| Resumo: | Human aging is a natural, dynamic and progressive process accompanied by several
physiological, morphological, physical, biochemical and psychological changes that occur
continuously over time. of deaths from infectious and parasitic diseases and increasing
mortality from violent events described as external causes. Currently, external causes constitute
a relevant public health problem, as they impact the quality of life of individuals and cause
hospitalization and/or rehabilitation, disability or death. However, these are preventable events
that can be avoided, with the Primary Health Care network having a fundamental, effective and
efficient role in acting on the main causes and health problems, such as external causes. Thus,
this dissertation aims to investigate mortality from external causes in elderly people in Brazil.
Two studies were carried out, the first of the ecological type using secondary data, which aimed
to analyze the trend of mortality from external causes in elderly people in Brazil in the time
interval between the years 2000 to 2019. And the second study referring to a protocol scope
review whose objective was to map and describe the scientific evidence on the role of Primary
Health Care in the face of mortality from external causes in the elderly, which is based on the
Joanna Briggs Institute Review Manual, 2015. The first study showed an upward trend in
mortality rates from external causes in elderly people in Brazil during the study period. The
interval between 2000 and 2014 was the period in which the coefficients of mortality from
external causes in the elderly increased the most, with an average annual percentage change
(APC) of 1.83 (95%CI: 1.6; 2.0). The second study aims to present the main evidence of
research on the subject, allowing the identification of gaps in the literature, which can guide
actions for coping with external causes in the elderly through Primary Health Care. The trend
analysis of mortality from external causes in the elderly in Brazil showed a significant increase
over the period studied (2000 to 2019). This finding reinforces the need for investments in
public health and in actions aimed at this group of people. The development of a scope review
protocol involving the performance of PHC in mortality from external causes in the elderly
contributes to the summary of the scientific production published up to the moment, allowing
the development of new knowledge about aspects not yet addressed that strengthen the performance of professionals working in PHC in more assertive behaviors to reduce the risk of
mortality of elderly people from external causes. |
