Abstract:
The prevalence of frailty determines the proportion of the population that will experience intercurrent events and dependency. The aim was to assess the prevalence and factors associated with frailty using the modified SEGA grid.
Method:
This was a cross-sectional descriptive study. The primary endpoint was frailty, assessed using the modified SEGA grid.
Results:
The prevalence of frail and very frail people was jointly estimated at 33%. In multivariate analysis, gender, lifestyle and marital status did not appear to be associated with frailty. However, the IAVL score was associated with frailty OR=0.21 (95% CI 0.06 to 0.68; p=0.009). EVS is also associated with frailty for mild pain OR= 12.12 (95% CI 2.49 to 59.08; p=0.007).
Conclusion:
Our results independently show the association between IAVL and frailty, with a one-unit increase in IAVL score being less associated with frailty.

Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
