“…Early detection of disability can be beneficial for individuals who need more attention [29]; this requires functional assessments to be performed by physicians, physiotherapists and nurses in a primary care setting. Health professionals should implement geriatric evaluations regularly to identify their health care needs, with a goal to improve the overall health status of the elderly [5,43].…”

“…Older people also may have decreased functional capacity due to alterations in physiology during their lifespan; as a result, they demonstrate disabilities in the Basic Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) [5]. The ADL are fundamental activities for independent life at home, which include bathing, feeding oneself, etc.…”

Aims To know the prevalence, associated factors and temporal trends of disabilities for basic and instrumental activities of daily living in older people in Spain from 2009 to 2017. Background Disability in older people is associated with health problems, increased health costs and low quality of life. There are no updated data in Spain with a representative sample about disability. Methods Cross-sectional study with 25,465 non-institutionalized older people who participated in the European Health Survey in 2009 and 2014 and the National Health Survey in 2011/12 and 2017 in Spain. The prevalence rates of disability were evaluated using the Katz Scale and Lawton and Brody Scale. Logistic regression was used to determine if there was an association between basic and instrumental activities of daily living and sociodemographic characteristics. Results More individuals had disability for instrumental activities of daily living (31.9%) than disability for basic activities of daily living (11.1%). The most predominant disability for instrumental activities of daily living was performing severe housework (34%). The prevalence of disabilities decreased from 2009 to 2017. In general, disability was associated with female gender, advanced age, lower education, restricted daily activity, being bedridden and higher pain levels. Conclusion There is a considerable prevalence of disabilities for basic and instrumental activities of daily living in older people in Spain. Although the disability prevalence has decreased slowly from 2009 to 2017, it continues to remain a health problem. Gender may influence the disabilities for basic and instrumental activities of daily living. Health policymakers should establish prevention strategies and effective interventions (e.g., physical exercise) for prevention and reduction of the disabilities for basic and instrumental activities of daily living, particularly in older females.

The Manageable Geriatric Assessment (MAGIC) questionnaire, recently developed by a group of European family doctors for multidimensional geriatric assessment in primary care, has not yet been evaluated in clinical practice. The objectives of this study were to translate and adapt it to Spanish and to check the association between the limitations of older adults identified by this questionnaire and their perceived health status assessed by the five-level version of the EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D-5L). First, questionnaire translation, back translation and cognitive test were applied. Then, a cross-sectional observational study was performed in two Spanish health centers Galicia, Spain. Participants were 170 people aged over 75, recruited opportunistically by consecutive case sampling. Anonymous surveys were used to collect data. The MAGIC questionnaire, the EQ-5D-5L scale, age and sex were employed. The visual analog scale of EQ-5D-5L (EQ VAS) was used as the outcome variable. Descriptive and bivariate analyses by sex and outcome variable are presented. The linear regression analysis showed an association with quality of life for daily activities, recognizing people and stress incontinence. As this is associated with quality of life, the MAGIC questionnaire may be useful in primary care and a study to investigate the impact on health with a clinical trial would be worth considering.

“…El proceso de envejecimiento se acompaña de una serie de acontecimientos que, de no determinarse en su momento, pueden tener efectos deletéreos sobre la calidad de vida del adulto mayor. La disminución de la agudeza visual y de la audición estaban presentes en un 47,4 % y 37,8 %, respectivamente, de la muestra, lo que agrava la situación complicada de este grupo poblacional debido a sus repercusiones en el ámbito funcional, psicológico y social, según lo reportado en estudios previos (29).…”
