SUMMARY:

Introduction: Covid 19 presents itself as a flu-like syndrome with a wide range of clinical manifestations, ranging from asymptomatic infections to more serious cases. Although the number of new infections and deaths is currently declining, it is important to understand how the virus can impact the functioning of the body and result in impairment of the functional capacity of individuals, especially those affected by mild acute infections.

Objective: To identify an association between reports of illness caused by SARS-CoV-2 and the presence of impaired functional capacity, characterize the sociodemographic profile with a focus on domestic activities performed by individuals and investigate a possible association of sociodemographic, occupational and health-related factors health with compromised functional capacity in individuals from a peripheral neighborhood in Salvador-BA.

Methodology: Cross-sectional study, carried out in the Alto das Pombas neighborhood, Salvador-BA, which included 504 participants aged 16 or over. Sociodemographic, health and work data were collected and the EQ-5D was applied to assess functional capacity. Collection took place from February to June 2022. Multivariate analysis was performed to investigate factors associated with impaired functional capacity, with a 95% CI.

Results: It was possible to identify an association between impaired functional capacity and a history of Covid 19 (RP: 1.29; 95% CI: 1.13-1.47), female sex (RP: 1.21; 95% CI: 1.02-1.44), living without a partner (PR: 1.16; 95% CI: 1.01-1.34), report of comorbidities (RP: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.14-1.49) and not being employed (RP: 1.20; 95% CI: 1.05-1.38).

Conclusion: The study carried out during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic highlights the presence of impaired functional capacity in individuals with a mild history of Covid-19, in a vulnerable community marked by violence, mostly made up of black people and women. The study emphasizes the need for long-term monitoring of these individuals, especially in relation to mental health, and highlights the importance of considering social determinants when formulating more comprehensive public health policies.
