RESUMEN
Objetivo. Analizar el impacto del régimen epidemiológico mixto presente en México sobre la salud de los adultos mayores.
Material y métodos. Participaron adultos mayores de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Envejecimiento en México (n=12 207). Se usaron regresiones logísticas para evaluar la relación entre autorreporte de salud (ARS) y variables como enfermedades infecciosas y crónicas. Se analizó el cambio en ARS mediante análisis multinomiales.
Resultados. Edad, estatus socioeconómico, pobre ARS y tipo de enfermedad aumentan el riesgo de pobre ARS en el futuro. La razón de probabilidades de pobre ARS fue más alta para individuos con ambos tipos de enfermedad (OR 2.63, SE 0.24), seguida por aquellos con crónicas (OR 1.86; SE 0.12) y aquellos con infecciosas (OR 1.55; SE 0.25).
Conclusión. El régimen mixto presente en México afecta a los adultos mayores. En países como México, es prematuro dejar de lado el impacto de las enfermedades infecciosas para enfocarse únicamente en prevenir las crónicas.
