“…In the correlation between expectation of care and living conditions, data showed the centrality of the family and care provided primarily by a daughter or daughter-in-law; followed by a son or son-in-law; and subsequently by a spouse, corroborating the studies by Souza et al 1 , since the expectation of care is aimed at family members. Oliveira et al 27 point out that 89.12% of the elderly report having an expectation of care; 44% expect to be cared for by only one person, often their spouse, who is also usually an elderly person.…”

“…The socio-demographic profile of the elderly presented characteristics similar to other studies, i.e. a predominance of women 4,26 , who were younger than 75 1,4,18,[27][28][29][30] , cohabited with others 4,26,28,30 , had up to two diseases 4, 26-28 and were independent for BADL (85.92%). It is common, as the SABE study showed, that the development of dependence is greater for women (33.2%), the elderly (59.46%) and widowers (37.3%) 4.…”

“…Almost 1/3 of those who lived alone complained of suffering from an illness in the two weeks prior to the interview, the majority self-reported difficulties with IADL; falls (previous 12 months) and worse eating habits are also related to the elderly who live alone 29 . Most of the elderly lived with someone else 1,27,28,30,31 and, among their families, across generations, establish a comfortable reciprocity in giving and receiving help, especially material and emotional support 32 .…”

“…Types of protection against the daily difficulties faced by the elderly can be created through bonds established over the years, which form spontaneous and reciprocal networks of relationships that can provide individual and collective well-being. Such relationships constitute an informal social support network in which feelings of affect, protection, security, common and mutual care, the socialization of knowledge and information are cultivated among its members [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] .…”

Objective: To compare the social support network and expectation of care among elderly persons who live alone and those who live with others. Method: A cross-sectional study with 348 elderly people living in the community in the municipal region of Várzea Grande, Mato Grosso, Brazil was performed. The elderly were interviewed using a questionnaire composed of socio-demographic issues; evaluation tools of basic and instrumental activities of daily living; and care expectation and perceived social support network. The data were submitted to descriptive and comparative statistical analysis, the chi-squared test or Fisher’s exact test at a significance level of 5%. Results: Most of the interviewees were younger elderly women. Of these,14.66% lived alone and 85.34% lived with other people, with mainly bi-generation family arrangements. The majority stated that they had fair health, had up to two diseases, were dependent in instrumental activities of daily living and independent in self-care activities. Elderly persons who lived with others relied on their family, and the expectation of care was aimed at a daughter or daughter-in-law; while those who lived alone expected to rely on neighbors or friends to help with their tasks, if needed. Conclusion: Family members are the greatest providers of support and care, and the elderly hope to count on them when they need help in carrying out basic and instrumental activities of daily living.

“…De acordo com os resultados anteriormente expostos, verificamos que esta é uma amostra predominantemente do género feminino, com uma média de idades de 81,11, casados e com o primeiro ciclo de escolaridade, corroborando vários estudos internacionais que referem que a fragilidade tem maior incidência nas mulheres idosas, com idade mais avançada e com grau de escolaridade menor (5,(10)(11) .…”

Introdução: Com o aumento da longevidade e declínio da função física, psicológica e social dos idosos é essencial perceber as condições sociodemográficas e de saúde que concorrem para a fragilidade. Objetivos: Analisar o perfil de fragilidade dos idosos de uma unidade de saúde do norte de Portugal. Metodologia: Estudo descritivo, transversal com 173 idosos a residir no domicílio e inscritos numa Unidade de Saúde. Como instrumento de recolha de dados usou-se um inquérito, realizado por telefone, contendo dados sociodemográficos, de saúde e o Índice de fragilidade de Tilburg (TFI). Resultados: Amostra predominantemente feminina com idade média de 81,11 anos, maioritariamente casados, com diversas comorbilidades e polimedicados. A representação da fragilidade foi de 60,7%, estando essa condição significativamente associada ao género, estado civil, número de doenças crónicas, polimedicação e autoperceção da saúde. Para a maioria dos idosos (83,8%), a condição de fragilidade é influenciada cumulativamente pelas dimensões físicas, psicológicas e sociais. Conclusão: A fragilidade é uma condição prevalente e o perfil está associado a um conjunto de caraterísticas nas quais é possível intervir retardando a progressão da fragilidade que ocorre com o envelhecimento.

Objective to analyze the agreement between the Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) and the Clinical Functional Vulnerability Index (CFVI-20). Methods cross-sectional study, during which the Edmonton Frail Scale and the Clinical Functional Vulnerability Index were applied, at home, to older adults, registered in units of the Family Health Strategy of Montes Claros (MG) and randomly selected by lot. To evaluate the correlation and agreement between the instruments, Pearson's correlation coefficient and the weighted Kappa were calculated, considering three levels of frailty classification, as follows: "robust", "risk of frail" and "frail" for the IVCF-20 and "not frail", "vulnerable" and “frail’” for the EFS. Results We evaluated 673 older adults, predominantly brown, between 60 and 74 years old and female. According to the IVCF-20, 153 (22.7%) of the older adults were classified as "frail", 195 (29%) as "risk of frail" and 325 (48.3%) as "robust". According to the EFS, 159 older adults (23.6%) were classified as "frail"; 112 (16.6%) older adults "apparently vulnerable" and 402 (59.7%) "not frail". Pearson's correlation coefficient was 0.865 (p<0.001) and showed a positive correlation between the instruments and Kappa statistics showed a value of 0.532 (p=0.027), revealing moderate agreement. Conclusion The instruments evaluated showed moderate agreement and strong positive correlation, despite the differences between some of their components. Both showed to be compatible for the assessment of frailty in older adults in the context of Primary Health Care.
