“…This may be linked to the fact that women have greater longevity, which gives them a higher probability of triggering chronic, incapacitating conditions such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and depression, among others. 14 In addition, there are the gender differences experienced throughout the years such as: discrimination, violence, domestic work/chores, as well as educational and professional difficulties. Such experiences lead to increased body changes, so that women deteriorate more than men when considering vulnerability, whether due to chronic conditions or to physical and psychological frailty.…”

Objective: identifying conditions of individual vulnerability in older adults and investigating the relationship with health indicators through a household survey. Method: a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted with 368 older adults attended by the Family Health Strategy. Data collection was performed through a structured interview, supported by instruments that include sociodemographic characterization, health indicators and the Vulnerable Elders Survey. A descriptive data analysis and Person's chi-square test were also performed. Results: a prevalence of 52.2% individual vulnerability was found among older adults, in addition to an association with health problems, negative self-perception of health, difficulty with mobility and in performing activities of daily living. Conclusion: identifying vulnerability among the aged population is a relevant initiative for the adequacy of health policies and programs that prioritize the promotion of aging with the maintenance of functional capacity.

“…Older men and women agreed that living alone was easier for women than for men. Quantitative studies show that men are more dependent when it comes to carrying out daily domestic tasks, although this is a cultural dependence [ 52 ]. Failing to do domestic tasks is not related to their abilities, but to the clearly observed distribution of gender-based and generational roles, particularly in their adaptation to everyday life when they lose their spouse [ 53 ].…”

It is currently acknowledged that older people prefer to live in their own home, even if they are lonely or disabled in some way. The factors that condition aging among older people members of the population living alone include the following: the existence or absence of a social network, gender, the home or place where they live, their capacity to function, and welfare and health resources. The main goal of this study was to explore the perceptions of older peoples over 75 years old about adaptation strategies and the social, gender, physical autonomy, and socio-health resource factors that determine their permanence at home. The authors used a qualitative methodology, within a critical social framework, based on the theories of Pierre Bourdieu. When the interviewees’ discourse was analyzed, four main categories were evident: (a) “A desire to stay at home”, (b) “Changes and every-day aspects of domestic life”, (c) “Reliance on social and family assistance”, and (d) “The use of social services and resources”. In synthesis, the participants questioned the benefits of the type of home life offered by members of the family. They believed that, in some cases, this option did not overcome the problem of loneliness or the need to hire assistance. The findings of the study revealed that one needs to dispel the notion of geriatric care as a form of charity, and to distinguish between the activities of caring, providing support, and offering companionship to someone. It is important to identify products designed for older people who might live for a long time.

“…A associação entre dois fatores, sexo e idade, parece ser um importante determinante para perdas motoras mais acentuadas. A literatura vem demonstrando que o avanço da idade está associado à intensificação destas perdas, tanto relacionadas aos componentes neurológicos como osteomusculares (RUBIO et al, 2013;FATORI et al, 2015 Fatores como alterações hormonais e perdas em componentes físicos, que nas mulheres se iniciam já durante a meia-idade, refletem em um declínio mais acentuado nas funções motoras, tornando-se mais evidentes a partir dos 70 anos. Nos homens, essas alterações aparecem mais tardiamente e, dessa forma, as perdas motoras são menos evidentes quando comparadas às mulheres da mesma faixa etária (ABAD-DIEZ et al, 2014;ALEXANDRE et al, 2014).…”

Resumo: Introdução: No desenvolvimento motor, o envelhecimento é representado pela retrogênese, processo que se refere às perdas gradativas nos componentes motores. Fatores intrínsecos e extrínsecos podem influenciar este processo. Objetivo: Avaliar e comparar o desenvolvimento motor de idosos considerando o sexo e a faixa etária. Método: Foram avaliados 218 idosos hígidos com idade entre 60 e 79 anos estratificados por sexo e faixa etária, constituindo quatro grupos: G1(n=64)-sexo feminino, 60-69 anos; G2 (n=45)-sexo feminino, 70-79 anos; G3 (n=66)-sexo masculino, 60-69 anos; G4 (n=43)-sexo masculino, 70-79 anos. O instrumento utilizado para coleta dos dados foi a Escala Motora para Terceira Idade (EMTI). Na análise estatística, empregou-se teste H de Kruskal Wallis e post hoc Dunn. Resultados: Observou-se que a maioria dos idosos apresentou desenvolvimento motor dentro da normalidade. O grupo do sexo feminino, 70-79 anos, foi o que apresentou valores médios inferiores (͞ x=87,7; DP=12,4), sendo diferente estatisticamente quando comparado os grupos. Nas áreas motoras, diferenças estatísticas significantes foram encontradas entre os grupos na Coordenação Global (p=0,001), Equilíbrio (p=0,001) e Esquema Corporal (p=0,012); nesta análise, as mulheres alcançaram pontuações inferiores aos homens na maioria das áreas avaliadas. Conclusão: As mulheres idosas com idade mais avançada apresentaram maior comprometimento no desenvolvimento motor quando comparadas aos homens idosos e mulheres idosas mais jovens.
