Decline In Social Activities Research Articles

Menilik Dampak Kebijakan Peningkatan PPN 11% Pada Masyarakat Indonesia Sesuai UU No. 7 Tahun 2021 tentang Harmonisasi Peraturan Perpajakan

One of the important fiscal instruments for Indonesia's state revenue is taxes, which are used to achieve development targets. The decline in social activity due to the pandemic has impacted income tax receipts, potentially weakening the country's taxation sector and overall economic growth. Government regulations refer to unstable economic conditions so that new policies have been realized and passed in accordance with UU No.7 Tahun 2021 tentang kenaikan pajak pertambahan nilai (PPN) menjadi 11 %. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the 11% PPN increase policy which took effect on April 1, 2022 for the people of Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative method of literature study, using secondary data sources obtained from books, supporting articles, scientific papers, previous studies and other literature. The increase in PPN rates has an impact on all levels of society, especially those in the lower middle class because PPN is applied objectively, regardless of the status or income of the tax object. But in reality, this policy has a positive effect on Indonesia's economic growth followed by an increase in public consumption, so that tax revenue is able to make a significant contribution to state revenue.

Social activity in older people with visual impairment

Introduction. A potential factor that significantly reduces the social activity of older people is visual impairment due to various diseases. Visual impairment caused by cataract and diabetic retinopathy changes the social activity of people with the above-mentioned pathology, but it is extremely rarely analyzed by specialists and researchers, which does not allow identifying the limitations of patients in the social sphere and providing targeted medical and social care.
 The purpose of the study is to study social activity in older patients with diabetic retinopathy and cataract. 
 Materials and methods. According to a special questionnaire, one hundred fifteen 60–74 years patients suffered from cataract and diabetic retinopathy and 60–74 years 102 people without ophthalmic diseases were surveyed based on the S.N. Fedorov National medical research center «MNTK Eye Microsurgery», Tambov.
 Results. The average score of social activity in patients with cataract and diabetic retinopathy is statistically was found to be significantly lower, amounting to 3.10 ± 0.08 points versus 5.38 ± 0.09 points in people without ophthalmopathology. The main reasons that reduce social activity in patients with visual impairment are problems with making various purchases and using public or private transport. Factor analysis confirmed the contribution of these causes to the decline in social activity to be the highest and amounts to 0.876 and 0.708, respectively.
 Limitations. The study was carried out just in one territory, which makes it difficult to extrapolate data to other regions.
 Conclusion. It is recommended to increase social assistance to patients with cataract and diabetic retinopathy in solving problems of using transport and buying various goods.
 Limitations of the study. The study was carried out in one territory, which makes it difficult to extrapolate data to other regions.

Relationship between ankle pain, range of motion, strength and balance in individuals with functional ankle instability: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundAbout 15–60% of individuals with ankle sprains may develop functional ankle instability (FAI), which is characterised by ankle pain, decreased muscle strength, limited range of motion, and impaired balance, causing a decline in social activity and quality of life. However, the relationship between those characters is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether a relationship existed between ankle pain, active range of motion (AROM), strength and balance and if ankle pain, AROM and strength can predict balance in individuals with FAI.MethodsSeventy-seven subjects (46 males; 31 females) with unilateral FAI participated in this study. Ankle pain was measured by the visual analogue scale (VAS), ankle AROM was measured using a universal goniometer, ankle strength was measured using a handheld dynamometer, the static balance was measured by the Time in Balance Test (TBT) and the dynamic balance was measured by the modified Star Excursion Balance Test (mSEBT). Pearson product-moment correlations were used to determine the correlations between ankle pain, AROM, strength and balance. Multiple linear regressions were used to investigate if ankle pain, AROM and strength can predict balance in individuals with FAI.ResultsVAS and AROM-plantarflexion predicted 25.6% of the TBT (f2 = 0.344, P < 0.001). AROM-dorsiflexion predicted 24.6% of the mSEBT-anterior reach (f2 = 0.326, P < 0.001). VAS, AROM-plantarflexion and strength-plantarflexion predicted 33.5% of the mSEBT-posteromedial reach (f2 = 0.504, P < 0.001). AROM-plantarflexion and strength-plantarflexion predicted 28.2% of the mSEBT-posterolateral reach (f2 = 0.393, P < 0.001).ConclusionThis study shows that ankle plantarflexion strength, AROM of dorsiflexion and plantarflexion and pain are predictors of balance in individuals with FAI. These factors could be considered in the rehabilitation of FAI.Trial registrationTrial registration number: ChiCTR2200063532.

