Frailty is a condition that can increase the risk of falls. In addition, foot pain can influence older adults and affect their frail condition. The main objective was to measure the frailty degree in older adults in a Spanish population with foot pain from moderate to severe. Method: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. A sample of people older than 60 years (n = 52), including 26 males and 26 females, were recruited, and frailty disability was measured using the 5-Frailty scale and the Edmonton Frailty scale (EFS). Results: Spearman’s correlation coefficients were categorized as weak (rs ≤ 0.40), moderate (0.41 ≤ rs ≥ 0.69), or strong (0.70 ≤ rs ≥ 1.00). There was a statistically significant correlation for the total score (p < 0.001) and most of the subscales of the 5-Frailty scale compared with the EFS, except for Mood (p > 0.05). In addition, females and males showed similar 5-Frailty and Edmonton Frail scales scores with no difference (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Foot pain above 5 points, i.e., from moderate to severe, does not affect the fragility more in one sex than another.

“…In addition, Lara-Palomo et al 39 concluded that the use of IF electro-massage provides a significant improvement in QOL and pain reduction compared to superficial massage. Nevertheless, chronic pain impairs the general health related QOL 40 . Furthermore, Fuentes et al 41 applied one IF session and showed a significant pain reduction in patients with nonspecific CLBP compared to placebo.…”

Un essai contrôlé aléatoire analysant l'impact de la thérapie interférentielle sur la douleur, la régularité du mouvement et la qualité de vie chez les patients atteints d'une douleur lombaire chronique non spécifique Introduction. L'électrothérapie est une méthode non pharmacologique, non invasive et simple de traitement des douleurs dorsales qui est aussi appliquée par thérapie interférentielle (IF). L'objectif de l'étude était d'étudier l'effet de la FI sur la douleur, l'amplitude des mouvements et la qualité de vie chez les patients souffrant de lombalgie chronique non spécifique (CNLBP). Matériel et méthodes. 61 patients souffrant de CNLBP ont été randomisés dans le groupe IF (n = 30) et le placebo IF (n = 31). Tous les patients ont bénéficié ABSTRACT Introduction. Electrotherapy is a non-pharmacologic, non-invasive and simple method of back pain treatment that is also applied using interferential (IF) therapy. The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of IF on pain, range of motion, and quality of life in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP). Materials and methods. 61 patients suffering from CNLBP were randomly assigned to IF group (n=30) and placebo IF (n=31). All patients received supervised exercises 3 times per week for 4 weeks. The outcome measures were visual analogue scale (VAS), lumbar range of motion (ROM) in terms of flexion& extension and the Short Form-36 (SF-36) health questionnaire to evaluate the quality of life (QOL).

“…QoL is an extensive and subjective construct [12] that "broadly encompasses how an individual measures the 'goodness' of multiple aspects of their life" [13]. The importance of studying healthrelated QoL in distinct health problems is widely recognized in previously published articles in this journal [14][15][16][17]. In old age this concept is even more important since it is commonly accepted that a shorter life with quality is better than a longer one without it [12].…”

Introduction: Given the number of patients with mental conditions who receive treatment within the primary care (PC) context, and the high prevalence of multimorbidity (especially in older people), there is a need to study mental-physical multimorbidity (MPM) in this population and context. This study sought to identify the impact on health-related quality of life (QoL) of MPM in adults aged 60 years and older. Material and methods: Secondary analysis of data derived from 251 primary health individuals. Data were collected via a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire. Health-related QoL was assessed using the SF-12 instrument. Multiple linear regressions were performed for physical and mental health in MPM patients and in patients with physical-only multimorbidity. Results: Mean age of participants was 70.6 years; 57.8% were female. Quality of life was lower in MPM patients than in those with physical-only multimorbidity. Regarding MPM patients, female sex, 75 years and over, and low income were associated with worse physical health. Female sex was also associated with worse mental health. Conclusions: This study contributes to the global knowledge of MPM in older people, illuminates health-related QoL differences among MPM and physicalonly multimorbidity patients, and highlights the importance of non-modifiable characteristics associated with deterioration of health-related QoL. Team collaboration between primary care physicians, psychiatrists (and other mental health providers), and social workers may be necessary to assess psychiatric and physical symptoms and provide for the care needs of older people with MPM.
