Resumo
Objetivo: Examinar os padrões e interconexões entre dependência funcional e risco sociofamiliar em pessoas idosas, e identificar padrões críticos de coocorrência por meio de análise de redes, dentro de uma abordagem gerontológica. Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizada uma análise transversal com dados do Estudo ARENA, envolvendo 196 idosos em Bucaramanga, Colômbia. A capacidade funcional foi avaliada pelos índices de Barthel e Lawton; o risco sociofamiliar foi medido com a Escala de Avaliação Sociofamiliar de Gijón. As atividades básicas e atividades instrumentais da vida diária com maiores taxas de dependência foram cruzadas com cinco domínios de risco social. Uma matriz de coocorrência foi construída e visualizada com o software VOSviewer. Resultados: Limitações funcionais foram observadas em 59.69% dos participantes nas atividades básicas da vida diária e em 44.90% nas atividades instrumentais da vida diária. O risco sociofamiliar esteve presente em 47.45%, especialmente nos domínios de dificuldades econômicas e baixo apoio social. A análise de rede identificou três agrupamentos funcional-sociais, com destaque para uso de escadas, uso do telefone e controle urinário como nós centrais conectados a múltiplos riscos sociais. Essas interseções sugerem que o declínio funcional está inserido em estruturas mais amplas de vulnerabilidade social. Conclusão: A avaliação funcional em idosos deve incorporar os domínios socioambientais para evitar cuidados fragmentados. A análise de redes de coocorrência é uma ferramenta inovadora para identificar áreas críticas de intervenção e apoiar abordagens complexas em gerontologia e geriatria. Os achados apoiam a integração de estratégias interdisciplinares e sensíveis ao contexto para promover autonomia e dignidade no envelhecimento.
