The objective of this study was to evaluate the physical status quality of life (QOL) and
cognitive profile of elderly participants and non - participants of a living group in the city
of Porto Franco/MA. The research was quantitative in function of the instruments that
were applied. Sixty elderly people aged over 60 years of both sexes participated in this
study. The Mini Mental State Examination, WHOQOL-OLD, the indicator of
anthropometric measures and anthropometric scale was used. The study was carried
out in the city of Porto Franco / MA. The data were collected through the application of
questionnaires. Significant results were found only for domain "Social Participation" in
favor of the elderly women attending social centers. For older men, a difference with
greater significance was observed only in the domain "Sensory Abilities" in favor of the
non-frequent group of coexistence centers. No significant differences were found when
comparing the general quality of life among those who frequent and did not attend
centers for cohabitation for the elderly. We suggest new studies with different
methodological approaches to design different intervention strategies. |
