          Abstract

          Objective

          The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between cognition and frailty in the elderly.

          Methods

          A systematic review on the currently existing literature concerning the subject was carried out. The search strategy included LILACS, SCOPUS, SciELO, PsycINFO, PubMed and Web of Science databases.

          Results

          A total of 19 studies were selected for review, from which 10 (52.6%) were cross-sectional and 9 (47.4%) longitudinal, and the majority Brazilian. All of the studies established a link between cognition and frailty. There was a relationship between components of frailty and the cognitive domains. Risk of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), dementia and mortality were all evidenced in the relationship between frailty and cognitive impairment.

          Conclusion

          The theory remains limited, but results show the variables that appear to be linked to cognition and frailty in elderly. This data can help in implementing actions to improve the quality of life among elderly.

          Objetivo

          Este estudo objetivou analisar a relação entre cognição e fragilidade em pessoas idosas.

          Métodos

          Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre o assunto. A estratégia de busca incluiu as bases LILACS, SCOPUS, SciELO, PsycINFO, PubMed e Web of Science.

          Resultados

          Foram selecionados 19 estudos para revisão. Dos estudos, 10 (52,6%) eram transversais e 9 (47,4%) longitudinais, sendo a maioria brasileiros. Todos os estudos estabeleceram relação entre cognição e fragilidade. Componentes da fragilidade e os domínios cognitivos apresentaram-se relacionados. Risco de Comprometimento Cognitivo Leve (CCL), demência e mortalidade foi evidenciado a partir da relação entre fragilidade e alterações cognitivas.

          Conclusão

          A literatura continua limitada, mas os resultados mostram as variáveis que parecem estar relacionadas à cognição e fragilidade em pessoas idosas. Esses dados poderão auxiliar na implantação de ações para melhorar a qualidade de vida desses idosos.

            Prevalence, attributes, and outcomes of fitness and frailty in community-dwelling older adults: report from the Canadian study of health and aging.

            Frailty and fitness are important attributes of older persons, but population samples of their prevalence, attributes, and outcomes are limited. The authors report data from the community-dwelling sample (n = 9008) of the Canadian Study of Health and Aging, a representative, 5-year prospective cohort study. Fitness and frailty were determined by self-reported exercise and function level and testing of cognition. Among the community-dwelling elderly population, 171 per 1000 were very fit and 12 per 1000 were very frail. Frailty increased with age, so that by age 85 years and older, 44 per 1000 were very frail. The risk for adverse health outcomes increased markedly with frailty: Compared with older adults who exercise, those who were moderately or severely frail had a relative risk for institutionalization of 8.6 (95% confidence interval, 4.9 to 15.2) and for death of 7.3 (95% confidence interval, 4.7 to 11.4). These risks persist after adjustments for age, sex, comorbid conditions, and poor self-rated health. At all ages, men reported higher levels of exercise and less frailty compared with women. Decreased fitness and increased frailty were also associated with poor self-ratings of health (42% in the most frail vs 7% in the most fit), more comorbid illnesses (6 vs 3), and more social isolation (34% vs 29%). Fitness and frailty form a continuum and predict survival. Exercise influences survival, even in old age. Relative fitness and frailty can be determined quickly in a clinical setting, are potentially useful markers of the risk for adverse health outcomes, and add value to traditional medical assessments that focus on diagnoses.
