Prevalencia de fragilidad en personas mayores de 70 años en la Zona Básica de Benicalap: estudio transversal.

Abstract

El creciente envejecimiento de la población ha venido acompañado de deterioro funcional y discapacidad y ha puesto de manifiesto que se debe de actuar sobre factores que son modificables como la fragilidad. La estimación de la prevalencia de la fragilidad es elevada (18%) y con una variabilidad del 12% al 45%. Este estado de fragilidad se asocia con un mayor riesgo de resultados adversos, la multimorbilidad y el deterioro capacidad funcional. Sin embargo, lo más importante es que es una situación prevenible, y en ocasiones, reversible, mediante su detección precoz. Por estos motivos se ha considerado pertinente realizar una evaluación de la prevalencia de este síndrome y sus factores de riesgo ampliando así la imagen que fundamente futuras intervenciones en esta población con el fin de prevenir, detectar o revertir la fragilidad. Objetivo: Estimar la prevalencia de las personas mayores de 70 años en situación de fragilidad de la Zona Básica de Benicalap en la Comunidad Valenciana, durante 2023. Se llevará a cabo un estudio descriptivo observacional y transversal entre la población mayor de 70 años pertenecientes al Centro de Salud de Azucena en la Zona Básica de Benicalap de Valencia. Se determinará la prevalencia de la Fragilidad siguiendo los criterios del fenotipo de Fried y se realizará un análisis descriptivo de las variables relacionadas con la fragilidad.

Introduction: The increasing aging of the population has been accompanied by functional deterioration and disability and has highlighted that action must be taken on factors that are modifiable such as frailty. The estimated prevalence of frailty is high (18%) and with a variability from 12% to 45%. This state of frailty is associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes, multimorbidity and impaired functional capacity. However, the most important thing is that it is a preventable situation, and sometimes reversible, through early detection. For these reasons, it has been considered pertinent to evaluate the prevalence of this syndrome and its risk factors, thus broadening the picture to support future interventions in this population with the aim of preventing, detecting or reversing frailty. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of frailty in people over 70 years of age in the basic area of Benicalap in the Valencian Community, during 2023. Methods: A descriptive observational and cross-sectional study will be carried out among the population over 70 years of age belonging to the Azucena Health Center in the Benicalap Basic Zone of Valencia. The prevalence of frailty will be determined following Fried's Phenotype criteria and a descriptive analysis of variables related to frailty will be carried out.
