Resumen: El Convenio-Hispano Marroquí es el más antiguo de los 24 Convenios de Seguridad Social actualmente en vigor celebrados por España. Su ámbito de aplicación material se restringe al Régimen General y a los Regímenes Especiales españoles que expresamente se mencionan, no incluyéndose los Regímenes Especiales de Funcionarios. Sólo se aplica al nivel contributivo de Seguridad Social, excluyéndose las prestaciones por desempleo, las prestaciones por cese de actividad, y las de dependencia. Sin embargo, por aplicación del Acuerdo Euromediterráneo, que consagra la igualdad de trato en el ámbito de la Seguridad Social de los trabajadores marroquíes y sus familias, estos tienen derecho a las prestaciones españolas no contributivas de Seguridad Social españolas y a las de dependencia. Asimismo, el Reglamento (UE) 1231/2010 les permite totalizar y exportar las prestaciones de Seguridad Social contributivas y no contributivas dentro del territorio de la Unión Europea.Palabras clave: Convenio Hispano-Marroquí, Acuerdo Euromediterráneo, Reglamento (UE) 1231/2010, Seguridad Social, dependencia.Abstract: The Moroccan Hispanic Social Security Agreement is the oldest of the 24 Social Security Agreements concluded by Spain currently in force. Its material scope is restricted to the General Regime and to the Spanish Special Regimes that are expressly mentioned, not including the Special Regimes of Public Officials. It only applies to the Social Security contributory level, excluding unemployment benefits, benefits for cessation of activity and long-term care benefits. However, by application of the EuroMediterranean Agreement, which enshrines equal treatment in the field of Social Security for Moroccan workers and their families, they are entitled to non-contributory benefits and long-term care benefits. Moreover, Regulation (EU) 1231/2010 allows them to aggregate periods of insurance to be entitled to contributory and non-contributory Social Security benefits inside the territory of the European Union. Keywords: Hispano-Moroccan Agreement, Euro-Mediterranean Agreement, Regulation (EU) 1231/2010, Social Security, long-Term Care.

Abstract Background Functional disability and multimorbidity are common among older people. However, little is known about the relationship between functional disability and different multimorbidity combinations. We aimed to identify multimorbidity patterns and explore the associations between these patterns and functional disability. Methods We investigated a multi-stage random sample of 1871 participants aged ≥60 years and covered by long-term care insurance in Shanghai, China. Multimorbidity was defined as the simultaneous presence of two or more chronic diseases in an individual. Participants completed scales to assess basic and instrumental activities of daily living (BADL and IADL, respectively). Multimorbidity patterns were identified via exploratory factor analysis. Binary logistic regression models were used to determine adjusted associations between functional disability and number and patterns of multimorbidity. Results Multimorbidity was present in 74.3% of participants. The prevalence of BADL disability was 50.7% and that of IADL disability was 90.7%. There was a strong association between multimorbidity and disability. We identified three multimorbidity patterns: musculoskeletal, cardio-metabolic, and mental-degenerative diseases. The cardio-metabolic disease pattern was associated with both BADL (OR 1.28, 95%CI 1.16–1.41) and IADL (OR 1.41, 95%CI 1.19–1.68) disability. The mental-degenerative disease pattern was associated with BADL disability (OR 1.55, 95%CI 1.40–1.72). Conclusions Multimorbidity and functional disability are highly prevalent among older people covered by long-term care insurance in Shanghai, and distinct multimorbidity patterns are differentially associated with functional disability. Appropriate long-term healthcare and prevention strategies for older people may help reduce multimorbidity, maintain functional ability, and improve health-related quality of life.

This scoping review aimed to explore the characteristics, strengths, and gaps in research conducted in Brazilian long-term care facilities (LTCFs) for older adults. Electronic searches investigating the residents (≥60 years old), their families, and the LTCF workforce in Brazil were conducted in Medline, EMBASE, LILACS, and Google Scholar, within the timescale of 1999 to 2018, limited to English, Portuguese, or Spanish. The reference lists were hand searched for additional papers. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) was used for critical appraisal of evidence. Data were reported descriptively considering the study design, using content analysis: 327 studies were included (n = 159 quantitative non-randomized, n = 82 quantitative descriptive, n = 67 qualitative, n = 11 mixed methods, n = 6 randomized controlled trials, and n = 2 translation of assessment tools). Regardless of the study design, most were conducted in a single LTCF (45.8%), in urban locations (84.3%), and in non-profit settings (38.7%). The randomized trials and descriptive studies presented the lowest methodological quality based on the MMAT. This is the first review to provide an overview of research on LTCFs for older people in Brazil. It illustrates an excess of small-scale, predominantly qualitative papers, many of which are reported in ways that do not allow the quality of the work to be assured.
