Abstract

This descriptive transversal research studies frailty situation in older adults and basic and instrumental activities of daily living relationship through a 194 old institucionalized people sample.
Frailty is measured with the Short Physical Performance Battery; basic activities of daily living with Barthel Index and instrumental activities of daily living with Lawton and Brody scale. Descriptive results show how the arithmetical averages in both activities of daily living decrease as the continuum robust-prefrail-frail-dependent advances towards dependency. There are significant differences in all subscales of Short Physical Performance Battery, as well as in Barthel and Lawton and Brody (p smaller than ,001). Regarding to Barthel and SPPB groups, significant differences among all of them were found (,007 greater than p greater than ,001), except in the robust-prefrail relation, where differences are not meaningful. Concerning Lawton and Brody, differences are significant (,041 greater than p greater than ,001); except in fragil-prefrail relation.
The differences found between groups allow an early diagnosis and interventions aimed to prevent or reverse the progress towards a dependency situation.
