Frailty and cognitive performance in older adults living in the community: a cross-sectional study

Abstract: Background: Cognitive impairment and frailty are important problems affecting the elderly population. Frail elderly present worse overall cognitive performance. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate general and domain-specific cognitive performance among non-frail, pre-frail, and frail elderly persons. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study in which 267 elderly persons living in São Carlos, SP were divided into three groups according to the frailty criteria defined by Fried et al. Cognitive per… Show more

“…No significant differences were observed between prefrail and non-frail groups in the naming function, assessed by the BNT, in the present work, in contrast to previous studies ( 39 , 61 ). Because prefrailty is an intermediate state of frailty syndrome, some authors ( 61 ) hypothesized that language impairment could contribute to a more rapid progression of the syndrome.…”

“…Previous studies have also reported a significant impairment of sustained attention (56) and executive function in prefrail (39) and frail (55,(57)(58)(59)(60) older adults. No significant differences were observed between prefrail and non-frail groups in the naming function, assessed by the BNT, in the present work, in contrast to previous studies (39,61). Because prefrailty is an intermediate state of frailty syndrome, some authors (61) hypothesized that language impairment could contribute to a more rapid progression of the syndrome.…”

“…Studies have proposed that prefrail persons may present with poorer cognitive performance than non‐frail in both memory and non‐memory cognitive domains 13 . Frailty may be significantly associated with lower global scores on cognitive tests 14 …”
