“…The QoL scores we reported were almost 25% lower among depressed patients (the mean CASP-16 scores were 31.6 and 24.2 in non-depressed and depressed patients, respectively). These results are significantly lower than those described in Brazilian community-dwelling older people (mean score 37.6) 31 and in older UK residents who were working beyond state pension age, whose mean CASP-19 scores were 42.2 out of a maximum of 57 points, 32 which reflects QoL impairment in the HD population.…”

Objective: Depression is highly prevalent in hemodialysis patients, but few studies have evaluated older hemodialysis patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of depression, its associated factors and its impact on quality of life in an older population on hemodialysis. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study including 173 hemodialysis patients aged 60 years or older in Recife, Brazil. Depression was evaluated using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview when depressive symptoms (according to the 5-item Geriatric Depression Scale) were present. Quality of life was assessed with the Control, Autonomy, Self-realization and Pleasure Questionnaire (CASP-16). Data were also collected on sociodemographic, laboratory (albumin, parathormone, hemoglobin, and phosphorus) and dialysis (dialysis vintage, vascular access and hemodialysis adequacy) characteristics. Results: Depression was present in 22.5% of the sample. Depressed patients presented low CASP-16 quality of life scores (31.6 vs. 24.2, p o 0.001), twice the odds of albumin levels o 3.8 g/dL (OR 2.36; 95%CI 1.10-5.07; p = 0.027) and higher parathormone levels (OR 1.06; 95%CI 1.00-1.13; p = 0.05). Conclusion: Older hemodialysis patients have a high prevalence of depression. Depressed patients presented poor quality of life, lower serum albumin and higher parathormone levels. Teams dealing with older hemodialysis patients should include depression and quality of life assessments in care protocols.

“…In contrast, in a study of women over 80 years of age conducted by Naughton et al 4 , those with a higher education level than high school and who were married had the best quality of life scores. This was also a finding in the study by Marques et al 13 , in which elderly people aged between 60 and 69 years and with more than 12 years of schooling also had a better quality of life.…”

“…According to the findings of this review, in addition to lifestyle, the factors that influence the quality of life of the elderly are: gender 9,14,15,23 , age 13,15,21,23, schooling 4,13,15,23 , ethnic group 4,23 , physical capacity 4,10,15,21-24 , diseases 4,9,21,23,24 and income 23 . In the study by Camelo et al 23 , women over 70 years of age and with less than four years of schooling had a worse health-related quality of life in the physical and mental domains of SF-12 than men.…”

Objective: to analyze Brazilian and non-Brazilian scientific production that considers the relationship between the lifestyle and quality of life of the elderly. Method: an integrative review of literature was performed in the Scopus, PubMed, Virtual Health Library and PsycINFO databases. Four cross-searches were adopted: the English synonyms of the word "elderly" ("Aged", "Aging", "Old age" and "Elderly") with the terms "Quality of life" and "Lifestyle". Results: after the adoption of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 21 articles were analyzed. Physical activity, diet, body composition, alcohol intake, smoking and social relations were the main components of lifestyle investigated. The studies show that these factors influence the perception of the quality of life of the elderly. In addition to these factors, sociodemographic characteristics, functional capacity, sleep quality and comorbidities are also factors that influence the quality of life of the elderly. Conclusion: interest in the relationship between the lifestyle and quality of life of the elderly has increased in recent years. It was observed that the lifestyle of the elderly has been investigated in several ways, however no qualitative studies were found using the search criteria adopted in this review. As future perspectives, it is hoped that tools for evaluating the lifestyle of the elderly will be developed and qualitative investigations will be carried out in order to obtain a deeper understanding of the specificities that exist in the relationship between the lifestyle and levels of quality of life in old age.

“…Dentre os fatores que aguçam o interesse dos idosos em relação às RSV, está a vontade de pertencimento e inclusão na sociedade (FERREIRA; TEIXEIRA, 2017). Portanto, problematiza-se que certos aspectos psicossociais negativos, comuns aos idosos, como: solidão, isolamento social e alienação, podem ser minimizados com o apropriado uso das RSV e Internet, possibilitando a manutenção e / ou aprofundamento dos relacionamentos familiares / sociais, melhora dos níveis cognitivos, além de ser uma ferramenta útil na obtenção de informações sobre saúde, proporcionando, um "envelhecimento ativo" com melhor qualidade de vida e bem-estar (MIRANDA; FARIAS, 2009;PETERSEN et al, 2013;MARQUES et al, 2016;KRUG et al, 2017).…”

RESUMOAtualmente, a população mundial está envelhecendo rapidamente. Em paralelo ao processo de envelhecimento, encontra-se o crescimento das novas tecnologias de comunicação e informação, como a Internet, que permite a interação entre as pessoas, inclusive idosos. No mesmo contexto, houve aumento significativo do número de idosos que estão acessando as redes sociais virtuais (RSV). Assim, este estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão da literatura (janeiro de 2008 a abril 2018) sobre a influência das RSV na saúde dos idosos. Para realizar o levantamento, foram consultadas as bases de dados: PubMed, LILACS e SciELO. Após a triagem e avaliação, segundo os critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram selecionados 34 artigos e cinco outros textos, como: leis, documentos, etc. Os artigos e textos destacam os benefícios que a inclusão digital e as RSV / Internet podem proporcionar aos idosos, dentre estes: comunicação, conhecimento, lazer, estímulo cognitivo e alteração da perspectiva de isolamento. Atuam diretamente na saúde, como subsídio para a promoção do bem-estar e da qualidade de vida, pois ajudam, por exemplo, a reduzir a depressão. No entanto, pesquisas com número significativo de idosos, bem delineadas, ou seja, que contenham risco mínimo de viés e que avaliem especificamente a intervenção RSV versus saúde dos idosos são necessárias. Além disso, os pesquisadores envolvidos nesta linha de pesquisa devem estar atentos às lacunas referentes a este assunto, como o desenvolvimento de estudos que verifiquem a longo prazo as consequências do uso das RSV / Internet na saúde dos idosos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Internet, mídias sociais, Qualidade de vida. ABSTRACTCurrently, world population is rapidly aging. Parallel to the population aging is the growth of the contemporary information and communication technologies, especially the Internet that allows interaction among people, including the elderly.
