Introdução: Em Portugal, à semelhança de outros países, além do envelhecimento da
população e do aumento da longevidade, destaca-se o crescimento do número de
centenários. O estudo deste grupo etário de longevidade excecional reveste-se de especial
interesse para a identificação de fatores preditores de durabilidade. O grupo dos
centenários é maioritariamente constituído por mulheres, o que, entre outros fatores,
tem vindo a ser associado a fatores reprodutivos tais como a idade a que teve primeiro e
último filho, e o número de filhos. Um maior número de filhos, uma idade materna tardia
tanto no primeiro como no último filho estão associados a maior longevidade. Este
estudo pretende descrever em termos sociodemográficos as mulheres centenárias
Portuguesas e investigar a relação entre a maternidade e estado de saúde, saúde mental,
perceção de saúde e longevidade.
Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo observacional e descritivo, realizado no âmbito
do PT100 Centenários do Porto, que é o primeiro estudo de base populacional português
de caracterização da população centenária, e do seu estudo satélite PT100 Centenários
da Beira Interior. Foi utilizado o protocolo de recolha de dados do projeto PT100 -
Estudo dos Centenários do Porto que, numa perspetiva multidimensional, permite
avaliar e caracterizar o centenário em termos sociodemográficos, clínicos, psicossociais
e hábitos de vida do centenário, cuidador(es) e contexto.
Resultados: Participaram no estudo 209 mulheres centenárias, 125 da área
metropolitana do Porto e 84 da Beira Interior, com uma média de idade 101,2 (DP=1,6).
Os resultados revelam que se trata de um grupo muito heterogéneo apesar de,
globalmente, na grande maioria se destacar o baixo rendimento económico. A maioria
das mulheres (41,2%) teve de 2 a 4 filhos, teve o primeiro filho com idade inferior a 25
anos (46,6%) e o último filho com uma idade superior a 34 anos (69,4%). Os problemas
de saúde com mais relevo são os relativos à audição, visão e incontinência urinária. As
análises das questões relativas à maternidade revelaram algumas diferenças, no entanto
não forma encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas, entre a maternidade e
estado de saúde, saúde mental, perceção de saúde e longevidade.
Conclusões: Nesta amostra, não se constata que a maternidade seja um fator
relacionado com a longevidade. Este estudo não contém possíveis dados relevantes,
nomeadamente clínicos, e dados relativos à menarca e menopausa, que serão
importantes explorar noutros estudos sobre a longevidade.
Introduction: In Portugal, as in other countries, besides the ageing of population and the increase in longevity, there is a growth in the number of centenarians. The study of this age group of exceptional longevity is of particular interest for the identification of predictors of durability. The group of centenarians is mainly constituted by women and that is now, among other reasons, associated with reproductive factors such as the age at which they had their first and last children, and number of children. A greater number of children, a late maternal age in both the first and last children are associated with greater longevity. This study aims at describing Portuguese centenarian women in sociodemographic terms and health, and at investigating the relationship between maternity and health status, mental health, health perception, social support network and longevity. Method: This is an observational and descriptive study, carried out under the PT 100 Centenários do Porto, which is the first Portuguese population-based study on the characterization of the centenary population and its satellite study PT100 Centenários da Beira Interior. It is used the data capture protocol of the project PT100 – Estudo dos Centenários do Porto, which brings together a wide range of instruments that allow to evaluate and characterize the centenary in terms of sociodemographic, clinical, psychosocial and lifestyle habits of the centenary. Results: The study included 209 centenarian women, 125 from the Porto metropolitan area and 84 from Beira Interior (M=101,2; DP=1,6). The results show that it is a very heterogeneous group, despite most of those that highlight the low economic performance. Most women (41.2%) had 2 to 4 children, had their first child under the age of 25 (46.6%) and the last child over the age of 34 (69.4%). The most important health problems are those related to hearing, vision and urinary incontinence. The analysis of questions related to maternity revealed some differences, however, no statistically significant differences were found between motherhood and health status, mental health, health perception and longevity. Conclusion: In this sample, motherhood is not substantiated to be a factor related to longevity. This study does not contain possible relevant data, namely clinical, and data related to menarche and menopause, which will be important to explore in other studies on longevity.
