ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To find out what the functional capacity of people aged 75 or over is and to adapt the screening questionnaire for further use. DESIGN: Descriptive crossover study. SETTING: Health Centre. PATIENTS AND OTHER PARTICIPANTS: People aged 75 or over registered at the Health Centre (HC). 78 people were chosen by systematic sampling. There were 18 losses. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: A screening questionnaire was administered to make a clinical, functional and social assessment and record problems and performances. The average time taken per questionnaire was 28 minutes (SD 6.9). 76.7% completed it at the HC. There was a notably high percentage of problems detected (21.8%): 209 out of the 960 possible boxes for problems. Over 40% of these problems--with the exception of boxes for economic status and mobility--had previously either not been identified or were not treated. Hearing, sight and teeth were the most frequent complaints (33.3%, 51.6% and 51.6%, respectively) and were unidentified or untreated in 85%, 67.7% and 80.6% of cases. CONCLUSIONS: We consider that the systematic installation of this adapted screening method would be useful.
