Objective: to describe the relationship of spirituality and religiosity with gender, age and family income of the elderly people. Methods: this is a cross-sectional study with 643 elderly people using a socio-demographic questionnaire and a brief multidimensional measure of religiosity/spirituality. A descriptive analysis, Student's t-test (sex) and Pearson correlation for age and Spearman for income (p<0.05) were performed. Results: female prevailed, age group 60|-70 years old, living with the partner, education level of 1|-5 years of study and income of a minimum wage. The female presented higher averages than the male in most of the dimensions of religiosity and spirituality. The age presented a weak positive correlation in the dimensions of organizational religiosity and global self-assessment; while income did not present a statistically significant correlation. Conclusion: female and older adults presented greater dimensions of religiosity and spirituality, while income did not present significant correlation.

“…Incapacity leads to greater vulnerability and dependence in old age, thereby contributing to a decrease in the wellbeing and quality of life of elderly individuals. 26 Leite et al 27 assessed the functional capacity and cognitive level of elderly individuals living in a municipality of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and found that most of the participants (93.8%) were independent, both in terms of performing IADLs and ADLs. These results are similar to those found in the present study.…”

Introduction: The elderly population has risen sharply in Brazil, increasing the need for a health policy focused on health promotion and disease prevention. Attention should also be focused on functional capacity because of the personal and family suffering caused by dependency, as well as the increased demand placed on public services. Objective: To check the health and functional capacity of elderly residents in a small town with a high population aging rate. Methods: A cross-sectional, analytical and non-probabilistic study was performed of 528 elderly persons aged ≥60 years, of both genders, who were evaluated in their home environment. The variables of interest were general health and functional capacity, assessed by the adapted Katz and Lawton and Brody scales. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive and analytical statistical tools. To assess the association between variables the chi-squared test was used, accepting the hypothesis of dependency of variables with p=0.05. Results: The mean age was 72.24±9.33 years. Functional capacity assessment identified that most of the elderly persons carried out activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) independently; with percentages of 90% and 83.7%, respectively. A statistically significant association was observed ( p=0.001) between reports of falls and functional capacity levels. Conclusion:The results show that the elderly of this municipality are mostly independent in performing their daily tasks, representing successful aging.

“…Por su parte (Silva, Pérez, Fernández, & Tovar, 2014), encontró que la mayoría de los participantes de su estudio contaban con estudios de primaria completos con un 54,5%, seguido por la secundaria completa con el 18,2%. En el mismo sentido ( (Leite, Castioni, Kirchner, & Hildebrandt, 2015), reporta que un gran número de las personas mayores participantes en su estudio 87,8% tienen ninguno o limitado número de años de estudio formal. Lo anteriormente dicho en relación con el nivel educativo de las personas mayores, representa una condición social y funcional desfavorable para este grupo de personas, y es además un factor de riesgo para la aparición de deterioro cognitivo; por esta razón, esta condición requiere de un análisis más profundo en futuras investigaciones.…”

Introducción: La evaluación funcional del adulto mayor es uno de los principales ejes de la valoración geriátrica integral, pues resulta esencial para orientar el trabajo de profesionales relacionados con las personas mayores. Objetivo: Valorar la capacidad funcional y las actividades de la vida diaria, en población adulta mayor vinculada a dos instituciones geriátricas de la ciudad de Cali. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, realizado en dos instituciones geriátricas a 87 adultos mayores de 60 años. Se realizó un muestreo a conveniencia, previo consentimiento informado, considerando criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Se midió la capacidad funcional a través de las medidas basadas en la ejecución y las actividades de la vida diaria mediante la escala de Barthel. Resultados: Los participantes en este estudio en su mayoría son mujeres con un 56.3 %, predomino el nivel educativo primaria con un 41.4 %, el 82.7 % presenta alta probabilidad de caidas, el 66.6 % muestran ser independientes, seguido de un 21 % que presentan dependencia moderada. Conclusión: La mayor parte de la población participante en este estudio es independiente, tan solo el 34 % presenta dependencia leve a moderada, sin embargo, es un porcentaje considerable que requiere la toma de medidas tendientes a mejorar el grado de independencia en las actividades de la vida diaria de esta población objeto de estudio.
