Objetivo: identificar as características sociodemográficas de pessoas idosas da comunidade e analisar a Qualidade de Vida e as Atividades Avançadas da Vida Diária. Método: estudo quantitativo, descritivo, analítico e transversal. Amostra de 262 pessoas idosas, de ambos os sexos e residentes na região Sudeste brasileira. Os instrumentos utilizados foram Caracterização sociodemográfica de saúde; Escala de Qualidade de Vida de Pessoa Idosa de Vitor e Escala de Atividades Avançadas da Vida Diária. Resultados: a Qualidade de Vida Total obteve a M=184,8 (Dp=18,6); Domínios: Autonomia e Dimensão Psicológica M=42,0 (Dp=5,1); Meio Ambiente M=30,4 (Dp=8,5); Independência Física M=25,1 (Dp=4,0); Família M=28,7 (Dp=4,0); Saúde M=21,4 (Dp=3,3) e Dimensão Social M=37,2 (Dp=4,2). As Atividades Avançadas da Vida Diária Total obtiveram M=26,7 (Dp=5,2); Fatores: Social M=10,6 (Dp=1,7); Lazer M=8,6 (Dp=2,6) e produtivo M=7,5 (Dp=2,7). Os domínios relacionados à escala EQVI se correlacionaram significativamente com os domínios da escala de AAVD de forma direta e apenas o domínio “Saúde” não se correlacionou com domínio algum da escala AAVD, o domínio “Meio Ambiente” se correlacionou com os domínios das AAVD de forma indireta. Conclusão: as pessoas idosas com maior participação nas AAVD apresentaram melhor QV, nas dimensões independência física, família e social.

Background The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between frailty level and quality of life in elderly individuals with Type 2 diabetes. Methods This descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 211 patients who applied to the diabetes outpatient clinic of a private and a public hospital in Istanbul between September and November 2022. The data were obtained by using the Personal Information Form, Edmonton Frail Scale and the Quality of Life in the Elderly Scale. Results The mean Edmonton Frail Scale score of the participants was 7.36 ± 4.35. Their mean quality of life scale score was 19.32 ± 7.12. A low degree of negative correlation was found between Elderly Quality of Life Scale total and subscale scores and the Edmonton Frail Scale score (p < 0.05). Besides, there was a statistically significant difference between the Edmonton Frail Scale mean score and education level, history of falling in the last 1 year, using oral antidiabetic drugs, and the presence of diabetes complications (p < 0.05). Conclusion It is recommended that frailty and quality of life should be evaluated regularly in elderly patients with diabetes and necessary planning should be made in diabetes management and improving quality of life in the presence of frailty.

BackgroundFrailty is characterized by an accumulation of deficits that lead to vulnerability to adverse health outcomes. The Frailty Index (FI) quantifies frailty by measuring deficits that increase susceptibility to stressors. This study focused on a population of Mexican Americans living in vulnerable communities in the Rio Grande Valley of south Texas. We used a Frailty Index developed based on common health-related data--the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and a Health-related Quality of Life survey (Duke Health Profile). Quality of life, resilience, and frailty are interrelated and influenced by chronic illness, mental illness, poverty, cognitive impairment, and community support.MethodsWe used Logistic regression analysis, factor component analysis, receiver operating characteristic curves, and odds ratios to identify potential associations between clinical variables and candidate predictor variables and seven physiological health variables, and two survey instruments. We analyzed data obtained from participants (894) that live in two Colonias located on the Texas-Mexico border. We calculated the FI with seven physiological variables, PHQ-9 score, and the 11 domain-specific Duke Profile scores, for a total of 19 health deficits. We then dichotomized FI (>0.25) and determined ROC curves through model selection to determine best predictors of frailty.ResultsFemales (n = 622) had a higher starting frailty, and males (n = 272) had a significantly greater change rate with age. Women score higher in anxiety, depression, anxiety/depression, and pain. The frailty index and quality of life markers are strongly inversely related; poorer quality of life leads to greater frailty independent physiological health variables, the PHQ 9, sex, and age.ConclusionThe study highlights the importance of addressing modifiable mental health and social stressors to reduce frailty. Furthermore, it suggests that factors supporting resilience and well-being, such as physical and mental health, social support, and perceived health, play a crucial role in frailty development. The findings have implications for interventions targeting vulnerable populations and emphasize the need for further research on the relationship between health-related quality of life and frailty.
