| Sumario: | Objective: To analyze the relationship between cognitive performance and frailty in communitydwellingelderly.Method: Cross-sectional, observational and quantitative study conducted in August-December2016, with 126 elderly registered in a Family Health Unit of João Pessoa, state of Paraíba. MiniMental State Examination (MMSE) was used for cognitive assessment and the EdmontonFrailty Scale was used for the assessment for frailty. Descriptive and inferential analysis wereperformed, and Pearson’s chi-square test of independence, Nonparametric Spearman andKendall tests and Cramér’s V Coefficient and Odds Ratio (OR) tests were applied.Results: The cognitive performance assessment revealed that 24 (19%) elderly had cognitiveimpairment and 50 (39.6%) were frail. Elderly people with cognitive impairment were 2.56(95% CI: 0.55-0.96) more likely to be frail.Conclusion: There was a statistically significant relationship between cognitive performanceand frailty among community-dwelling elderly, demonstrating that older people with cognitiveimpairment are more likely to be frail. |
