“…8,17 This was not observed in the elderly individuals from the geriatric outpatient clinic of the HUJBB because, although most of the elderly persons were female, there was no statistically significant difference between the three groups in relation to gender, findings that were similar to those of MonteroOdasso. 18 Although the presence of comorbidities not mean frailty, it may indicate higher chances for the development of the syndrome by altering the health status of the elderly individudal.…”

“…4,15,[20][21][22] Na avaliação da funcionalidade, observouse que a maioria dos idosos foi independente para realização de todas as ABVDs e AIVDs, apesar de comprometimento funcional mais evidente para realização das AIVDs. Esses resultados estão em congruência com outros estudos, 23,24 visto que as atividades instrumentais são consideradas tarefas mais adaptativas para a vida independente na comunidade e, portanto, de execução mais difícil e complexa do que as atividades básicas. 25 Outros estudos de investigação da capacidade funcional de idosos da comunidade verificaram também independência funcional da maioria dos participantes para execução das ABVDs, avaliadas pelo índice de Katz, e AIVD, avaliadas pela escala de Lawton.…”

There was no significant differences between the presence of frailty and gender and age, but studies commonly show the relationship of frailty in women and in the eldest elderlies [3,4,8,10,13,15,16]. Thus, frailty syndrome may increase with aging, 10% to 25% above 60 years old, and 46% above 80 years old [10].…”
