ABSTRACT
Objective: to evaluate the association between forced expiratory volume ratio in the first second and forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) with Frailty Syndrome (FS) in the elderly. Method: cross-sectional, population-based, quantitative approach. For the analysis, multivariate logistic regression was performed. Results: 162 elderly patients, with FS prevalence of 13.6% and mean age of 70.7 years (± 6.9) were studied. There was no association between FEV1/FVC and FS (OR = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.94-1.02, p = 0.352), nor a percentage of predicted FEV1/FVC and FS values (OR = 0.98; 95% CI: 0.95-1.01, p = 0.342), regardless of age group and self-perceived health. Conclusion: the FEV1/FVC ratio is not able to predict Frailty Syndrome in community-dwelling elderly.Descriptors: Frail Elderly; Respiratory Function Tests; Spirometry.
RESUMO
Objetivo: avaliar a associação entre a relação volume expiratório forçado no primeiro segundo e capacidade vital forçada (VEF1/CVF) com a Síndrome da Fragilidade (SF) em idosos. Método: estudo analítico, transversal, de base populacional, com abordagem quantitativa. Para as análises, foi realizada regressão logística multivariada. Resultados: foram estudados 162 idosos, com prevalência da SF de 13,6% e média de idade de 70,7 anos (±6,9). Não houve associação VEF1/CVF e SF (OR = 0,98; IC95%: 0,94-1,02; p = 0,352) e nem percentual do valor predito da VEF1/CVF e SF (OR = 0,98; IC95%: 0,95-1,01; p = 0,342), independentemente do grupo etário e autopercepção de saúde. Conclusão: a relação VEF1/CVF não é capaz de predizer a Síndrome da Fragilidade em idosos residentes em comunidade. Descritores: Idoso Fragilizado; Testes De Função Respiratória; Espirometria.
RESUMENObjetivo: evaluar la asociación entre la relación volumen espiratorio forzado en el primero segundo y capacidad vital forzada (FEV1 / FVC) con el Síndrome de Fragilidad (SF) en los ancianos. Método: Estudio analítico, transversal, basado en la población con un enfoque cuantitativo. Para los análisis, se realizó regresión logística multivariante. Resultados: se estudiaron 162 ancianos, con una prevalencia de SF 13,6% y una edad media de 70,7 años (± 6,9). No hubo asociación FEV1 / FVC y SF (OR = 0,98; IC de 95%: 0,94 a la 1,02; p = 0,352), y ni un porcentaje del valor predicho de FEV1 / FVC y SF (OR = 0,98; IC del 95%: 0,95 a 1,01; p = 0,342), independientemente del grupo de edad y autopercepción de salud. Conclusión: La relación VEF1/CVF no es capaz de predecir el Síndrome de Fragilidad en los ancianos que viven en comunidad. Descriptores: Anciano Frágil; Pruebas de Función Respiratória; Espirometria.
