expenditures in the top quintile, decile, and fifth percentile and any inpatient expenditures. Medical Expenditure Panel Survey panels 8 (2003-2004, n = 7948) and 9 (2004-2005, n = 7921). The GSRH model predicted the top quintile of expenditures, as well as the SF-12, Seattle Index of Comorbidity, though not as well as the Diagnostic Cost-Related Groups/Hierarchal Condition Categories Relative-Risk Score: total expenditures [area under the curve (AUC): 0.79, 0.80, 0.74, and 0.84, respectively], pharmacy expenditures (AUC: 0.83, 0.83, 0.76, and 0.87, respectively), and office-based expenditures (AUC: 0.73, 0.74, 0.68, and 0.78, respectively), as well as any hospital inpatient expenditures (AUC: 0.74, 0.76, 0.72, and 0.78, respectively). Results were similar for the decile and fifth percentile expenditure cut-points. A simple model of GSRH and age robustly stratifies populations and predicts future health expenditures generally as well as more complex models.
