INTRODUCTION: Self-efficacy is defined as the strength of a person’s convictions in being able to perform a given activity and obtain the expected result. It may act as a potent mediator between chronic musculoskeletal pain and how older adults cope with their disabilities. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the determinants of self-efficacy beliefs and fear of physical exercise in community-dwelling older adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain. METHODS: This cross-sectional study recruited older adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Only individuals living in an urban area in southern Brazil and who reported pain for more than 3 months were included. A convenience sample was selected in a nonprobabilistic fashion. The study variables consisted of sociodemographic data; pain based on the Brief Pain Inventory and the Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs for Patients with Chronic Pain; and self-efficacy based on the Chronic Pain Self-Efficacy Scale. Also, simple questions were created for physical exercise beliefs. For statistical analysis, absolute and relative frequency, χ2 test, and Mann-Whitney U test were used as appropriate. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 193 older adults, mostly women with low level of education. Self-efficacy was best rated by older adults living alone and by those who were classified as exclusively nociceptive pain. CONCLUSION: Despite having chronic pain, older adults with higher self-efficacy feel confident in performing their tasks and have greater ability to cope with changes related to aging and to engage in self-care.

Background: Previous studies have assessed limited cognitive domains with relatively short exposure to air pollutants, and studies in Asia are limited. Objective: This study aims to explore the association between long-term exposure to air pollutants and cognition in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: This four-year prospective cohort study recruited 605 older adults at baseline (2011–2013) and 360 participants remained at four-year follow-up. Global and domain-specific cognition were assessed biennially. Data on PM2.5 (particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm diameter, 2005–2015), PM10 (1993–2015), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2, 1993–2015) were obtained from Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration (TEPA). Bayesian Maximum Entropy was utilized to estimate the spatiotemporal distribution of levels of these pollutants. Results: Exposure to high-level PM2.5 (>29.98 μg/m3) was associated with an increased risk of global cognitive impairment (adjusted odds ratio = 4.56; β = −0.60). High-level PMcoarse exposure (>26.50 μg/m3) was associated with poor verbal fluency (β = −0.19). High-level PM10 exposure (>51.20 μg/m3) was associated with poor executive function (β = −0.24). Medium-level NO2 exposure (>28.62 ppb) was associated with better verbal fluency (β = 0.12). Co-exposure to high concentrations of PM2.5, PMcoarse or PM10 and high concentration of NO2 were associated with poor verbal fluency (PM2.5 and NO2: β = −0.17; PMcoarse and NO2: β = −0.23; PM10 and NO2: β = −0.21) and poor executive function (PM10 and NO2: β = −0.16). These associations became more evident in women, apolipoprotein ε4 non-carriers, and those with education > 12 years. Conclusion: Long-term exposure to PM2.5 (higher than TEPA guidelines), PM10 (lower than TEPA guidelines) or co-exposure to PMx and NO2 were associated with poor global, verbal fluency, and executive function over 4 years.
