Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between demographic characteristics and common geriatric syndromes with physical function in elderly patients with chronic kidney disease at the National Geriatrics Hospital. Subject and method: A cross-sectional descriptive study on 101 patients aged ≥ 60 years old treated at the National Geriatrics Hospital. Patients were interviewed according to uniform questionnaire, physical function was assessed by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) test: total SPPB point < 10: Impaired physical function. Result: The mean age in the group with reduced physical function was statistically significant higher than those in the group without physical impairment (p<0.05). Patients aged ≥ 80 increased the risk of impaired physical function by 3.84 times (95% CI: 1.47 - 10.38, p<0.05). The proportion of patients with impaired physical function in patients with depression was statistically higher than those in the group without depression (p<0.05). Depression increased the risk of impaired physical function by 6.99 times (95% CI: 1.91 - 31.9, p<0.05). Conclusion: Advanced age and depression were associated with increased impairment of physical function in the elderly with chronic kidney disease.
