Falls are accidental events, considered common in all phases of life. However, when it happens with aged people, these events are worrying because can cause fractures, immobility and functional declining, insecurity in going out or walk alone with consequent social isolation and possible depression, culminating, in most cases, with the need of institutionalization and even occurrence of death. These events results from a combination of physical, psychological, social and environmental factors that are present on aging process. This study aims to: verify the prevalence of falls between elderly in the city of São Paulo in 2000 and 2006, verify the incidence of falls in 2006 and its determinants factors, identify the elderly called "fallers", which means, elderly people which referred falls in 2000 and 2006, and its associated factors and to verify the impact of falls on the deaths occurrences in this group. This study is part of SABE Study-Saúde, Bem-Estar e Envelhecimento (Health, Well-being and Aging) and is characterized as a longitudinal, exploratory, descriptive research with quantitative approach. To verify the prevalence, elderly that referred fall during 12 months before the interview at the two moments of data collect were part of the sample, for the incidence, the elderly that not referred fall in 2000, but referred in 2006 and for the "fallers" the ones who referred falls in both periods concomitantly. To analyze the impact of falls on the mortality, it was considered the elderly that referred fall in 2000 and died between the two data collection. It was possible to verify the increase of the prevalence of falls from 28.6% to 31.1% in 2000 and 2006 respectively. The incidence of falls in 2006 was 19.7% and, among the analyzed variables, none of them was significant for female sex, and for male sex, the age (70 to 79 years old) and the presence of diseases represented RRR of 2.4 and 3.1 respectively. For the "fallers", the determinant factors were advanced old age (80 and more years old for both sex) and the presence of diseases (for women). The found RRR for age were 2.2 for women and 3.04 for men and the presence of diseases obtained RRR of 5.3 for women. It was yet verified that the falls increases the risk of deaths in a RRR of 1.4. These results reinforces the necessity of implementation of public politics focused on early prevention of this event in order to avoid it, since it can contribute not only with early deaths but to worst quality of life of the aged people.

he problem of aging at work has been discussed at national and international levels, given its impact on productivity and the management of public policies on worker health. To verify the association between chronological aging, work ability for work and productivity in nursing workers, and to understand the expectations of nursing workers aged 45 years or older about chronological aging and work capacity. Epidemiological study of a cross-sectional study, with a quantitative-qualitative approach, developed at a Public Hospital in the state of São Paulo, with nursing team workers aged 45 and over. The quantitative data were collected through a form containing sociodemographic and professional data, a questionnaire on Work Ability Index and a questionnaire on work productivity in activities: general health V 2.0; and the qualitative data were collected through an individual interview with the nursing workers where they were transcribed and submitted to the discourse analysis technique proposed by Minayo (2014). 264 workers were elected and of these, 211 (79.9%) participated in the study. The mean age was 53 years (dp = 4.3 years), 188 (89.1%) women, 57.8% married or with a partner, 50.7% with higher education level. The average time in the nursing profession was 25.5 years (dp = 6.6 years), 65.4% worked as a nurse assistant and technician, 54% had a family income from nine minimum wages (R $ 8.4433,00). The average of the Work Ability Index score was considered good, with 37.8 points, but 41.7% with a Capacity Index for inadequate work. The predominant health problems were musculoskeletal diseases. Productivity showed an average score of 24.7% for "damage to daily activities due to health", 22.7% for "total work injury due to health" and 21.2% for "presentism". There was a statistically significant association between productivity and work capacity (p <0.001) where productivity is among those with inadequate capacity (moderate and low). In the analysis of the qualitative data, three categories were constructed where the participants perceive their aging, their limitations and are concerned with their physical problems; believe that they can no longer produce, are afraid of dependence, and a desire and satisfaction to carry on their activities; a feeling of sadness when they think about preparing themselves, planning their aging, they worry, but they do not want to think about it. , some workers intend to stop working, but others wanted to continue working. Only a few had a perspective of planning and preparing for their aging. It is important to identify the profile of nursing workers in the aging phase so that the Institutions promote strategies and interventions aimed at this age group to prevent early retirement and promote a better longevity.
