| Popis: | Objective: to analyze the association between self-rated health and the frailty syndrome in the elderly assisted in a geriatric service.Method: this longitudinal study had the participation of 150 elderly people at the baseline. After eight years of study, 54 elderly people from the initial sample received a second evaluation. Participants were assessed and reassessed for their self-rated health, which was classified as poor, more or less, and good, as well as for the frailty phenotype identified by five components: weakness, slowness, low level of physical activity, exhaustion and non-weight loss intentional. Those with no components were classified as non-frail, those with one or two components were classified as pre-frail and those with three or more components were considered frail. To compare the variables of self-rated health (poor, more or less or good); frailty classification (non-frail, pre-frail and frail) and frailty components (weakness, slowness, low level of physical activity, exhaustion and unintentional weight loss), chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were performed.Results: self-rated “poor” health was associated with the components “slowness” and “exhaustion” (p |
