Este estudo pretendeu verificar a influência das condições sociais – residir em lar ou frequentar centros de
convívio – no declínio mnésico, risco de demência e depressão e no envolvimento social de adultos idosos da
Ilha Terceira-Açores. Foram administradas a Escala de Memória de Weschler – 3ª Edição, a Escala de
Avaliação da Demência – 2, a Escala de Depressão Geriátrica – 15 e a Escala de Envolvimento Social. Uma
análise de variância multivariada revelou que os adultos idosos frequentadores de centros de convívio tiveram
melhores resultados do que os institucionalizados relativamente ao declínio mnésico, risco de demência,
sintomas depressivos e envolvimento social. Regressões hierárquicas mostraram a condição social como
fator importante do declínio mnésico e risco de demência; o envolvimento social como principal fator
associado à depressão; e a idade e o sexo como os principais fatores relacionados com o envolvimento social.
Estes resultados sugerem a importância de atividades que promovam o envolvimento social de adultos idosos
institucionalizados.
This study aimed to verify the influence of social conditions – living in nursing homes or attending social centres – on memory decline, risk of dementia and depression and social involvement of elderly living on Terceira Island - Azores. Different assessment scales were administered: Weschler Memory Scale – 3rd Edition, Dementia Rating Scale – 2, Geriatric Depression Scale – 15, and Social Involvement Scale. A multivariate analysis of variance showed that elderly participating in social centres had more positive outcomes than institutionalised ones regarding memory decline, risk of dementia, depressive symptoms, and level of social involvement. A hierarchical regression analysis revealed that social condition was a factor for memory decline and risk of dementia, that the principal factor associated with depression was social involvement, and that the main factors related to social involvement were age and gender. These results suggest the importance of activities that promote social involvement in institutionalised elderly individuals.
