Abstract
NASCIMENTO, Danelle da Silva et al. Activity limitation and social participation restriction of people with leprosy: a cross-sectional analysis of magnitude and associated factors in a hyperendemic municipality in the state of Piauí, Brazil, 2001-2014. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.3, e2019543. Epub June 03, 2020. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/s1679-49742020000300012.
Objective
to analyse the magnitude and factors associated with activity limitation and social participation restriction of people with leprosy from 2001 to 2014 in Picos, Piauí, Brazil.
Methods
this was a cross-sectional study with data collected through interviews and physical examinations; the SALSA Scale (Screening of Activity Limitation and Safety Awareness) and Social Participation Scale were used; crude prevalence ratios (PR) were calculated.
Results
263 people with leprosy participated in the study; activity limitation was associated with grade I/II disability (PR=1.66; 95%CI 1.14;2.41), age ≥60 years (PR=1.68; 95%CI 1.09;3.02) and low schooling (PR=1.76; 95%CI 1.26;2.45); correlation was found between eye-hand-foot score and activity limitation (r=0.29; p<0.001) and participation restriction (r=0.27; p<0.001).
Conclusion
activity limitation and participation restriction had high prevalence in the context studied and were associated with disease severity, advanced age and social vulnerability.
