Physical Activity and Mobility Impairment Across the Frailty Spectrum Among the Oldest Old: Insights From the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil).
This study analyzed data from the second wave of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil) to examine the prevalence of frailty and its association with physical activity (PA) and mobility impairments in a nationally representative sample of older adults aged 80 and older in Brazil. ELSI-Brazil is a national resource that investigates aging-related health, psychosocial, and economic factors to inform public policies promoting healthy aging. Data from 1,171 participants were analyzed using chi-square tests, ANOVA, and logistic regression adjusted for confounders. About 14% were classified as frail, 73% as pre-frail, and 13% as robust. Frail individuals were less likely to meet PA guidelines (OR = 12.95; 95% CI [6.44-26.08]) and had higher odds of short-distance walking impairment (OR = 1.88; 95% CI [1.02-3.48]) compared to their robust counterparts. Our findings suggest a relatively low prevalence of frailty among Brazil's oldest old but indicated a significant association with physical inactivity and mobility impairment.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society. It features articles that focus on research applications intended to improve the quality of life of older persons or to enhance our understanding of age-related issues that will eventually lead to such outcomes. We construe application broadly and encourage contributions across a range of applications toward those foci, including interventions, methodology, policy, and theory. Manuscripts from all disciplines represented in gerontology are welcome. Because the circulation and intended audience of JAG is global, contributions from international authors are encouraged.
