Associations were estimated between self-rated health status, functional incapacity, and number of chronic conditions according to crude and adjusted regression analyses (\u03b1 = 0.01). The majority of the elderly were white (56.2%). In the adjusted analysis, brown color\/races was associated with worse self-rated health status (OR = 1.11; 95%CI: 1.03-1.18) and black color\/race was associated with more chronic diseases (PR = 1.07; 95%CI: 1.02-1.13). Brown color\/race appeared as a protective factor against functional incapacity. When brown and black elderly were combined in one category (\u201cblack\u201d), \u201cblack\u201d elderly continued to show worse self-rated health status (OR = 1.09; 95%CI: 1.02-1.16) and lower odds of functional incapacity (OR = 0.83; 95%CI: 0.76-0.92). \u201cBlack\u201d color\/race lost the association with number of chronic diseases. Color\/race explained part of the health inequalities in elderly Brazilians, but other socioeconomic variables had a more striking effect.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/0102-311x00071413","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,23]],"date-time":"2014-08-23T18:08:21Z","timestamp":1408817301000},"page":"1438-1452","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["The association between skin color\/race and health indicators in elderly Brazilians: a study based on the Brazilian National Household Sample Survey (2008)"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Bruno Luciano Carneiro Alves de","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Maranh\u00e3o,  Brasil; Secretaria Municipal de Sa\u00fade de Cururupu,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erika Barbara Abreu Fonseca","family":"Thomaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Maranh\u00e3o,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raimundo Antonio da","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Maranh\u00e3o,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Censo demogr\u00e1fico 2010: caracter\u00edsticas da popula\u00e7\u00e3o e dos domic\u00edlios, resultados do universo.","year":"2011"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2042","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(11)60055-X","article-title":"Health conditions and health-policy innovations in Brazil: the way forward.","volume":"377","author":"Victora CG","year":"2011","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref3","first-page":"383","article-title":"The use of the race\/color variable in public health: possibilities and limitations.","volume":"5","author":"Ara\u00fajo EM","year":"2010","journal-title":"Interface Comun Sa\u00fade Educ"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"237","DOI":"10.1590\/S1020-49892008000400003","article-title":"Indicadores de sa\u00fade para idosos: compara\u00e7\u00e3o entre o Brasil e os Estados Unidos.","volume":"23","author":"Rebou\u00e7as M","year":"2008","journal-title":"Rev Panam Salud P\u00fablica"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"693","DOI":"10.1136\/jech.55.10.693","article-title":"A glossary for social epidemiology.","volume":"55","author":"Krieger N.","year":"2001","journal-title":"J Epidemiol Community Health"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"457","DOI":"10.1093\/geronb\/gbr054","article-title":"Aging in a cultural context: cross-national differences in disability and the moderating role of personal control among older adults in the United States and England.","volume":"66","author":"Clarke P","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Gerontol B Psychol Sci Soc Sci"},{"key":"ref7","series-title":"Previd\u00eancia social e desigualdade racial no Brasil.","author":"Zorzin PLG","year":"2011"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2463","DOI":"10.1590\/S0102-311X2007001000020","article-title":"Envelhecimento populacional e as informa\u00e7\u00f5es de sa\u00fade do PNAD: demandas e desafios contempor\u00e2neos.
