Resumen

Resumen: El estudio examina la asociación entre los problemas de accesibilidad del espacio público y el aislamiento social de las personas mayores con discapacidad. La metodología se basa en un análisis estadístico multivariado (regresión logística binaria, componentes principales, clúster) de los datos de una encuesta a 381 adultos mayores con discapacidad y una auditoría ambiental de segmentos de calles en el centro de la ciudad de Hermosillo, México. Se utiliza una escala de accesibilidad del espacio público para evaluar los indicadores de funcionalidad, comodidad, seguridad y destino. Los resultados indicaron que el riesgo de aislamiento social está asociado con baja capacidad funcional, enfermedades cardiovasculares, problemas psicológicos, menor movilidad fuera del hogar, escasas redes sociales y problemas de accesibilidad del espacio público. En los barrios con alto riesgo de aislamiento social se registraron mayores problemas de accesibilidad percibida (mal estado de calles y aceras, iluminación, inseguridad) y accesibilidad objetiva (grado de accesibilidad, funcionalidad y destino) en el espacio público, y menor capacidad funcional. Las modificaciones de las características ambientales que determinan la accesibilidad del espacio público podrían redefinir el comportamiento y prevenir el aislamiento social de los adultos mayores con discapacidad, promoviendo ciudades y comunidades amigables con el envejecimiento activo y saludable.
