Abstract: CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES: The new social panorama resulting from aging of the Brazilian population is leading to significant transformations within healthcare. Through the cluster analysis strategy, it was sought to describe the specific care demands of the elderly population, using frailty components. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study based on reviewing medical records, conducted in the geriatric outpatient clinic, Hospital de Clínicas, Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp). METHODS: Ninety-eight … Show more

“…8,9 At present, additional studies cite the well-established influence of variables such as age and education on levels of independence while others discuss the relationship between FC to other factors such as ethnicity, social class, and distinct health conditions, in addition to gender. [10][11][12][13] However, despite the diversity of studies discussing FC, it is also possible to observe a tendency to work with the total scores of the instruments, classifying the population as partially/totally dependent or independent based on their final results. Within such a vast population, there is a scarcity of studies that intend to investigate different profiles of functionality in an equally extensive way, seeking to understand the heterogeneity present in the group and classifying them in a nondichotomous way -but instead of it, based on characteristics and patterns observed through similarities and differentiations.…”

“…In order to assure that resources allocated to interventions target the persons’ in most need of them, more knowledge about differences among people applying for housing adaptations is essential. Greater knowledge about their characteristics and heterogeneity can facilitate, for instance, the implementation of strategies for structured client baseline assessments and follow-ups [ 18 , 19 , 20 ]. This knowledge could serve as a preliminary step towards identifying clients most in need of interventions that facilitate their participation inside and outside the home and accordingly, allocate resources to those most in need.…”

“…Em um serviço de referência para assistência a idosos como é o Ambulatório de Geriatria do Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas (AG-HC/Unicamp), em que os pacientes apresentam uma média de doenças crônicas associadas superior a sete (FATTORI et al, 2014), a investigação do perfil de funcionalidade é de grande relevância para o reconhecimento das necessidades de saúde dessa população e de quais sistemas funcionais comprometidos têm maior associação com eventos desfavoráveis, mas também para identificar potencialidades que lhes permitam responder melhor à perda de várias origens. É com esse foco que se desenvolve a assistência à população idosa no Ambulatório de Geriatria do Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas (AG-HC/Unicamp) e foi nesse serviço que o presente estudo buscou investigar o perfil de funcionalidade dos idosos, correlacionando-o com os desfechos "número de consultas médicas" e "óbito".…”
