Abstract

Introduction: Various factors may affect the functional balance of older adults. This studyaimed to investigate the factors associated with functional balance in older adults living in acommunity.Materials and Method: In total, 160 people ≥65 years of age were included in the study.The Cumulative Illness Rating Scale was used for scoring comorbidities. Functional balancewas evaluated with the Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale. The Hospital Anxiety andDepression Scale was used for assessing emotional state. Finally, cognitive status was evaluatedwith the Mini-Mental State Examination. The factors associated with functional balance weredetermined using multivariate logistic regression analysis in patients with lower balanceconfidence.Results: The mean age was 71.3±5.8 years. The group of participants with lower balanceconfidence (Activities-specific Balance Confidence score ≤67) had increased age, height, lowerextremity pain, sleeplessness, falling frequency, hypertension, ischaemic heart disease andanaemia ratios, number of drugs used, female ratio and single living ratio; higher CumulativeIllness Rating Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale scores and significantly lower(p

Özet

Giriş: Yaşlılarda fonksiyonel dengeyi etkileyebilecek çok sayıda faktör mevcuttur. Bu çalışmanın amacı toplumdaki yaşlılarda fonksiyonel denge ile ilişkili faktörlerin araştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya dahil edilme kriterlerine uyan 65 yaş ve üzeri olan 160 kişi alındı. Komorbiditelerin değerlendirilmesinde Kümülatif Hastalık Değerlendirme Skalası kullanıldı. Fonksiyonel denge, Aktivitelere-özgü Denge Güven Skalası ile değerlendirildi. Emosyonel durumun değerlendirilmesinde Hastane Anksiyete ve Depresyon Ölçeği kullanıldı. Kognitif durum ise Mini Mental Durum Değerlendirmesi ile değerlendirildi. Denge güveni düşük, düşme riski yüksek olan hastalarda çok değişkenli lojistik regresyon analizi ile fonksiyonel denge ile ilişkili bileşenler belirlendi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların ortalama yaşı 71.3±5.8 yıl idi. Denge güveni düşük olan (ABC skoru≤67) grupta yaş, boy, alt ekstremite ağrısı, uykusuzluk, düşme sıklığı, hipertansiyon, iskemik kalp hastalığı ve anemi oranları, kullanılan ilaç sayısı, bayan cinsiyet, tek başına yaşama oranları daha fazla idi; Kümülatif Hastalık Değerlendirme Skalası, Hastane Anksiyete ve Depresyon Ölçeği skorları anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti, Mini Mental Durum Değerlendirmesi skoru ise anlamlı olarak daha düşüktü (p˂0.05). Çok değişkenli indirgenmiş modelde fonksiyonel denge üzerinde yaş, boy, medeni durum, ilaç sayısı, ek hastalık sayısı, anksiyete düzeyinin anlamlı (p˂0.05) etkinliği gözlenmiştir. Sonuç: Yaşlılarda fonksiyonel denge üzerinde birçok faktörün etkili olabileceği klinik pratik yaklaşımda göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Bununla beraber bu çalışmada yaşlılarda denge güveninin belirleyicileri yaş, boy, medeni durum, kullanılan ilaç sayısı, ek hastalık sayısı ve anksiyete düzeyi olarak belirlenmiştir.
