ABSTRACT

Introduction: Frailty syndrome is characterized by greater vulnerability and risk of functional deterioration in the face of minimal stress, consecuence of the dysregulation of multiple physiological systems in the elderly.
Objective: To determine the frequency of frailty phenotypes in individuals aged 65 years and over, according to the selected variables.
Methods: A secondary analysis of the database of the Aging and Alzheimer study was carried out, through a descriptive and cross-sectional study in individuals aged 65 years and over, belonging to seven health areas of Havana from 2007 to 2010. Two thousand twenty four (2024) individuals made up the sample, which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data were statistically validated using Chi square and Fisher's exact test.
Results: The frequency of frailty phenotypes (pre-frailty and frailty) was 54% and 5.0%, respectively. The group of 80 years and over predominated as in 66.9% and 11.0% and in women with 60.5% and 6.4%, respectively. In those with a lower level of schooling, the frequency of frailty reached 24.8%. 54.4% of the alcohol drinkers were pre-frail. The frequency of frailty reached 50% in the group of those with more than three diseases. According to the care needs, 68.2% were pre-frail and 27.4%, frail.
Conclusions: The pre-frailty phenotype predominated in the older individuals studied, more frequently in those over 80 years of age. Female sex, lower level of schooling, alcohol drinkers, multimorbidity and care needs were related to higher prevalence of pre-frailty and frailty phenotypes.
