Frailty and depressive symptoms in older adults: data from the FIBRA study - UNICAMP

Abstract: The relationship between the presence of depression, as measured by total score on the GDS-15 scale, and both pre-frailty and frailty status in community-dwelling elderly was determined. Two thousand four hundred and two elderly residents from seven Brazilian cities (M = 72.3 years, SD = 5.5; 66 % female) were evaluated according to the five criteria comprising the frailty phenotype. Participants answered a self-report inventory of diseases, of performance on advanced and instrumental activities of daily livin… Show more

“…Poor QOL as an indicator of risk of the presence of multiple co-occurring diseases and geriatric syndromes is relevant for planning and implementing health promotion and preventive programs for older adults, especially to direct efforts at preventing or delaying frailty status among community-dwelling older people. Considering pre-frailty as a preceding status of frailty, the prevalence and types of depressive symptoms continuously worsen with increasing severity of frailty, increasing lower positive feelings (Nascimiento et al 2016). In this regard, we demonstrate the need for a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach aimed at preventing frailty and also the impact of depressive symptoms and, consequently, improving the QOL in older people.…”
