RESUMO:

Mobility is the ability to move. Institutionalized elderly people are prone to the development of limitations in mobility; however, more robust studies that search for associated factors are necessary to understand their prevalence.

Aims

To determine the prevalence of mobility limitations in institutionalized elderly people and their associated factors.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was carried out between August 2015 and January 2016 in ten long-stay institutions for the elderly in Brazil. Individuals ≥ 60 years of age were excluded and those hospitalized were excluded, absent from the collection and those who did not reside full time at the institution. Sociodemographic information was collected, related to the institutions and the health conditions of the elderly. Mobility limitations were checked based on information collected from the primary caregiver using the Barthel scale. Statistical analysis was used the Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression at a significance level of 5%.

Results

The sample consisted of 305 elderly, mostly women, with a mean age of 81.5 years (SD: 8.47). The prevalence of mobility limitations was 65.6% (95% CI: 59.6-70.4), and 26.9% of the elderly were wheelchair users. The final model revealed a statistically significant association of these limitations with malnutrition or risk for malnutrition (p <0.001, 1.86: 1.54-2.26) and ages ≥81 years (p = 0.002, 1.35: 1.12 - 1.63).

Conclusions

It is concluded that mobility limitations have a high prevalence in the institutionalized elderly population, being associate
