| Abstract | The aim of the study was to identify factors associated with functional disability for basic activities of daily living in older adults. This is a cross-sectional, population-based study with a probabilistic sample, performed in Goiania, Brazil. The older adults were interviewed in their homes. The basic activities of daily living (BADL) were evaluated using the Katz Index. Difficulty in performing at least one BADL was considered to be a functional disability. The independent variables included socioeconomic, demographic, health and lifestyle conditions. The Chi-square or Fisher's tests and multiple logistic regression were used for the analysis (p value <0.05). The factors associated with functional disability Were being aged = 80 years (OR: 2:49, 1:14 to 7:14), widowed (OR: 2.89; 1.25-6.75), history of stroke (OR: 2.85; 1:14 to 7:13), hospitalization (2:07; 1:02 to 4:21), cognitive impairment (OR: 2:07 ; 1:45 to 6:06) and physical inactivity (OR 2.64, 1.03-6.75). The prevalence of disability was 9.7%. Dressing, continence and bathing were the areas most compromised. The identification of factors influencing functional capacity in older adults allows to visualize areas with existing possibilities for prevention and health promotion. The low prevalence of disability for BADL indicates independence, even in conditions of greater vulnerability. |