Internal and external effects of social distancing in a pandemic

We develop a quantitative framework for exploring how individuals trade off the utility benefit of social activity against the internal and external health risks that come with social interactions during a pandemic. We calibrate the model to external targets and then compare its predictions with daily data on social activity, fatalities, and the estimated effective reproduction number R(t) from the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. While the laissez-faire equilibrium is consistent with much of the decline in social activity in March in the US before any formal stay-at-home orders, optimal policy further imposes immediate and highly persistent social distancing. The expected cost of COVID-19 in the US is substantial, $12,700 in the laissez-faire equilibrium and $8,100 per person under an optimal policy. Optimal policy generates this large welfare gain by shifting the composition of costs from fatalities to persistent social distancing that largely suppresses the outbreak.

Social aging in male and female Barbary macaques

Aging brings about notable changes in sociality, with an increasing focus on essential partners in both humans and nonhuman primates. Several studies have shown that older nonhuman primates have fewer social partners and shift their types of interactions. The majority of these studies, however, involved only female individuals. Much less is known about the trajectory of social aging in males. We collected 2180 h of focal observation data in a large age-heterogeneous sample of 34 male and 50 female Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus; age range 5-30 years) living in two social groups at the outdoor enclosure at La Forêt des Singes in Rocamadour (France). To track age-related changes in social engagement of both sexes, we used classical behavioral and social network analysis to measure age-related variation in the number of partners, the frequency of affiliative interactions, and the position in the social network (eigenvector centrality and local clustering coefficient). We found that females were more central in most social network metrics than males, that is, had more social partners and were more engaged in affiliative interactions than males. We did not find notable sex differences with age: both sexes showed a similar decline in social activity and energy-demanding activities like jumping or running. Our results thereby extend our knowledge of older nonhuman primates' social life and emphasize that age can have a similar impact on female and male social behavior.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Breathlessness Across Canada: A National Retrospective Cohort Study in Home Care and Nursing Home Populations

ContextBreathlessness is a symptom associated with poor clinical outcomes and prognosis. Little is known about its long-term trends and associations with social factors including decline in social activities and caregiver distress. ObjectivesTo describe factors associated with the prevalence of clinician-reported breathlessness across Canada among cohorts receiving home care or nursing home care. MethodsA retrospective observational cohort study of cross-sectional intake assessment data from Canadian interRAI Home Care and Nursing Home data sets. In each data set, we examined covariates associated with the presence of clinician-reported breathlessness using multivariate regression. ResultsBetween 2007 and 2018, we identified 1,317,117 and 469,709 individuals from the home care and nursing home data sets, respectively. Over two-thirds were aged >75 and over 60% were women. Breathlessness was present at intake in 26.0% of the home care and 8.2% of the nursing home cohorts. Between 2007 and 2018, prevalence of breathlessness increased by 10% for the home care cohort, while remaining relatively constant in nursing homes. Covariates associated with increased odds of having clinician-reported breathlessness at intake in both cohorts were moderate-severe impairment with activities of daily living, being male, older age, high pain scores, signs of depression, and decline in social activities. In the home care cohort, the presence of breathlessness was associated with a greater odds of caregiver distress (odds ratio = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.18–1.20). ConclusionThe prevalence of clinician-reported breathlessness is higher in home care than in nursing home populations, the former having risen by 10% over the decade. Prevalence of breathlessness is associated with decline in social activities and caregiver distress. Enhanced supports may be required to meet increasing patient need in the community.

Moral Injury and Social Well-Being: A Growth Curve Analysis.

