ABSTRACT:
The extension project “Integration of the teaching, research and extension process in the context of adult and elderly health”, from UNICENTRO in partnership with the Municipal Health Department of Guarapuava-PR, works in Primary Health Care (PHC) to reactivate the follow-up of inactive adults and elderly people with diabetes mellitus (DM), through comprehensive clinical assessment, personalized care, community engagement and encouragement of self-management of the chronic condition. In a local scenario with more than 12,000 diabetics and only 23% in regular follow-up, the study analyzed cardiovascular risk factors (CRF), metabolic syndrome (MS) and self-perception of health. The sample showed a predominance of females, an average age of 65.8 years, low education and income between 1 and 2 minimum wages. Among the participants, 49.7% presented three or more CRF, 52% high cardiovascular risk and 87.4% abdominal obesity, associated with other MS criteria. Regarding self-perception, 60.9% rated their health as good or very good and 39.1% as fair or poor, the latter being associated with a greater accumulation of cardiovascular risk factors and worse functional condition; 71.8% reported a need for health education on lifestyle habits. It is concluded that the identified profile reflects clinical and social vulnerabilities that require integrated interventions, combining continuous screening, personalized care plans, health education, support for self-management, strengthening of community networks and expansion of access to healthy food and physical activity, aiming to improve clinical indicators and the subjective perception of health, reducing inequalities and strengthening primary health care.
