Abstract:

Objective: To examine the receipt of financial and care-related social support, according to sociodemographic characteristics, health status and primary care model in a cohort of elderly people. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of the SIGa-Bagé cohort with a sample of 1,593 elderly individuals (≥60 years) from the urban area. Poisson regression with robust variance adjustment was used. Results: In 2008, 20.2% received financial support and 54.9% care; in 2016, 16.9% and 37.0%, respectively. In 2008, after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics and health status, the probability of receiving financial support was 62%, 99% and 48% higher among non-retired people, those unable to perform activities of daily living and those who had not gone out in the last month, respectively. In 2016, women were 83% more likely to receive financial assistance. In 2008, the likelihood of receiving care was 53% higher among elderly people unable to perform instrumental activities and, in 2016, it was 84% higher among those living in Family Health Strategy areas. Conclusion: Considering the associations found, it is necessary to strengthen financial and care support among older adults.
