Association between functional capacity and family functionality with frailty in older adults with cardiovascular risk in southwestern Colombia
Abstract
Introduction. The changes associated with aging are multidimensional and multifactorial, with the geriatric syndrome of frailty being its most problematic and complex expression. This syndrome leads to vulnerability, disproportionate changes in health status, and functional decline, making its effective identification and comprehensive management necessary.
Objective. To describe the sociodemographic, clinical, and functional characteristics of older adults with cardiovascular risk in Southwestern Colombia.
Materials and methods. This study has an observational, cross-sectional, and analytical design. The selected population included older adults enrolled in a cardiovascular and metabolic risk program in Popayán (Cauca). A multivariate analysis explored the relationship between frailty and certain sociodemographic, clinical, and functional variables.
Results. A total of 293 older adults participated, primarily women (69.6%), with an average age of 71.23 years. Among them, 77.1% were classified as independent in basic activities and 56.3% in instrumental activities of daily living, with autonomy being more prevalent among men. Additionally, 71.1% of women and 43.8% of men were classified as prefrail. The bivariate analysis identified a relationship between frailty and variables such as sex, age, marital status, educational level, occupation, calf circumference, functional capacity, instrumental capacity, and family functionality. The multivariate analysis showed a higher frailty/prefrailty prevalence (55%) in women.
Conclusions. Most participants were classified as prefrail; dependency and frailty were more prevalent in women, suggesting the need for preventive strategies and interventions from a gender-differentiated approach.
