“…This demystification has been taking place ever since, and it is believed that men tend to care more about their own health. 1, 5,[13][14] The predominant age group found in the sample was in line with that found in similar studies, as well as the variables "lives with" and "schooling". 1,3,13, [15][16] However, in previous studies conducted with older adults in the Federal District, their incomes were higher than a minimum wage, i.e., above the national average.…”

“…In many situations, these deficits can be experienced as stressors, and they can also affect older adults emotionally as well as their quality of life. 5 The term "resilience" is used in various contexts, such as the academy, the development paradigm throughout the life course, theories, and stages of human development, with special emphasis in aging. 6 The concept of resilience is related to the ability of individuals or families to face adversities, being transformed by them, and overcoming them.…”

“…One probable justification for this is the fact that the elderly person exhibits greater limitations when exercising daily tasks, meaning that there is an initial decline in more complex activities, which require greater skill for development. Later, however, the elderly person may demonstrate difficulty in carrying out tasks of self-care 25,26 . A study in the city of São Carlos (São Paulo) obtained different results, however, finding that frailty was associated only with IADLs 26 .…”

“…Quase metade das pessoas idosas por nós avaliadas apresentava pré-fragilidade. Esta condição atingiu a maioria dos idosos rastreados na comunidade em investigações de natureza similar (Duarte & Paúl, 2015;Júnior et al, 2014;Lenardt et al, 2016;Pegorari & Tavares, 2014). Tais resultados colocam importantes desafios às políticas de saúde e envelhecimento ativo, já que com o avançar da idade aumenta a probabilidade destas pessoas transitarem para frágeis (Apóstolo et al, 2017;Xue, 2011 (Collard et al, 2012;Fried et al, 2001;Santos-Eggimann et al, 2009).…”

“…A perceção do estado de saúde associou-se à condição de fragilidade, corroborando investigações prévias (Júnior et al, 2014). A literatura enfatiza que os idosos fragilizados apresentam menor qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde e alta prevalência de doenças crónicas (Lenardt et al, 2016;Strandberg et al, 2011). É pois compreensível que a perceção do estado de saúde possa estar comprometida, e que a variável apresente grande sensibilidade para fragilidade.…”
