Health conditions, behavioral factors, and genomic instability of the elderly population in Criciúma/SC

This study will help to highlight the reality of the elderly population in Criciúma, making it possible to plan health actions and services that are more suited to their needs. Additionally, participants will receive health guidance and may undergo tests that help identify areas of concern for their well-being. Our commitment is to promote health and respect for the elderly.

The study is aimed at individuals aged 60 and over who reside in the municipality of Criciúma. Participation is voluntary, and all information is kept confidential. No data will be disclosed with names or any personal identification. We are visiting selected households in different neighborhoods of the city.

The study is coordinated by professors Dr. Susana Cararo Confortin and Dr. Vanessa Miranda, both researchers at UNESC, through the Graduate Program in Public Health.

The research is the result of extensive collaboration among institutions and researchers, involving faculty and students from Unesc, UFSC, and Fiocruz. Researchers Cristiane Damiani Tomasi, Maria Inês da Rosa, Vanessa Moraes de Andrade, Tamy Coloneti, Ione Jayce Schneider, Larissa Pruner Marques, and Felipe Dal Pizzol are also participating, along with undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students.

All our interviewers will be properly identified with study t-shirts, UNESC vests, and identification badges. On the back of the badge, there is a QR Code that leads to an official page with more information about the research and each team member. This identification ensures greater security, transparency, and trust for those being interviewed.
