to analyze the association of self-reported skin color/race with biopsychosocial indicators in older adults.
cross-sectional study conducted with a total of 941 older adults from a health micro-region in Brazil. Data were collected at home with instruments validated for the country. Descriptive analysis and binary, multinomial and linear logistic regression (p<0.05) were performed.
Most older adults were self-declared white color/race (63.8%). Black color/race was a protective factor for negative (OR=0.40) and regular (OR=0.44) self-rated health perception and for the indicative of depressive symptoms (OR=0.43); and it was associated with the highest social support score (β=3.60) and the lowest number of morbidities (β=-0.78).
regardless of sociodemographic and economic characteristics, older adults of black color/race had the best outcomes of biopsychosocial indicators.
分析老年人自报的肤色/种族与生物心理社会指标的关联。
这是一项在巴西一个卫生次区域进行的横断面研究，共纳入了 941 名老年人。数据是通过针对该国的验证工具在老年人家中收集的。进行了描述性分析以及二元、多项和线性逻辑回归分析（p<0.05）。
大多数老年人自认为是白色肤色/种族（63.8%）。黑色肤色/种族是负面（OR=0.40）和规律（OR=0.44）自评健康感知以及抑郁症状指标的保护因素（OR=0.43）；并且与最高的社会支持评分（β=3.60）和最低的患病数量（β=-0.78）相关。
无论社会人口学和经济特征如何，黑色肤色/种族的老年人在生物心理社会指标方面的结果最好。
