A avaliação da dispneia tem sido feita por meio de instrumentos como escala de Borg modificada, a escala de cores e a escala do Medical Research Council modificada (mMRC). O objetivo deste estudo foi correlacionar a frequência respiratória com a sensação de dispneia, através das escalas citadas, correlacioná-las entre si e verificar se o grau de alfabetização influenciou na resposta do paciente sobre a sensação de dispneia. Para avaliar o esforço físico utilizou-se o teste de caminhada de seis minutos. Este foi um estudo prospectivo, transversal e analítico-descritivo composto por 124 voluntários com diagnóstico de doença pulmonar. Para comparar as variáveis categóricas entre os grupos foram utilizados os testes Qui-Quadrado e exato de Fisher. Para comparar as variáveis contínuas foi utilizado o teste Kruskal-Wallis e para análise de correlação foi utilizado o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman. A idade média foi de 55,9 (± 13,08 anos), 14% eram analfabetos. Nos tempos de análise houve correlação positiva entre as escalas mMRC e Borg, r = 0,43, r = 0,61 e r = 0,55. Entre as escalas mMRC e Cores, observou-se correlação negativa. Concluiu-se que a frequência respiratória correlacionou-se com as três escalas. O grau de alfabetização não modificou a resposta do paciente em relação à sensação de dispneia.Palavras-chave: dispneia, fisioterapia, avaliação.

Current State

The purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of healthcare in Russia. Scientific novelty of the study: the authors suggest that the efficiency of the health care system depends on the state of such indicators of public health as life expectancy and healthy life expectancy. Life expectancy is an integrated demographic indicator that characterizes the number of years that a person would live on average, provided that the age-specific mortality rate of a generation would be at the level for which the indicator was calculated throughout life. The indicator ‘healthy life expectancy’ is formed by subtracting the number of years of unhealthy life (due to chronic diseases, disabilities, mental and behavioral disorders, etc.) from the life expectancy indicator. Results: the article presents an analysis of the current state of Russian healthcare based on statistical data provided by the Federal State Statistics Service, the World Health Organization, and world rankings. Attention is focused on the perceptions of Russians about the quality of medical services and Russian healthcare. Conclusions about the current state of health care in Russia are formulated by the authors, based on a secondary analysis of statistical data, as well as data from sociological research presented by leading Russian sociological centers.

Abstract Recent research has documented increasing education inequality in life expectancy among U.S. adults; however, much is unknown about other health status changes. The objective of study is to assess how healthy and unhealthy life expectancies, as classified by common chronic diseases, has changed for older adults across education groups. Data come from the Health and Retirement Study and National Vital Statistics. We created prevalence-based life tables using the Sullivan method to assess sex-specific life expectancies for stroke, heart disease, cancer, and arthritis by education group. In general, unhealthy life expectancy increased with each condition across education groups. However, the increases in unhealthy life expectancy varied greatly. While stroke increased by half a year across education groups, life expectancy with diabetes increased by 3 to 4 years. In contrast, the evidence for healthy life expectancy provides mixed results. Across chronic diseases, healthy life expectancy decreased by 1 to 3 years for respondents without a 4-year degree. Conversely, healthy life expectancy increased for the college educated by .5 to 3 years. While previous research shows increases in life expectancy for the most educated, trends in life expectancy with chronic conditions is less positive: not all additional years are in lived in good health. In addition to documenting life expectancy changes across education groups, research assessing health of older adults should consider the changing inequality across a variety of health conditions, which will have broad implications for population aging and policy intervention.
