Introdução: com o envelhecimento da população, a utilização dos serviços de saúde, a multimorbidade e a deterioração funcional cresceram notavelmente. Esta última variável é fundamental para a escolha do melhor nível de cuidado para cada paciente.


Objetivo: descrever a prevalência e os fatores associados à dependência funcional em pacientes do ambulatório de geriatria do Hospital Universitário San Ignacio de Bogotá (Colômbia).


Metodologia: foi realizado um estudo transversal com 1.521 pacientes avaliados no ambulatório de geriatria do Hospital Universitário San Ignacio entre 2016 e 2020.


Resultados: foi documentado algum grau de dependência em 77,45% da população. Na análise bivariada, as variáveis ​​associadas à dependência foram: idade superior a 80 anos (OR 2,37 (IC 95% 1,81-3,1)), ser mulher (OR 2,03 (IC 95% 1,57-2,61)), multimorbidade (OR 1,51 ( 1,17-1,94)), polifarmácia (OR 1,56 (1,21-2,01)), risco nutricional (OR 2,52 (1,944-3,28)), diminuição da circunferência da panturrilha (OR 1,64 (1,20-2,26)), diminuição da velocidade da marcha (OR 5,03 (3,59) ) -7,03)), demência (OR 4,64 (3,53-6,12)) e baixa força de preensão (OR 3,19 (2,10-4,85)). Na análise multivariada, multimorbidade (OR 1,57 (1,02-2,40)), risco nutricional (1,56 (1,12 - 2,19)), ter demência (3,07 (2,09-4,50)) e baixa força de preensão (2,82 (1,70-4,67)) tiveram associação estatisticamente significativa com dependência funcional.


Conclusão: a dependência funcional é altamente prevalente em nossa população, a presença de diversas síndromes geriátricas está associada a esse desfecho. A detecção e intervenção precoces destes riscos são fundamentais para prevenir a dependência.
