| Summary: | Anemia is a condition which often associated with increased morbidity, mortality and
declining functional status in elderly. Many studies tried to examine the relationship between
anemia and functional status in elderly but the results are not yet fully understood. One of the
possible risk factors for decline in functional status in the elderly is anemia. The purpose of this
study is to determine the effect of anemia on functional status decline in elderly treated in
nursing home in Yogyakarta.
This study is a Community-based cross sectional study that analyzed anemia as a risk
factor for functional status decline of Activity Daily Living (ADL) in elderly treated in Nursing
home in Yogyakarta. Functional Status was measured in this study using the FIM scale
(Functional Independence Measurement) and anemia status was assessed using WHO criteria.
Study target population were all elderly population who live in Yogyakarta Province. The
reachable population was elderly population living in nursing home in the province of
Yogyakarta region. Samples were elderly with FIM score � 54 (elderly with functional status in
the moderate category) with laboratory tests to measure hemoglobin (Hb) levels with a
photometric method. The study was conducted in april 2011. Data characteristics of the subjects
were presented in as descriptive results. To assess the influence of anemia as a risk factor for
functional status (ADL), results were tested with Relative Risk (RR). The relationship between
anemia and functional status (ADL) were analyzed using Chi Square tests. Normality of data
distribution was assessed by Kolmogorov Smirnov test. Statistical analysis was conducted with
significance level of p <0.05 with 95% confidence interval.
The result is expected to give the conclusion that elderly with anemia have a greater risk
of decline in functional status (ADL) compared to elderly without anemia. Anemia in the elderly
proved to be a risk factor for decline in functional status. |
