Methods: A cross-sectional, quantitative study. The sample size was calculated based on the estimate of population proportion and consisted of 203 elderly. Data were collected by using a questionnaire of physical activity for the elderly, fatigue/exhaustion, quality of life, and by carrying out a test of gait speed, handgrip strength and anthropometric measurement. Results: Among the 203 seniors, 39 were fragile. The mean scores for quality of life presented by the frail elderly were the following: 60.4 for pain, functional capacity 61.1, limitations due to physical aspects 71.1, general state of health 71.4, vitality 75, mental health 76.4, emotional aspects 81.1 and social aspects 85.6. Conclusion: The dimensions of quality of life of the frail elderly that had lower mean scores were pain, functional capacity, limitations due to physical aspects and general state of health. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
