Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

INTRODUCTION: aging is the natural process of deterioration of the reserves of biological systems, human beings are inherent to this process. The elderly population in Brazil grows very quickly, this is due to the drop in fertility, mortality and increased life expectancy. OBJECTIVE: to promote the planning of guiding and educational actions based on the qualification of the frailty of the elderly in the Basic Health Unit of the study through the use of the Multidimensional Assessment of the Elderly in Primary Care (AMPI/AB) tool. METHODOLOGY: an experimental, longitudinal, prospective and analytical study aimed at approximately 20 pre-frail elderly people residing in a specific area of a Family Health Unit in the city of Guarulhos/SP. A survey of data referring to the application of AMPI/AB carried out in 2021 and classified as pre-fragile will be carried out, in order to later select them for research. The participant will receive educational guidance on nutrition, use of medications and nursing guidance as identified as needs. Three months after the intervention, AMPI/AB will be applied in order to observe whether the pre-frail elderly remained or changed category after the experimental multidisciplinary educational interventions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Experimental, longitudinal, prospective and analytical study aimed at pre-frail elderly people living in a specific area of a Family Health Unit in the city of Guarulhos/SP, developed with the aim of qualifying the health care of the elderly population of the territory of the Basic health Unit in 2021, using the Multidimensional Assessment of the Elderly in Primary Care (MAE/PC questionnaire) as the main data collection instrument, associated with the multidisciplinary educational intervention. Initially, a survey of data referring to MAE/PC carried out in 2021 will be carried out during the routine of care by the authors, in order to identify the elderly who were classified as pre-frail. Data referring to healthy and frail elderly people will be used in the research in a descriptive (quantitative) way. Participants will not be identified, data will be displayed in absolute numbers and frequency.

The educational activities will be carried out through home visits and collection of anthropometric measurements, at which time the Informed Consent Form will be offered to authorize participation in the research. The reference participant and/or caregiver will receive all the necessary information to consciously decide whether or not to participate in the aforementioned research and is free to withdraw at any time, which will not harm any of the parties involved. Participants will also receive educational guidance on nutrition, medication use and nursing guidance as identified as needed.

Three months after the intervention, the MAE/PC questionnaire will be reapplied in order to verify if the participant kept or changed his category after receiving the multidisciplinary recommendations.

Nutritional Educational Guidelines

Obtaining anthropometric measurements (weight, in kilograms, height (in meters), knee height, arm and calf circumference (in centimeters) to trace the participant's nutritional profile and, subsequently, personalized and appropriate nutritional guidelines will be carried out for each situation The calculation of the Body Mass Index (BMI) must be performed by dividing the weight (W) in kilograms (kg) by the square of the height (H) in meters (m) and indicates the individual's nutritional status. The BMI for the elderly (LIPSCHITZ, 1994 apud TAVARES et al., 2015) determines underweight less than or equal to 22kg / m2, adequate or eutrophic weight between 22 and 27kg / m2 and overweight result greater than or equal to 27kg / m2 .
