Abstract

Descriptive and transversal study that aims to establish the relationship of the situation of frailty in institutionalized older adults and their quality of life in a sample composed of 194 participants. Frailty is measured with the Short Physical Performance Battery tool and quality of life with the GENCAT scale; both with good psychometric properties. The results show that there are significant differences between frailty groups in relation to quality of life, both in their total score and in each of their subscales. In addition, taking the total numerical value of the SPPB scale, a statistically significant correlation appears with the total score in quality of life and with all its subscales; so that as the state of frailty moves toward dependence, quality of life decreases. The results suggest that frailty syndrome, in addition to treatments aimed at alleviating the physical and functional deterioration of the elderly, should also be addressed from the social and emotional spheres.
