Resumo

Pesquisas anteriores mostraram efeitos diferenciados dos tipos de arranjos residenciais sobre a mortalidade. Entretanto, pouco se sabe sobre os fenômenos na América Latina e suas residências multigeracionais. Este estudo aborda a relação entre os tipos de arranjos residenciais de idosos e a mortalidade subsequente. A análise de sobrevivência foi realizada por meio do modelo Gompertz, estimando as diferenças de mortalidade entre os diferentes arranjos domiciliares. Foi utilizado o Estudo da Longevidade e Envelhecimento da Costa Rica (CRELES) pré-1945, de 2005, 2007 e 2009. Os resultados mostram que os idosos que vivem com companheiro apresentam as maiores taxas de sobrevivência entre as categorias testadas. Ao controlar por sexo e idade no modelo, o efeito de morar sozinho não é diferente de morar com companheiro. Se os fatores socioeconômicos e de saúde forem controlados, os idosos que vivem com seus filhos ou outras pessoas possuem um risco aumentado de morte em pelo menos 40% (p-valor <0,05). O estudo demonstra que existe uma associação entre os arranjos domiciliares e a mortalidade de idosos na Costa Rica. Os resultados mostram que as maiores chances de sobrevivência estão entre os idosos que possuem um parceiro, sugerindo que os cuidados providos por membros da família não são igualmente efetivos. A inclusão desse tipo de variável nos estudos de mortalidade é crucial para entender como as condições domiciliares se relacionam com os resultados de saúde e mortalidade.
