COMORBIDITY COGNITIVE FUNCTIONAL AND FRAILTY STATUS: SIMILARITIES OF THEIR LEVELS AND OVERLAPS

摘要

Globally, centenarians living in a nursing home were in a worst health status: 4 fold higher risk of dementia (OR=3.8), 3 to 5 fold worse functional mobility (walk, get out of bed or chair) and 2 fold more weakness assessed by grip strength. Sweden and Denmark had the significantly highest mean MMSE (24 ± 3.7; 23.8 ± 5.1); France and Switzerland the lowest (18.7 ± 6.2; 18.9 ± 8.0) (p<0.001). In all the 5 countries, cerebro-cardiovascular diseases were the most prevalent comorbidities and they were equally prevalent independently from the living place: hypertension (from 28% in France to 55% in Japan), stroke (from 10% in France and Denmark to 19% in Sweden), and myocardial infarction (from 9% in Denmark to 56% in France).Multivariate analysis of the associations between comorbidity, cognitive, functional and frailty status will be presented regarding similarities or differences among countries while taking into account survey participation.
