Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The association between anemia and frailty seems to be well described in cross-sectional studies and different biologically plausible hypotheses have been proposed to relate the two health problems, including low-grade chronic inflammation, hypoxia or sarcopenia, although longitudinal studies are needed to analyze this. possible causality. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to analyze whether the existence of anemia increases long-term mortality as a serious adverse event associated with frailty and disability in the elderly. METHODOLOGY: we listed the number of deaths from each type of anemia to have a relationship of which one is more harmful and dangerous for the elderly, what they cause and how to treat them. Graphs were used and Excel tables to carry out data collection between the number of deaths and the type of anemia that caused the most deaths among the elderly. The analyzed population comprised individuals of both sexes, aged ≥60 years, living in the state of Goiás.RESULTS: Participants who died were older, had a higher rate of institutionalization, had a worse functional status, had more comorbidity and polypharmacy, as well as lower levels of Hb, higher plasma glucose and total leukocyte values than those that remained alive after 10 years of follow-up. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS Anemias, aplastic anemias and nutritional animals in the elderly are related to a higher risk of mortality and, in the same way, both frailty as well as disability alone are predictors of mortality. Anemia increases the risk of long-term mortality associated with frailty and disability in the elderly, acting as a modulating factor in this association. The results of the present study suggest that the identification of anemia, its study and its correction in high-risk elderly people may be a prognostic element to be considered in current interventions to reverse frailty, due to its relationship with survival.
