A saúde e o social: termos indissociáveis na população em situação de acumulação

Resumen

Hoarding disorder has become an emerging challenge in public health, with significant prevalence in urban areas and, most often, associated with an aging population. It goes far beyond the simple accumulation of animals and/or objects; this multifactorial problem encompasses environmental, sanitary, and socioeconomic risks, demanding coordinated intersectoral response planning. In the country's largest metropolis, even with governmental efforts represented by the implementation of the Municipal Policy for Comprehensive Care for People in Hoarding Situations in 2016, daily life reveals gaps that require ongoing dialogue between the sectors involved.
