- The Impact of Frailty on the Relationship between Life-Space Mobility and Quality of Life in Older Adults During the COVID-19 Pandemic(2021) SARAIVA, M. D.; APOLINARIO, D.; AVELINO-SILVA, T. J.; TAVARES, C. De Assis Moura; GATTAS-VERNAGLIA, I. F.; FERNANDES, C. Marques; RABELO, L. M.; YAMAGUTI, S. Tavares Fernandes; KARNAKIS, T.; KALIL-FILHO, R.; JACOB-FILHO, W.; ALIBERTI, Marlon Juliano RomeroBackground The COVID-19 pandemic has led to abrupt restrictions of lile-space mobility. The impact of shelter-in-place orders on older adults' health and well-being is still unclear. Objective To investigate the relationship between life-space mobility and quality of life (QoL) in older adults with and without frailty during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design Multicenter prospective cohort study based on structured telephone interviews. Setting Four geriatric outpatient clinics in the metropolitan area of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Participants 557 community-dwelling adults aged 60 years and older. Measurements The Life-Space Assessment was used to measure community mobility before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a previously validated decrease of >= 5 points defined restricted life-space mobility. Frailty was assessed through the FRAIL (fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illnesses, and loss of weight) scale. The impact of shelter-in-place orders on QoL was evaluated with the question << How is the COVID-19 pandemic affecting your QoL?>>, to which participants could respond << not at all >>, << to some extent >>, or << to a great extent >>. We used ordinal logistic regressions to investigate the relationship between restricted life-space mobility and impact on QoL, adjusting our analyses for demographics, frailty, comorbidities, cognition, functionality, loneliness, depression, and anxiety. We explored whether frailty modified the association between life-space mobility and impact on QoL. Results Participants were on average 80 +/- 8 years old, 65% were women, and 33% were frail. The COVID-19 quarantine led to a restriction of community mobility in 79% of participants and affected the QoL for 77% of participants. We found that restricted life-space mobility was associated with impact on QoL in older adults during the pandemic, although frailty modified the magnitude of the association (P-value for interaction=0.03). Frail participants who experienced restricted life-space mobility had twice the odds of reporting an impact on QoL when compared with non-frail individuals, with respective adjusted odds ratios of 4.20 (95% CI=2.36-7.50) and 2.18 (95% CI=1.33-3.58). Conclusion Older adults experienced substantial decreases in life-space mobility during the COVID-19 pandemic, and this unexpected change impacted their QoL. Providers should be particularly watchful for the consequences of abrupt life-space restrictions on frail individuals.