Moral injury (MI) may occur in the context of committing transgressions (i.e., self-directed MI reactions), witnessing transgressions, or being the victims of others' transgressions (i.e., other-directed MI reactions) that violate an individual's moral principles. Veterans with MI may experience impaired social well-being (SWB). Studies on MI and veterans' SWB have focused almost exclusively on social support and used cross-sectional data. The present study used growth curve analyses to examine the associations between self- and other-directed MI reactions and veterans' levels of social support, social functioning, social activities, and social satisfaction over the first 18 to 21 months of their transition to civilian life (N = 9,566). The results demonstrated declines in all SWB outcomes, with self- and other-directed MI reactions having differential effects. Higher versus lower levels of other-directed MI reactions were related to lower baseline scores on all SWB outcomes, βs = -.06 to -.20, and steeper declines over time in social functioning, β = -.09, and social satisfaction, β = -.10. Higher versus lower levels of self-directed MI reactions were related to lower baseline levels of social functioning, β = -.07, but higher baseline levels of social activity, β = .04. Higher versus lower levels of self-directed MI reactions were related to a steeper decline in social activity over time, β = -.10. These findings present a more nuanced picture than that depicted by current MI theoretical frameworks and support further research to uncover moderators of the associations between self- and other-directed MI reactions and SWB outcomes.

Internal and External Effects of Social Distancing in a Pandemic

We use a conventional dynamic economic model to integrate individual optimization, equilibrium interactions, and policy analysis into the canonical epidemiological model. Our tractable framework allows us to represent both equilibrium and optimal allocations as a set of differential equations that can jointly be solved with the epidemiological model in a unified fashion. Quantitatively, the laissez-faire equilibrium accounts for the decline in social activity we measure in US micro-data from SafeGraph. Relative to that, we highlight three key features of the optimal policy: it imposes immediate, discontinuous social distancing; it keeps social distancing in place for a long time or until treatment is found; and it is never extremely restrictive, keeping the effective reproduction number mildly above the share of the population susceptible to the disease.

Social Inclusion of Older People: Barriers and Opportunities

Older people most commonly face problems of social integration. Elimination from the labor market often means for them a sharp decline in social activity; deterioration of economic welfare creates a barrier to active participation in society as well. Moreover, loss of physical faculty and in some cases disability, could jeopardize the social autonomy of people in the Old Age. Long-term increase of such factors could lead to social deprivation down to social isolation. The article explains the complex multi-factor phenomena of social inclusion and social exclusion from the viewpoint of sociology and proposes indicative parameters of the individual inclusion in or exclusion from social life. Thus, the quality and quantity of social contacts, social activity, intensity of existing social connections, economic, political and cultural activity are promoted as basic indicators of social inclusion. Research covers the social inclusion of the elderly, in particular barriers and opportunities for the elderly in their access to social life, mobility and healthy aging. The article is based on the results of two projects “A 100-year-old Citizen” and “National culture of ageing”, that took place from April to December 2016. Project were conducted by The Institute for Social Analysis and Forecast (Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration) together with Russian Clinical and Research Center of (Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University) with the support of Elena & Gennady Timchenko Foundation. The empirical base for the article includes 23 biographical interviews with people aged from 86 to 103 years from two regions of Russia.

Internal and External Effects of Social Distancing in a Pandemic

We develop a quantitative framework for exploring how individuals trade off the utility benefit of social activity against the internal and external health risks that come with social interactions during a pandemic. We calibrate the model to external targets and then compare its predictions with daily data on social activity, fatalities, and the estimated effective reproduction number R ( t ) from the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. While the laissez-faire equilibrium is consistent with much of the decline in social activity in March in the US before any formal stay-at-home orders, optimal policy further imposes immediate and highly persistent social distancing. The expected cost of COVID-19 in the US is substantial, $12,700 in the laissez-faire equilibrium and $8,100 per person under an optimal policy. Optimal policy generates this large welfare gain by shifting the composition of costs from fatalities to persistent social distancing that largely suppresses the outbreak.

Status Aspect of Age: Opportunities and Restrictions

One of the most interesting aspects of the problem of age is that it is considered as an objective characteristic. The article discusses the main aspects of social restrictions related to age. The category of age inequality is analyzed. However, the category of age contains in itself an extremely large amount of semantic load, age-related social expectations, stereotypes of perception, and ways of self-identification. Despite the fact that aging is determined by biological processes, the age category itself has acquired a social dimension. At the same time, a set of social conventions associated with age can have both a positive value, associated with the expansion of opportunities and the acquisition of a favorable status, and a negative value. A negative manifestation of social age is to limit the range of opportunities available to members of society and to form a number of age restrictions. Within the framework of the system of social conventions, there are explicit and unwritten prescriptions, which together determine the decline in social activity, in fact, self-exclusion of the elderly from social life.

Changes in social engagement and depression predict incident loneliness among seriously ill home care clients.

