to measure the prevalence of frailty syndrome in elderly inpatients in a hospital institution.
cross-sectional study using a sample of 99 subjects aged 65 or older, hospitalized in the month of November/2010 in São Vicente de Paulo Hospital in Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul state (RS). Data were collected regarding the phenotype of the frailty, along with social and demographic, clinical and anthropometric information.
the mean age was 74.5±6.8 years and 50 (50.5%) were women. 4% were classified as non-frail, 49 (49.5%) as pre-frail and 46 (46.5%) as frail. No statistically significant factors were identified that were associated with frailty.
as was expected, the prevalence in this population was found to be high compared to other studies that focused on the community. It is believed that early detection and interdisciplinary intervention can prevent the progression of the condition and reduce the incidence of complications and hospitalization.
测量某医院机构老年住院患者中衰弱综合征的患病率。
采用横断面研究，样本为99名65岁及以上的受试者，于2010年11月在南里奥格兰德州帕索丰杜的圣维森特·德·保罗医院住院。收集了有关衰弱表型的数据，以及社会人口学、临床和人体测量学信息。
平均年龄为74.5±6.8岁，50名（50.5%）为女性。4%被归类为非衰弱，49名（49.5%）为衰弱前期，46名（46.5%）为衰弱。未发现与衰弱相关的具有统计学意义的因素。
正如预期的那样，与其他关注社区的研究相比，该人群中的患病率较高。据信，早期发现和跨学科干预可以预防病情进展，降低并发症和住院的发生率。
