Abstract
Ageing is the main indicator of cognitive impairment and can affect activities of daily living (ADLs), instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) and frailty. The objective of this study was to verify the interference of IADLs, ADLs, frailty status and age on the cognition of community-dwelling elderly people. Were used the follow tools: Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCa); Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS); Lawton scale and Barthel scale. All subjects included were community residents, aged 60 and over, both sexes. To evaluate the effect of age group and frailty status on cognition was used ANCOVA with Bonferroni post-test. Correlations were made using the Pearson test. Values of p <0.05 were accepted as significant. A relationship was observed between all independent variables and cognition (p <0.0001) and was observed an effect of age and frailty on cognition (p <0.001). There is an association between frailty, age, IADL and ADL with the cognition, and were found that the age group and frailty status interfere on cognitive impairment.