Existing data collected with the Resident Assessment Instrument for Home Care (RAI-HC) were utilized. A cohort of clients (N = 2,499) with two RAI-HC assessments and no self-reported loneliness at time 1 were included. Self-reported loneliness, upon reassessment, was the outcome of interest. Clients with a prognosis of less than six months or severe health instability were included. The average length of time between assessments was 5.9 months (standard deviation = 4.10). During that time, 7.8% (n = 181) of the sample developed loneliness. In a multivariate regression model, worsening symptoms of depression, a decline in social activities, and not living with a primary caregiver all increased the risk of loneliness. These results highlight how changes in psychosocial factors over time can contribute to loneliness, which can inform clinicians as they seek to identify those who may be at risk for loneliness.

Mediating effect of decline in social activities on urinary incontinence and negative mood: Do sex and marital differences exist?

We tested the mediating effect of decline in social participation on urinary incontinence (UI) and negative mood in older adults by sex and marital status. We carried out secondary analysis of data collected from 5301 Chinese adults aged 60 years or older in Hong Kong who had completed an initial screening instrument for subsidized long-term care services in 2010. Path analysis within structural equation modeling was carried out. Satisfactory model fit was obtained: male-married group (n = 1949, standardized root means squared residual [SRMR] = 0.034, robust root mean square error of approximation [R-RMSEA] = 0.045, robust comparative fit index [R-CFI] = 0.965), male-other group (n = 519, SRMR = 0.023, R-RMSEA = 0.011, R-CFI = 0.988), female-married group (n = 948, SRMR = 0.018, R-RMSEA = 0.002, R-CFI = 1.000) and female-other group (n = 2251, SRMR = 0.023, R-RMSEA = 0.048, R-CFI = 0.970). In the male-married subsample, UI had both a significant direct effect (β = 0.046) and significant indirect effect on mood through decline in social participation (β = 0.021); for the female-other subsample, UI (β = 0.058) and decline in social participation (β = 0.335) had significant direct effects on negative mood. Decline in social participation had a significant direct effect on negative mood in the male-other subsample (β = 0.306) and the female-married subsample (β = 0.325). Decline in social participation mediated the relationship between UI and negative mood in married older men, but not male-other group or women. It is important to recognize these sex and marital status differences, and expand social participation opportunities for UI patients. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2017; 17: 1829-1836.

The Aggravation of Depression with Aging in Japanese Patients with Subacute Myelo-optico-neuropathy (SMON).

Objective We attempted to clarify the factors related to the aggravation of depression in patients with subacute myelo-optico-neuropathy (SMON) caused by clioquinol intoxication more than 35 years previously. Methods We investigated changes in the depressive mental states that occurred with aging in 19 Japanese SMON patients (mean age, 78.3 years; range, 66-89 years) according to their scores on the Japanese version of the Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), which were obtained 3-10 years previously and their current scores. The depressive state was further evaluated using simultaneous semi-structured interviews. Results The depressive mental states of 6 patients, whose current total SDS scores had increased by ≥10% in comparison to the previous score, were considered to have been aggravated with aging. The mean current total SDS score of these six patients was significantly higher than the mean score of the 13 patients whose conditions were not aggravated. Among the 20 SDS questionnaires, the patients whose conditions were aggravated showed significantly higher scores in diurnal variation, sleep disturbance and weight loss. The semi-structured interviews revealed that physical disabilities due to the sequelae of SMON, a lack of acceptance of SMON, and a decline in social activities were important factors in the aggravation of their depressive mental states with aging. Conclusion The maintenance of social activities with public support was important for coping among Japanese SMON patients with a depressive mental state, especially those who could not walk independently or who could not go outside freely without assistance.

Death wishes among older people assessed for home support and long-term aged residential care.

