Abstract(s)
Objetivos: Este estudo teve como principal objetivo avaliar e comparar o estado físico
funcional, cognitivo e nutricional de uma amostra de idosos com demência leve
institucionalizados em dois Lares em Mogadouro, Portugal: Lar São João Batista e Lar
São João de Deus.
Métodos: Estudo transversal, que contemplou uma amostra total de 28 indivíduos (14 em
cada lar) com demência leve com uma idade média de 85,0 ± 2,8 anos de dois lares.
Foram aplicados os seguintes testes: Avaliação da Condição Física Funcional –
Functional Fitness Teste (Rikli & Jones, 1999, 2001), Avaliação do estado cognitivo –
Mini-mental State Examination (Folstein et al, 1975), Avaliação do estado Nutricional –
Mini Nutricional Assessment (Guigoz Y, 2006), Avaliação do estado de Depressão –
Escala de Depressão Geriátrica de Yesavage – versão curta (Yesavage & Sheikh 1986) e
a Avaliação do estado de Alimentação na Demência – The Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation
in Dementia Scale.
Resultados: Nos resultados obtidos, consideraram-se 5 variáveis quantitativas com
diferenças significativas (valores de p < 0,05) nas médias entre dois lares: Idade, Força
Superior, Flexibilidade Superior, Habilitações Literárias, e a Escala de Edinburgh
Feeding. Entre os resultados, evidencia-se que não existem diferenças significativas (p <
0,05) entre os dois lares no estado cognitivo e na escala da independência funcional, no
que diz respeito a avaliação da condição física funcional as variáveis da força inferior,
flexibilidade inferior e superior, velocidade, agilidade e equilíbrio, e a resistência aeróbia
não apresentam diferenças significativas entre lares, enquanto a variável da força superior
apresenta diferenças significativas (p < 0,05) entre lares. Em relação ao estado nutricional
dos idosos que participaram no estudo verificou-se que enquanto que num dos lares não
existe qualquer idoso desnutrido, no outro 14,3% estão em estado de desnutrição.
Conclusões: Os resultados obtidos no presente estudo permitem concluir que os níveis
de capacidade física funcional, desempenhos cognitivos e alimentares podem estar
interligados, mostrando uma correspondência positiva entre eles.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the functional physical, cognitive and nutritional status of a sample of elderly people with slight dementia institutionalized in two nursing homes for the elderly in Mogadouro, Portugal: Lar São João Batista e Lar São João de Deus Methods: Cross-sectional study, which included a total sample of 28 individuals (14 in each nursing homes for the elderly) with slight dementia with a mean age of 85.0 ± 2.8 years. The following tests were applied: Functional Physical Condition Assessment – Functional Fitness Test (Rikli & Jones, 1999, 2001); Cognitive State Assessment – Mini mental State Examination (Folstein et al, 1975); Nutritional Status Assessment – Mini Nutritional Assessment (Guigoz, 2006); Depression Status Assessment –Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale – short version (Yesavage & Sheikh, 1986); and, the Assessment of Feeding Status in Dementia – The Edinburgh Feeding Evaluation in Dementia Scale. Results: In the results obtained, 5 quantitative variables were considered with significant differences in the means between the two nursing homes for the elderly: Age, Superior Strength, Superior Flexibility, Literary Qualifications, and the Edinburg Feeding Scale. The results showed that there are no significant differences (p-value > 0.05) between the two nursing homes in cognitive status and in the functional independence scale. With regard to the assessment of functional physical condition, the variables of inferior strength, superior and inferior flexibility, speed, agility and balance, and aerobic endurance do not present significant differences between the two nursing homes, while the variable of superior strength presents significant differences (p-value <0.05). Regarding the nutritional status of the elderly who participated in the study, it was found that while in one of the nursing homes there was no malnourished elderly, in the other, it was found that 14.3% are in a state of malnutrition. Conclusions: The results obtained in this study allowed to conclude that the levels of functional physical capacity, cognitive and nutritional performance may be interlinked, showing a positive correspondence between them.
