RESUMO:

Alzheimer's Dementia (AD) is the most common among the elderly and represents 60% of diagnosed dementias. Many investigations have been conducted on the cognitive sequelae of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but few have focused on the extent to which deficits in cognitive abilities translate into difficulties in performing daily activities. Objective: To verify the association between the functional capacity, evaluated by Pfeffer and the socio-demographic, clinical, clinical-functional, MMII, body balance and cognitive variables of the elderly with probable diagnosis of Alzheimer's dementia. Methodology: This is an observational, analytical, cross-sectional study conducted in Natal-RN. A total of 40 elderly people aged> 60 years diagnosed with Alzheimer's Dementia in the Light (CDR1) or moderate (CDR2) stage, with independent ambulation and who agreed to sign the Free and Informed Consent Term (ICF) were enrolled. Socio-demographic, clinical, clinical-functional, postural balance, functional and cognitive abilities were evaluated. Descriptive statistics, the Man Witney test to verify the associations, and the Spearman Correlation test (p <0.05 and 95% CI) were performed. Results: The sample consisted of 40 elderly patients with a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's dementia, mostly female (77.5%), low weight or eutrophic (59.0%), 80 years old or older (55.0%) and mild or moderate cognitive impairment (75%). CDR, cognitive deficit, cancer, clock design, verbal fluency, and conditions 3 and 4 of the sensory interaction test had an effect on the functional capacity of elderly individuals with Alzheimer's disease. The bivariate analysis showed that the quantitative variable Functional Capacity correlated significantly with the following quantitative variables: MMSE (p <0.001), clock design (p = 0.025), verbal fluency (p <0.001), CTSIB-M Condition 3 p = 0.006), TUGT (Conventional) (p = 0.013), Cognitive TUGT (seconds) (p <0.001), Sit and stand up from the chair (p = 0.022).
