Abstract

ZALDIVAR SUAREZ, Niria et al. Dysmobility syndrome in the nursing home "Lidia Doce". Multimed [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.4  Epub July 20, 2022. ISSN 1028-4818.

O envelhecimento da população cubana é uma das mais importantes implicações demográficas e sociais derivadas da diminuição da fertilidade, da mortalidade e do aumento da expectativa de vida; as consequências que esse fenômeno expõe à sociedade atual e seus sistemas fazem dela um afluente de grandes e complexas decisões governamentais e estatais. O objetivo deste trabalho é caracterizar a síndrome da dismobilidade em idosos pertencentes ao asilo "Lidia Doce Sánchez". Estudo descritivo transversal foi realizado durante os meses de maio a julho de 2020. The variables under study: age, sex, personal history, degree of mobility. The percentage and the mean were used. Males prevailed (72.7%) and an average age of 76.5 ± 9.9 years. The main personal history was arterial hypertension (65.9 %). The elderly evaluated in stage 1 prevail with 84 patients (63.7 %). In the group between 90-99 years the dysmobility becomes more evident in stage 3. In adults institutionalized in the nursing home "Lidia Doce" of the municipality of Bayamo the degree of dysmobility increases with age. The most prevalent comorbidity was high blood pressure and most patients were classified as stage 1.

Keywords : Older adult; Dismobility; Aging.
