This study aimed to describe the simultaneity of risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases among the elderly (≤ 60 years) in a city in Southern Brazil. This was a cross-sectional, population-based study of 1,451 elderly in 2013. Cluster analysis was applied to selected risk factors (smoking, alcohol consumption, excess weight, and physical inactivity). Logistic regression was used to assess the association between simultaneity of risk factors and socio-demographic variables. The most frequent cluster in men (18.1%) and women (30.7%) was physical inactivity + excess weight. The cluster alcohol consumption + excess weight exceeded the expected level in men (O/E = 1.27; 95%CI: 1.01; 1.59) and women (O/E = 1.72; 95%CI: 1.35; 2.20). The presence of two or more risk factors in the elderly population (88.1%) points to the need for specific interventions for this population to fight risk factors simultaneously rather than separately.
本研究旨在描述巴西南部某城市60岁及以下老年人慢性非传染性疾病风险因素的并存情况。这是一项基于人群的横断面研究，于2013年对1451名老年人进行了调查。对选定的风险因素（吸烟、饮酒、超重和缺乏身体活动）进行了聚类分析。采用逻辑回归分析评估风险因素并存与社会人口学变量之间的关联。男性（18.1%）和女性（30.7%）中最常见的聚类是缺乏身体活动+超重。饮酒+超重聚类在男性（观察值/期望值=1.27；95%置信区间：1.01；1.59）和女性（观察值/期望值=1.72；95%置信区间：1.35；2.20）中超过了预期水平。老年人群中存在两种或更多风险因素（88.1%）表明需要针对该人群采取特定干预措施，以便同时而非分别对抗风险因素。
