Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the longitudinal association between physical frailty and change in the profile of limitation to perform basic and instrumental activities of daily living (BADL and IADL) and mortality in a 10-year period in Brazilian community-dwelling older people. Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted with data from the Frailty in Brazilian Older People (FIBRA) study, 2009-2019. Physical frailty was categorized into vulnerability (pre-frail and frail) and robustness. Limitation in BADL and IADL was assessed by the Katz Index and Lawton-Brody Scale. The generalized estimating equation and the Cox proportional hazards models were used in the data analysis. Results: Out of 200 older people evaluated in 2009,139 were located in 2019. Of these, 102 were interviewed and 37 deaths were recorded. The chance of vulnerable older people at moment 1 being dependent on performing BADL at moment 2 was 4.19-fold the chance of robust older people. For IADL, the chance of vulnerable older people at moment 1 being dependent at moment 2 was 3.12-fold the chance of robust older people. Cox’s analysis showed that the risk of death among vulnerable older people was 2.50-fold that among robust older people. The results reinforce the importance of monitoring and early intervention to prevent frailty.
