Previous issue date: 2016-12-06 / The increase in life expectancy and low fertility in recent years favors the
exponential growth of the elderly population, mainly of elderly people. The
maintenance of functional capacity is essential for maintaining good performance in
the activities of daily living and for the quality of life of these elderly people.
Functional ability may be influenced by some factors such as falls, fear of falling and
physical conditions of the individual. For this reason, the objective of this study was
to verify the functional capacity and its relationship with falls, fear of falling and
physical performance of oldest old who were aged at an outpatient clinic attended at
a health unit in the Federal District. It is a cross-sectional, exploratory and analytical
study. For the descriptive analysis of the sample, mean, standard deviation and
frequency were performed. Non-parametric tests such as Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-
Wallis, Chi-square and Pearson's correlation were applied. For the parametric tests,
the student's t-test was used for independent samples. The sample consisted of 50
elderly with aged 80 years or older. Of the elderly evaluated, 64% had partial
dependence on the instrumental activities and 82% were independent for the basic
activities of daily living. Functional capacity was not related to the history of fall nor to
the fear of falling and the physical performance of the elderly people who were longlived.
However, it was found that walking speed is related to the instrumental
activities of daily living. 54% of the elderly had moderate physical performance.
There was a prevalence of 1 fall in the 12-month period, with the majority stumbling
as the main reason, and most of the falls occurred within the elderly's residence. / O aumento da expectativa de vida e a baixa fecundidade nos ??ltimos anos, favorece
o crescimento exponencial da popula????o idosa, principalmente de idosos longevos. A
manuten????o da capacidade funcional ?? essencial para manuten????o do bom
desempenho na execu????o das atividades de vida di??ria e para boa qualidade de
vida desses idosos. A capacidade funcional pode ser influenciada por alguns fatores
como, quedas, medo de cair e condi????es f??sicas do indiv??duo. Por essa raz??o, o
objetivo desse estudo, foi verificar a capacidade funcional e sua rela????o com
quedas, medo de cair e desempenho f??sico de idosos longevos de perfil
ambulatorial, atendidos em uma unidade de sa??de do Distrito Federal. Trata-se de
um estudo transversal, explorat??rio e anal??tico. Para an??lise descritiva da amostra foi
feita m??dia, desvio padr??o e frequ??ncia. Foram aplicados testes n??o param??tricos
como Mann-Whitney, Kruskal- Wallis, Qui-quadrado e Correla????o de Pearson. Para
os testes param??tricos foi aplicado o teste t de student para amostras
independentes. A amostra foi composta por 50 idosos com idade igual ou superior a
80 anos. Dos idosos avaliados, 64% apresentaram depend??ncia parcial para as
atividades instrumentais e 82% eram independentes para as atividades b??sicas de
vida di??ria. A capacidade funcional n??o apresentou rela????o com o hist??rico de queda
nem com o medo de cair e o desempenho f??sico dos idosos longevos. Contudo
encontrou-se que a velocidade de marcha apresenta rela????o com as atividades
instrumentais de vida di??ria. 54% idosos longevos apresentaram desempenho f??sico
moderado. Encontrou-se preval??ncia de 1 queda, no per??odo de 12 meses, tendo a
maioria trope??o como principal motivo, e a maioria das quedas ocorreu dentro da
resid??ncia do idoso.
