“…On the other hand, Oliveira et al (2013) did not report age and female gender as influential factors. As in many studies, we also observed in our study that women were being affected by the condition predominantly (Jürschik et al 2012;Moreira and Lourenço 2013;Oliveira et al 2013;González-Vaca et al 2014;Gale et al 2015). However, it seems difficult to explain this result with the findings of our study.…”

“…In our study the sociodemographic factors associated with frailty were identified as age, female gender, low education status (literate), being a housewife, and living with the family. In the literature, especially age and female gender stand out as determining factors in frailty (Heuberger 2011;Jürschik et al 2012;Castell et al 2013;Hoover et al 2013;Kobayashi et al 2013;Moreira and Lourenço 2013;González-Vaca et al 2014;Runzer-Colmenares et al 2014).

“…Frailty is a medical condition commonly defined as a multidimensional geriatric syndrome with the components of loss of reserves in energy, physical ability, cognition, and health, which give rise to vulnerability (Rockwood et al 2005;González-Vaca et al 2014). It is accepted as a clinical concept of observable physical and functional decline in the body associated with physiological changes during later life (Walston et al 2002).…”

Frailty is one of the geriatric syndromes and has an important relationship with mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study is to present the characteristics, prevalence, and related factors of frailty in older adults in our country. The study included 1126 individuals over 65 years of age from 13 centers. Frailty was evaluated using the Fried Frailty criteria, and patients were grouped as Bfrail,^Bpre-frail,^and Bnon-frail.N utritional status was assessed with BMini Nutritional Test,^psychological status with the BCenter for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale-CES-D,^and additional diseases with the "Charlson Comorbidity index." Approximately 66.5 % of the participants were between 65 and 74 years of age and 65.7 % were AGE (2015) women. Some 39.2 and 43.3 % of the participants were rated as frail and pre-frail, respectively. The multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to determine the factors associated with frailty. It was observed that age, female gender, low education level, being a housewife, living with the family, being sedentary, presence of an additional disease, using 4 or more drugs/day, avoiding to go outside, at least one visit to any emergency department within the past year, hospitalization within the past year, non-functional ambulation, and malnutrition increased the risk of frailty (p<0.05). Establishing the factors associated with frailty is highly important for both clinical practice and national economy. This is the first study on this subject in our country and will provide guidance in determining treatment strategies.

“…The advance of this syndrome leads to the need for formal health care, mainly in developing countries, where a large part of the population is low income, without socioeconomic conditions to manage home care. The prevalence of institutionalized frail elderly has been estimated at 34.9%, (1) 53.7% (2) and 68.8% (3) in studies undertaken in Europe, and 49.3% (4) and 45.8% (5) in Brazilian studies.…”

Objective: To assess the quality of life of institutionalized frail elderly. Methods: Cross-sectional study including 33 frail and pre-frail elderly, classified based on the Edmonton Frailty Scale. An instrument was applied to characterize the sociodemographic aspects and the World Health Organization Quality of Life for Older Persons to assess the quality of life. Results: The female sex was predominant (54.5%) and the mean age was 76.8 years (±9.3). A significant association was observed between the quality of life and all of its facets, and a strong relation was found between quality of life and "past, present and future activities" (r=0.715; p<0.001). Conclusion: The presence of frailty did not interfere directly in the elderly's quality of life and showed a significant association with the motive for the institutionalization. ResumoObjetivo: Avaliar a qualidade de vida de idosos frágeis institucionalizados. Métodos: Estudo transversal com a inclusão de 33 idosos frágeis e pré-frágeis, classificados a partir da Escala de Fragilidade de Edmonton. Foram aplicados: um instrumento para caracterização dos aspectos sociodemográficos e o instrumento World Health Organization Quality of Life for Older Persons para avaliação da qualidade de vida. Resultados: Houve predomínio do sexo feminino (54,5%) e a média de idade foi de 76,8 anos (±9,3). Observou-se associação significativa entre a qualidade de vida e todas suas facetas, e houve forte relação entre qualidade de vida e "atividades passadas, presentes e futuras" (r=0,715; p<0,001). Conclusão: A presença de fragilidade não interferiu diretamente na qualidade de vida de idosos e apresentou associação significativa com motivo de institucionalização.

“…Há um consenso entre os estudiosos da área do envelhecimento de que a fragilidade se associa a desfechos adversos de saúde como declínio funcional, dependência, quedas recorrentes, fraturas, institucionalização, hospitalização e morte (FREIHEIT et al, 2011;GONZÁLEZ-VACA et al,2014).…”

In the analysis of the scale items, a significant difference was observed between the two assessments as for the cognitive function, hospitalization in the last 12 months, description of the health condition, functional capacity, polypharmacy, urinary incontinence and functional performance. A correlation between education and number of diseases with frailty was also observed, in which, the lower the education level, the higher the frailty score, and the higher the evolution of the number of diseases, the higher the frailty score. Among the older people who died, most were women...
