“…13 According to the results that were obtained with the study sample, 8.49% and 10.96% of elderly participants were functionally dependent with respect to ADL and IADL, respectively; these results were considered low when compared to other Brazilian municipalities. [15][16][17] However, the fact that various functional capacity evaluation tests exist, the cut-off values of which are not standardized, makes comparison of results with other studies difficult.…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of quality of life and socio-economic aspects on the functional capacity of elderly residents in the town of Avaré, São Paulo. Methodolog y: A cross-sectional study of 365 elderly persons living in the urban area of Avaré was performed. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Flanagan Quality of Life Scale (FQLS), the Katz Activities of Daily Living Scale (ADL) and the Lawton & Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale (IADL) were used for data collection. Results: Positive associations were found between the ADL and IADL of elderly persons who reported having a poor quality of life. The same was found for certain aspects of quality of life as measured by the FQLS. Of the 15 items of this scale, four influenced ADL: health, self-awareness, work and leisure, while seven influenced IADL: self-awareness, health, work, community involvement, relations with friends, socializing (making friends) and learning through courses and lectures. Conclusion: Elderly people with a good quality of life and more elevated socio-economic status are less functionally dependent, and there are specific aspects of quality of life that most influence functional disability in the performance of ADL and IADL.

“…Para mensurar a capacidade de realização destas atividades, foi adotada a pontuação: incapaz de realizar qualquer uma das tarefas = incapaz; capaz de realizar somente a tarefa 1 = fraco; capaz de realizar as tarefas 1 e 2 = médio; capaz de realizar as tarefas 1 e 2 mais a 3 e/ou a 4 = bom (13) . (14) . No presente estudo foi observado uma diminuição da funcionalidade entre idosos com 80 anos ou mais quanto às AIVDs, dados este corroborado por estudo realizado com o objetivo verificar a independência funcional e a mobilidade/ flexibilidade de 125 idosos em um seguimento ambulatorial, no qual foi encontrado uma elevada frequência de idosos com diminuição da funcionalidade (15) .…”

Abstract Introduction: Associated with physiological changes of aging and chronic-degenerative diseases, the increase in the group of elderly people aged over 80 years can cause the decrease of independency of the elderly, which raises the need to assess the functionality and motor performance of this population. Objective: Assess the functionality and motor ability of long-lived elderly people living at home in the city of Jequié, Bahia State, as well as identifying the factors associated with functionality and motor ability. Patients and Methods: This is an analytical research, with cross-sectional design and a quantitative approach, with 63 elderly people aged 80 or over in the city of Jequié, Bahia State. During data collection, we used a questionnaire with sociodemographic data and health conditions, functional assessment by Barthel Scale, Lawton Index and application of motor tests: sitting and getting up from a chair, picking up a pencil on the floor, walking and balance. We conducted a descriptive analysis and applied the Chi-square Test, with a significance level of 5% (p<0.05). Results: The population was predominantly composed of women (66.7%), who were independent in the basic activities of daily living (61.9%), although they were dependent in the instrumental everyday activities (82.5%). The mean score of the activity of balance was reached by 42.9% of them. They reach the score "good" in the activities of sitting/getting up (82.5%), squatting/ picking up a pencil on the floor (87.3%) and walking (96.8%). We did not find significant statistical difference between the variable of functional capacity and the activities of motor performance, as well as between the variables of health conditions and the activities of motor performance. Conclusion: The elderly people were classified as dependents in the instrumental activities of daily living and with an average score in the activity of balance of motor performance. When assessing motor ability and functionality, one can identify possible limitations to guide specific interventions and follow-up the evolution in order to combat preventable dependencies.

“…Functional capacity boils down to the subject´s autonomy to perform basic and instrumental activities, such as, taking a bath, putting on cloths, taking care of personal hygiene, moving from one place to another, eating, urinating, preparing food, controlling one´s money, taking medicine, cleaning the house, going to the grocer, riding buses, phoning and walking certain distances [5].…”

“…Further, the functional capacity may be evaluated by basic and instrumental activities performed, also called mobility abilities and self-care activities [5]. The assessment of functional capacity may be perceived as an indispensable tool for nurses in care-giving to the elderly.…”
