Abstract
Frailty syndrome is a dynamic process due to its reversibility. Transition in frailty status was common among elderly. This cross-sectional study aimed to compare the frailty status and its transition after 1 year follow up among community-dwelling elderly residents in PPR Kuala Lumpur. A total of 113 out of 301 respondents were listed out by using purposive sampling and managed to be reached before Movement Control Order (MCO) due to the pandemic COVID-19. Only 87 out of 113 were selected to participate in this study after screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Respondent’s anthropometry which were height, weight, body mass index (BMI), skeletal muscle mass, percentage body fat, waist circumference, calf circumference, mid-upper arm circumference were measured. Face-to-face interview was done between the researcher and the respondent which based on 8 components in the questionnaire which were socio-demographic characteristics, presence of chronic disease, psychological status (depression), functional status (functional ability, cognitive status), risk of malnutrition, frailty syndrome and physical activity. Majority of respondents were Malay (76.0%), married (56.0%), primary school (lower form)(42.0%), staying with husband/wife and children (38.0%), not working/housewife (57.0%), financial source from children (32.0%), household income below than RM2500. Their mean age was 68.3 ± 5.7 years old. The most 3 prevalent chronic disease were hypertension (56.3%), diabetes mellitus (50.6%) and high cholesterol (44.8%). Most of them were normal in functional ability (57.0%), normal cognitive status (91.0%), normal depression (86.0%), normal risk of malnutrition (69.0%), overweight (42.5%), too high in percentage body fat (male 78.9%; female; 92.6%), low in skeletal mass (male 100%; female 95.6%), normal in MUAC (male 94.7%; female 98.5%), normal in CC (male 89.5%; female 93.5%), high WC (male 89.5%; female 93.5%). Weakness was the most prevalent Fried Phenotypic Criteria (88.5%). Most of them are pre-frail (79.3%), followed by frail (18.4%) and robust (2.3%). There was a significant different in the presence of cardiovascular disease (p=0.005), chronic respiratory disease (p=0.002), diabetes mellitus (p<0.001), hypertension (p=<0.001), weakness (p=0.004), slowness (p=0.003), depression (p<0.001), skeletal muscle mass (p<0.001), calf circumference (p=0.007) and frailty status (p=0.005) among respondents between 2019 and 2020. Most of them were remained in frailty status (65.5%), followed by worsening (21.8%) and improving 12.6%. In conclusion, a future studies need to be done to determine factors associated with worsening and improving in frailty status.
