“…This average age was similar to those resulting from studies involving the elderly living in the community and which used the frailty phenotype for their identification, 9-10 as well as in a study that used the EFS. 7 The high average age may be related to the age structure of society, with the increasing number of elderly living close to 100 years, which contributes to the worsening of chronic diseases and more frequent exacerbations, as well as hospitalizations. Although frailty is associated with age, not all elderly are frail, 11 and frailty is more related to the reduction in the ability to perform daily activities than chronological age.…”

“…Desta forma, os estudos associavam a fragilidade à perda da autonomia e dependência para realizar as atividades básicas de vida diária (ABVD). [13][14][15][16][17] Conforme afirmou Carvalho Filho, 5 Brocklehurst criou um modelo de fragilidade que contemplava os componentes biológico, social e psicológico no ano de 1982. A partir dessa abordagem, identificou-se que a fragilidade pode se manifestar em qualquer faixa etária, podendo estar presente não apenas na velhice.…”

“…Os resultados identificaram que a maior prevalência de fragilidade está entre os idosos mais velhos, ou seja, acima de 80 anos, que apresentam déficit cognitivo e do sexo feminino. 16,41 Em estudo com idosos de uma comunidade norte-americana, os autores associaram positivamente sexo feminino, etnia afroamericana, situação socioeconômica mais precária, baixo nível de escolaridade, pior estado de saúde, morbidades preexistentes caracterizadas como doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT) e incapacidades à maior presença da síndrome. A síndrome da fragilidade para esse estudo identificou prevalência de fragilidade de 6,9%.…”
