Previous issue date: 2011-12-19 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / Introduction: The frailty in the elderly is the result of a complex interplay between many social and clinical factors involved in its genesis. Although there is an understanding of its association with increased risk of adverse clinical outcomes, still it is unclear whether this syndrome can be aggravated due to lack of social support. So, the objective of this study was to analyze the association between social support and frailty syndrome in elderly community residents. Materials and methods: Observational analytical cross-sectional study, with a sample of 300 elderly living in the city of Natal-RN. Were collected informations about socialdemographic, economics and physical health data. The Social support was assessed by the status of cohabitation; marital status; contact frequency and diversity rate; received and given attendance frequency rate; and Map Minimum Relations of the Elderly. The frailty was assessed using the following criteria: unintentional weight loss, weakness, low physical activity, exhaustion and Slowness. To observe any possible associations, we performed the Pearson chi-square test, the Student t test and multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression, adopting a significance level of 5%. Results: It was observed that there were no associations of frailty with the social support variables, except for housekeeping mode (p = 0.046) of the MMRI. For the sociodemographic, economic, physical health and social support data, only age (p <0.001), sedentary lifestyle (p = 0.002) and poor perceived health (p = 0.001) were the ones that remained in the logistic regression model, with strong association for the presence of frailty. Conclusion: Among the variables related to social support, only to help with housekeeping was significantly associated with frailty. However, more studies need to be developed to characterize the social vulnerability, as well as health services need to recognize the importance of social support as an integral part of care for the elderly / Introdu??o: A fragilidade em idosos ? resultado de uma complexa intera??o entre diversos fatores cl?nicos e sociais envolvidos na sua g?nese. Embora haja um entendimento sobre sua associa??o ao maior risco de ocorr?ncia de desfechos cl?nicos adversos, ainda n?o se sabe se essa s?ndrome pode ser agravada devido ? aus?ncia do apoio social. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a associa??o entre o apoio social e a s?ndrome da fragilidade em idosos residentes na comunidade. Materiais e m?todos: Estudo observacional anal?tico de car?ter transversal, com uma amostra de 300 idosos residentes do munic?pio de Natal-RN. Foram coletadas informa??es sobre os dados sociodemogr?ficos, econ?micos e sa?de f?sica. O apoio social foi avaliado por meio do status de coabita??o; situa??o conjugal; ?ndices de freq??ncia e diversidade de contatos; ?ndices de freq??ncia de ajudas recebidas e prestadas; e Mapa M?nimo de Rela??es do Idoso. A fragilidade foi avaliada mediante os seguintes crit?rios: perda de peso n?o intencional, fraqueza, baixo n?vel de atividade f?sica, exaust?o e lentid?o. Para se observarem as poss?veis associa??es existentes, foram realizados o teste qui-quadrado de Pearson, test t de student e an?lise multivariada por regress?o log?stica bin?ria, adotando-se um n?vel de signific?ncia de 5%. Resultados: Observou-se que n?o foram observadas associa??es da fragilidade com as vari?veis do apoio social, com exce??o da modalidade tarefas dom?sticas (p=0,046) do MMRI. Referente aos dados sociodemogr?ficos, econ?micos, de sa?de f?sica e apoio social, apenas a idade (p<0,001), sedentarismo (p=0,002) e sa?de percebida insatisfat?ria (p=0,001) foram as que permaneceram no modelo de regress?o log?stica, com forte associa??o para a presen?a de fragilidade. Conclus?o: Dentre as vari?veis relacionadas com o apoio social, apenas a ajuda nas tarefas dom?sticas esteve associada significativamente ? fragilidade. No entanto, mais estudos precisam ser desenvolvidos para caracteriza??o da vulnerabilidade social, como tamb?m servi?os de sa?de necessitam reconhecer a import?ncia do apoio social como parte integrante da presta??o de cuidados aos idosos
