Resumen

El presente estudio investiga las asociaciones entre las dimensiones de calidad y la resolubilidad de la atención primaria de salud en Brasil, según grupos de edad. Este estudio comprende un análisis cuantitativo de datos de encuestas transversales representativas a nivel poblacional en 2008, 2003, 2008, 2013 y 2019. Los resultados indican una asociación positiva entre la evaluación de la buena calidad de la atención médica y la resolubilidad, con mayores efectos en adultos que en personas mayores. Por el contrario, el buen estado de salud presentó un menor efecto en la calidad de la atención médica en adultos que en personas mayores. La multimorbilidad y la asistencia a centros públicos mostraron efectos negativos en la evaluación de la calidad de la atención médica en adultos y personas mayores. Los hallazgos mostraron que el aumento de la longevidad de la población, la resolubilidad de la atención médica, el estado de salud, la multimorbilidad y la asistencia a centros públicos de salud se asocian con la percepción de la calidad de la atención médica en Brasil. El estudio contribuye a la literatura sobre la asociación entre la calidad y la resolubilidad de la atención médica, abordando cuestiones emergentes relacionadas con la transición demográfica.