Death wishes in older people are common and may progress to suicidal ideation and attempts. This study used routinely collected data from the interRAI Home Care assessment to examine the prevalence and clinical predictors of death wishes in older New Zealanders assessed for home support and long-term aged residential care. Data were collected from 35 734 people aged over 65 during 2012-2014. Chi-squared analyses were used to determine significant relationships between the presence of death wishes and demographic factors, health and functional status, and emotional and psychosocial well-being. A three-step hierarchical logistic regression model was used to determine the predictive variables of death wishes, and odds ratios were calculated. Death wishes were present in 9.5% of the sample. The following factors were significantly associated with death wishes: physical health (poor self-reported health, recurrent falls, severe fatigue and inadequate pain control), psychological factors (depression, major stressors and anxiety), social factors (loneliness and decline in social activities) and impaired cognition. Depression (odds ratio = 2.54, 95% confidence interval = 2.29-2.81), loneliness (odds ratio = 2.40, 95% confidence interval = 2.20-2.63) and poor self-reported health (odds ratio = 2.34, 95% confidence interval = 1.78-3.07) had the greatest odds ratios in the full model. Clinically significant depression alone cannot fully account for the development of death wishes in the elderly, and several factors are independently associated with death wishes. This knowledge can help clinicians caring for older persons to identify people who are most at risk of developing death wishes. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Interaction of social role functioning and coping in people with recent-onset attenuated psychotic symptoms: a case study of three Chinese women at clinical high risk for psychosis.

Clinical high risk of psychosis is defined as the period in which the first signs of psychotic symptoms begin to appear. During this period, there is an increased probability of developing frank psychosis. It is crucial to investigate the interaction between psychotic symptoms and the individual’s personality and life experiences in order to effectively prevent, or delay the development of psychosis. This paper presents case reports of three Chinese female subjects with attenuated positive symptoms, attending their initial outpatient assessment in a mental health service, and their longitudinal clinical outcomes. Information regarding each subject’s symptoms and life stressors was collected at 2-month intervals over a 6-month period. The assessments indicated that these women were suffering from the recent onset of symptoms in different ways. However, all three hid their symptoms from others in their school or workplace, and experienced a decline in performance related to their social roles and in their daily functioning. They were often excluded from the social groups to which they had previously belonged. A decline in social activities may be a risk factor in the development of psychosis and a mediator of functional sequelae in psychosis. Effective treatment strategies may include those that teach individuals to gain insights related to their symptoms and a service that provides a context in which individuals can discuss their psychotic symptoms.

Clima familiar y afrontamiento al estrés en pacientes oncológicos

El presente estudio se orienta a establecer la relación entre el clima familiar y el afrontamiento al estrés en pacientes oncológicos del Hospital Edgardo Nacional Rebagliati Martins (HNERM). Se empleo el método descriptivo correlacional para describir y relacionar las dimensiones del clima familiar y los modos de afrontamiento de los pacientes oncológicos. La muestra estuvo conformada por 287 sujetos (hombres y mujeres), con promedio de 54 años, la mayoría casados, de instrucción técnica y superior. Se utilizó la Escala de Clima Social Familiar – FES de Moos (1982) y el Cuestionario de Afrontamiento al estrés en pacientes oncológicos – CAEPO de González (2004). Los resultados indican que la dimensión familiar Desarrollo se ve afectada significativamente debido a disminución de actividades sociales por la dedicación al cuidado del paciente. Además de relación significativa entre un Adecuado clima social familiar y el Afrontamiento Positivo, y entre Relaciones y Enfrentamiento y Lucha Activa, Autocontrol y Control Emocional. Por otro lado las mujeres tienden a usar estrategias activas cognitivas de reinterpretación positiva en mayor medida que los hombres, y las pacientes con Cáncer de Mama, usan estrategias Positivas de Afrontamiento al estrés en relación con otros tipos de cáncer, y los que padecen cáncer de tiroides, linfoma No Hodking y cáncer de próstata muestran más sentimientos de incertidumbre con respecto a la evolución y futuro de su enfermedad.

