Analizar los cambios ocurridos a lo largo de 24 meses del proceso de envejecimiento sobre la condición física, el miedo a caer y la composición corporal en ancianos institucionalizados. Estudio longitudinal, analítico y prospectivo realizado en 3 residencias para mayores. Se utilizó un cuestionario clínico y sociodemográfico, la batería de pruebas funcionales diseñada por Rikli y Jones, dinamometría para evaluar la fuerza de prensión manual e impedancia bioeléctrica para determinar la composición corporal. El miedo a caerse fue evaluado con la Escala de Eficacia en Caídas. Se incluyeron 51 ancianos (82,5 ± 7,4 años). Tras los 24 meses del seguimiento, el deterioro funcional fue visible (p < 0,05) para las pruebas del Rikli y Jones: sentars...
