Objective: to determine the prevalence of multidimensional frailty and the risk of sarcopenia in elderly individuals at the time of hospital admission.
Method: cross-sectional, quantitative, and retrospective study. Data were collected regarding a physical and functional assessment conducted at hospital admission: Clinical-Functional Vulnerability Index-20, Manual Muscle Testing of the Medical Research Council, Short Physical Performance Battery, and SARC-F+CP.
Results: the sample consisted of 1780 medical records of elderly individuals admitted to a public hospital in southern Brazil, divided into two groups: 60-79 years (n=635) and ≥80 years (n=1145), during the period from August 2019 to March 2020. Among older individuals aged 60-79 years: 65.7% (n=417) are frail, 32.9% (n=209) have muscle weakness, 61.7% (n=392) are unable or have very poor physical performance, and 28.5% (n=343) are at risk of sarcopenia. Older individuals aged ≥80 years: 87.2% (n=999) are frail, 45.2% (n=518) have muscle weakness, 83.9% (n=961) have very poor physical performance or are unable, and 71.5% (n=862) are at risk of sarcopenia.
Conclusion: there is a prevalence of multidimensional frailty, peripheral muscle weakness, incapacity in physical performance activities, and risks of sarcopenia among hospitalized older individuals.
