| Abstract | Introduction: The detection of frailty in the elderly is key to preventing disability. The main objective of this study is to find out the proportion of frail people in subjects aged 70 and over who attend a health center in A Coruña (Spain). Methods: Cross-sectional study, carried out from August 2020 to April 2021. Consecutive selection of patients ≥70 years, with Barthel ≥90, who accessed the health center. Dependent variables: Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), Get Up and Go (TUG) and Gait Speed (MV); independent: gender, age, number of falls in the last year, number of drugs used chronically, and Charlson index. Results: The sample was 114 people. The proportion of frail people is 16.7% (95% CI 10.94-24.57) with the SPPB, 28.6% in those aged 80 and over; and 36.8% using VM. The risk of frailty increases by at least 4.1% for each year of age after 70. Being a woman multiplies the risk by at least 1.5. The concordance between frailty according to the SPPB and MV is 46.8% (95% CI 30.85-62.77). Conclusions: The prevalence of frailty in independent people for basic ADL who attend a health center is at least 10.94%. Both the SPPB and the MV are feasible and useful methods in primary care. |
