Resumo: |
Several changes have occurred on humanity in the last decades, the aging of the world population and Brazilian population. Due to the drop in mortality rates and increased life expectancy at birth, it has also increased the prevalence of chronic diseases due to transmissible diseases in developing countries. The overall objective of the study was analyze the relation between the characteristics of access to health care and assistency provided in primary care to adults and seniors of remaining quilombola communities, associated to the epidemiological and socio-cultural profile of the community where they live. A census was conducted along with community health agents, and by the end 198 remnants of quilombola communities, adults and seniors, that is being 45 years old or more, residents of the quilombola communities of Piauí, between March and December 2011. It was performed an analysis (fasting peripheral blood, and analyzed it to test the levels of HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose), anthropometric data (height, weight, arterial pressure, waist circumference), completed questionnaires regarding sociodemographic data, lifestyle and access to healthcare. Data were scanned into a database developed by TeleForm and analyzed using the Epi Info software, version 3.5.1. The botanical material was collected to get to know the practices and natural and traditional health resources in their communities. The study was approved by the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul Ethics Committee. The results of this study demonstrated that the prevalence of MS was 55.4% in the quilombolas surveyed, and more prevalent in females (p <0.001). the distance between home and the health unity greater than 5 km was significantly important for a smaller chance to prefer non-traditional health knowledge, the geographical distance interfered with the access to healthcare of these communities. Therefore, it is necessary to invest in the construction of social equipment designed to meet their needs based on the historical context and where these communities live, especially in public policies of preventive health education, professional qualification of the Family Health staff, since it is in this strategy that the government investment has had the highest concentration. |
