RESUMO:

The current society is in constant process of aging, thus triggering a significant increase in the number of elderly people. In this sense, the present study aimed to analyze the prevalence and associated factors to multimorbidities and negative self-evaluation of health in elderlies in a municipality in the interior of the Brazilian Northeast. This is a transversal study with a quantitative, descriptive and inferential approach. The target group was 181 elderly people from the city of Pau dos Ferros, registered in the Family Health Strategies (ESF) of the municipality and that were randomly selected and proportional to the number of elderly registered in each ESF team in the municipality. Of the 181 elderly people, belonging to the first stage of the research, there was a loss of 33 elderly (18.2%). The interviewer in charge was a resident of each elderly woman, drawn with the Free and Informed Consent Form (TCLE) for the application of a questionnaire from the "Health, well-being and aging" survey (SABE). Data collection was performed from January to September, 2018. The Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) was used to analyze the data, whose description was based on absolute and percentage frequency values. The inferential analysis was based on the Chi-square test for a significance level of 5% and, later, a logistic regression analysis, whose odds ratio was converted to the prevalence ratio. In the sample, female superiority was found (64.2%). It was observed that the age group between 70 and 79 years presented a frequency of 40.5% of the elderly, influencing the characterization of a municipality with an already marked aging process. Regarding the dependent variables, one has to consider two forms of conceptualization for the multimorbidities. The first one is the one that considers the presence of two chronic diseases, and the second one is based on three chronic diseases. For the first condition, a prevalence of 66.2% (95% CI 58.6 - 73.8%) was found, with a significant association with hypertension, polypharmacy, difficulty in accessing health services, and self-evaluation of memory. For multimorbidity characterized by three or more pathologies, a percentage of 40.5% (95% CI 32.6 - 48.4%) was obtained, with significant associations for polypharmacy, memory self-evaluation and hypertension. In addition, dependent self - rated health had a negative self - assessment prevalence of 73% (CI 95% 66 - 80%) with associations with the following variables: multimorbidities with 3 more pathologies, polypharmacy, oral health and number of caregivers. It is evident, therefore, how much the disease health process is influenced by the most varied factors, whether biological or not, evidencing the need for a strategy that discusses the social determinants as an important aspect to be taken into account in the care. Not unlike the other studies, SABE Pau dos Ferros has produced results that will support the execution of a strategic planning aimed at the elderly public.
