This article describes the socioeconomic profile and functional capacity of older persons living in rural areas in the Municipality of Pelotas-RS, Brazil based on the following sociodemographic characteristics: age, sex, income, schooling and chronic diseases. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted between July and October 2014 using a sample of 820 older persons. We used the Pearson chi square test of homogeneity for nominal variables and the test for trend for ordinal variables. The majority of the sample was made up of women aged,60-69 years, who were white and living with a partner. With regard to functional capacity to perform basic activities of daily living (BADL), 81.8% of individuals were classified as independent, while 54.6% were deemed completely independent for performing instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). Variables such as sex (male), age (60-69 years age group) and not having any heart problems were closely associated with the ability to perform BADL , while the ability to perform IADL was associated with age (60-69 years age group), income (1-2 salaries), education (5-8 years), and no osteoporosis. The majority of the people assessed by this study were able to perform both basic and instrumental activities of daily living.
本文基于年龄、性别、收入、受教育程度和慢性病等社会人口学特征，描述了巴西南里奥格兰德州佩洛塔斯市农村地区老年人的社会经济概况和功能能力。2014年7月至10月间进行了一项横断面分析研究，样本为820名老年人。对于名义变量，我们使用了Pearson卡方同质性检验；对于有序变量，我们使用了趋势检验。样本中的大多数是60 - 69岁的白人女性，且与伴侣同住。关于进行日常生活基本活动（BADL）的功能能力，81.8%的个体被归类为独立，而54.6%的个体在进行日常生活工具性活动（IADL）方面被认为完全独立。诸如性别（男性）、年龄（60 - 69岁年龄组）以及没有任何心脏问题等变量与进行BADL的能力密切相关，而进行IADL的能力与年龄（60 - 69岁年龄组）、收入（1 - 2份工资）、教育程度（5 - 8年）以及没有骨质疏松症有关。本研究评估的大多数人能够进行日常生活的基本活动和工具性活动。
