Abstract

Objective: to verify the clinical-functional frailty condition and its relationship with the
sociodemographic characteristics and with the presence of sarcopenia in aged individuals. Method:
a cross-sectional study, developed with 356 aged individuals in Primary Health Care. The data were
collected between September 2018 and March 2019, through a sociodemographic data form and
the Clinical-Functional Vulnerability Index. Pearson’s Chi-square test was used for the analysis of the
associations between the categorical variables, with a 0.05 significance level. Results: there were
positive correlations between sarcopenia and the following variables: weight loss (p=0.000), Body
Mass Index <22 (p=0.026), calf circumference <31 (p=0.007), gait speed >five seconds (p=0.018),
marital status (p=0.003), schooling level (p=0.004), aged group (p=0.001), and frailty conditions
(p=0.000). Conclusion: this study contributes to nurses’ knowledge about the real needs of older
adults seeking Primary Care.
