Postural instability and the condition of physical frailty in the elderly.

Abstract

Objetivo: analizar la relación entre inestabilidad postural, la condición y los marcadores de fragilidad física de adultos mayores en consultorio de geriatría y gerontología. Método: estudio transversal con muestra constituida por 381 adultos mayores. La fragilidad física fue evaluada mediante el fenotipo de fragilidad y la inestabilidad postural por la Escala de Equilibrio de Berg. Se realizaron análisis univariados con el test Chi-cuadrado y multivariados con el Forward Stepwise, que resultó en el modelo de fragilidad física asociado a la inestabilidad postural. Resultados: de los participantes, 56 (14,7%) eran frágiles, 217 (57%) pre-frágiles y 68 (28,3%) no frágiles. Se asociaron a la inestabilidad postural la prefragilidad (p<0,001), fragilidad (p=0,000) y los marcadores fuerza de prensión manual (p=0,0008), pérdida de peso no intencional (p=0,0094), nivel de actividad física (p=0,0001), fatiga/agotamiento (p<0,0001) y velocidad de la marcha (p<0,0001). Conclusión: la presencia de inestabilidad postural determina mayor chance del adulto mayor de ser frágil o pre-frágil. Ese resultado favorece la planificación de los cuidados gerontológicos de enfermería y fortalece el plan de tratamiento bajo un abordaje específico.

Objetivo: analisar a relação entre instabilidade postural e a condição e os marcadores de fragilidade física de idosos em assistência ambulatorial de geriatria e gerontologia. Método: estudo transversal com amostra constituída por 381 idosos. A fragilidade física foi avaliada mediante o fenótipo de fragilidade e a instabilidade postural pela Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg. Realizaram-se análises univariadas pelo teste Qui-quadrado e multivariadas pelo Forward Stepwise, que resultou no modelo de fragilidade física associado à instabilidade postural. Resultados: dos participantes, 56 (14,7%) eram frágeis, 217 (57%) pré-frágeis e 68 (28,3%) não frágeis. Associaram-se à instabilidade postural a pré-fragilidade (p<0,001), fragilidade (p=0,000) e os marcadores força de preensão manual (p=0,0008), perda de peso não intencional (p=0,0094), nível de atividade física (p=0,0001), fadiga/exaustão (p<0,0001) e velocidade da marcha (p<0,0001). Conclusão: a presença de instabilidade postural determina maior chance do idoso ser frágil ou pré-frágil. Esse resultado favorece o planejamento dos cuidados gerontológicos de enfermagem e fortalece o plano de tratamento sob uma abordagem específica.

Objective: to analyze the relationship between postural instability and the condition and markers of physical frailty of the elderly people in outpatient geriatric and gerontology care. Method: a cross-sectional study with a sample of 381 elderly subjects. Physical frailty was evaluated by the frailty phenotype and postural instability through the Berg Balance Scale. Univariate analyses consisted in Chi-square tests, and multivariate analyses used the Forward Stepwise method, which resulted in a model of physical frailty associated with postural instability. Results: among the participants, 56 (14.7%) were frail, 217 (57%) pre-frail, and 68 (28.3%) non-frail. Pre-frailty (p < 0.001), frailty (p = 0.000), and the markers hand grip strength (p = 0.0008), unintentional weight loss (p = 0.0094), level of physical activity (p = 0.0001), fatigue/exhaustion (p = 0.0001), and gait speed (p = 0.0001) were associated with postural instability. Conclusion: the presence of postural instability determines a greater chance of the elderly being frail or pre-frail. This result favors the planning of gerontological nursing care and strengthens the treatment plan under a specific approach.