Participation in daily life activities and its relationship to strength and functional measures in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Purpose: While most studies of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) have focused on physical impairment, there is a need to explore how impairment impacts real-life experiences in order to provide intervention strategies focused on participation. Objectives were: (1) to investigate the domains of participation in a sample of boys with DMD; (2) to compare a younger (<10 years) and older (≥10 years) group of boys with DMD with regard to participation; (3) to investigate strength and timed functional tests in a sample of boys with DMD; (4) to compare a younger (<10 years) and older (≥10 years) group of boys with DMD with regard to strength and timed functional tests; and (5) to explore associations between participation and strength and timed functional tests for our DMD cohorts. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 60 boys with DMD (mean 9.3 years ± 0.3). Boys completed strength testing, timed functional tests, the Children’s Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment and the ACTIVLIM. Independent samples t-tests were used to test for differences in all measures between our younger and older cohorts; Spearman’s (rank) correlation was used to assess relationships between participation and strength and time functional tests. Results: Significant differences were found between our younger and older boys with DMD in the areas of recreational (p < 0.01), social (p < 0.001), and skill-based activities (p < 0.05), as well as with whom and where the activities were performed (p < 0.05 and 0.001, respectively). Older boys with DMD report lower levels of participation in these areas, as well as less engagement in activities with individuals other than family members and less participation outside of the home. Lower levels of strength and slower rates of functional performance correlate with participation in fewer physical activities for our younger cohort and fewer physical and social activities for our older cohort. Conclusions: Strength and function relate to the variability and type of activities in which boys with DMD participate. A key finding is the significant decline in social activities and community-based engagement as the boys with DMD age. The ultimate goal of an intervention is for our children to be as actively engaged in life as they desire. This requires addressing participation when measuring outcomes in order to more fully understand limitations and provide appropriate strategies for continued participation for boys and their families.Implications for RehabilitationDuchenne muscular dystrophy is a devastating progressive neuromuscular disorder that leads to significant strength and functional limitations, which affect physical and social participation for these boys.The ability to move beyond clinically-based outcomes and assess and monitor a child’s daily activities through participation measures may provide information for therapeutic interventions.Rehabilitation specialists have a role as advocates for social and community engagement for children with physical limitations.Providing families with information on community-based opportunities, and the strategies and environmental modifications available may increase social participation for our youth growing up with a neuromuscular disorder.

Social activity one and three years post-stroke

To determine the long-term course of social activity after a stroke. Prospective cohort study. Patients with a first-ever supratentorial stroke were selected in 4 Dutch rehabilitation centres. Social activity was measured by the Frenchay Activities Index (FAI) at 1 and 3 years post-stroke to determine social activity. Changes in FAI scores ≥ 7 points were considered real change. Data from 190 patients were available for analysis. The mean FAI score was stable between 1 and 3 years post-stroke. A decline in social activity was seen in 12% of all individuals and improvement in another 12%. Inactivity at 1 year post-stroke was strongly associated with inactivity at 3 years post-stroke (odds ratio (OR) = 19.9; 95% confidence interval (CI) 9.1-43.3). Motor impairment of the leg (OR = 0.39; 95% CI 0.15-0.97) and being socially inactive at 1 year post-stroke (OR = 0.19; 95% CI 0.04-0.84) were associated with a lower risk of decline in FAI scores. For the majority of stroke patients, the level of social activity is stable during the chronic phase (beyond 1 year post-stroke). Only 1 in 10 patients showed improvement, and 1 in 10 declined. The level of social activity at 1 year post-stroke is indicative of the level of social activity at 3 years post-stroke. Rehabilitation professionals should focus their follow-up programmes on patients inactive at 1 year post-stroke, as this group is at risk for chronic inactivity, and should be stimulated to achieve social reintegration.

Consequências das quedas em idosos vivendo na comunidade

As quedas em idosos são um problema frequente, com importantes consequências físicas, psicológicas e sociais. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão sistematizada da literatura sobre as consequências das quedas em idosos vivendo na comunidade. A busca foi realizada entre junho a outubro de 2008 nas bases de dados eletrônicas Medline, Lilacs, PEDro e SciELO. Apenas artigos em inglês, português e espanhol foram considerados para esta revisão. Foram identificados inicialmente 114 artigos potencialmente relevantes. Após análise do título e dos resumos, considerando-se critérios de inclusão e exclusão predeterminados, foram selecionados para esta revisão dez artigos. Foram identificadas as seguintes consequências: fraturas, imobilização, lesões de tecidos moles, contusões, entorses, feridas e abrasões, lesões musculares e neurológicas, surgimento de outras doenças, dor, declínio funcional e da atividade física, atendimento médico, hospitalização, reabilitação, medo de cair, abandono de atividades, tristeza, mudança na vida/comportamentos, sentimento de impotência, declínio em atividade social, perda de autonomia e da independência, mudança de domicílio/ ambiente, rearranjo familiar e morte. As fraturas e o medo de uma nova queda ficaram dentre as consequências mais citadas. O conhecimento das consequências físicas, psicológicas e sociais das quedas em idosos é de extrema importância, pois ele auxiliará no delineamento das estratégias preventivas e de reabilitação de tais repercussões.
