“…In the current study, the level of hemoglobin and ferritin decreased with age, and in particular in the nursing home residents caused by several reasons, including reduced erythropoietin secretion, reduced hematopoietic reserve, decreased intake of iron and vitamins, and the chronic illnesses that occur with chronic inflammatory diseases (30). The results of the current study were consistent with those of other studies (3,4,9,13,15,29,31,33).…”

“…underlying illness that can affect cardiovascular function, physical activity, mobility and movement, risk of falling, hospitalization, disability, and mortality. In addition, it increases the risk of frailty syndrom, depression, delirium, and cognitive impairment, and affects the quality of life in the elderly (11,(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). In other words, the probability of hospitalization in older patients with anemia living in nursing homes is twice more than that of their peers without this complication (6).…”

Background: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA), as one of the most common problems of the elderly, is preventable and treatable. Objectives: The current study aimed at determining the prevalence of IDA and its related factors in older females and comparing it between community-dwelling individuals and nursing home residents in the Southwest of Iran. Methods: The current cross sectional study was conducted on 365 community-dwelling and nursing home residents in Bushehr Province, Iran. Data were collected in 2017. Blood samples were taken from all participants to measure hemoglobin and ferritin levels. Hemoglobin values less than 12 g/dL were considered as diagnostic criteria for anemia. Simple logistic regression was used to compare normal subjects with the ones with anemia, and after adjusting the marital status and age, the odds ratio (OR) was obtained. Furthermore, independent variables affecting them and ORs and their associated confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained, which were significant. Data were analyzed using SPSS software and the significant level was less than 0.05. Results: The mean ± SD age of participants was 82.00 ± 5.79 years, and the means of hemoglobin and ferritin levels were 12.6 ± 1.04 g/dL and 15.00 ± 5.11 µg/dL, respectively. Based on the hemoglobin rate, 30% of the elderly females had anemia, and the prevalence of IDA in the elderly living in the community and nursing homes was 27% and 39%, respectively. Conclusions: The prevalence of IDA in elderly females was high in Southwest of Bushehr. The crude and adapted ORs indicated that living in the nursing home was a risk factor for anemia. Therefore, this ailment requires a national screening, diagnosis, and early intervention.

“…A longitudinal study with three years of follow-up assessment evaluated functional capacity in anemic elderly persons using the Barthel and Lawton Indexes and the Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA). The authors found a higher mortality rate and worse perception of quality of life and functional capacity in anemic elderly persons 19 .…”

“…The concepts and criteria of the frailty syndrome diverged between the studies. Of the seven articles included, three used standardized criteria for the definition of frailty [15][16][17] while four studies evaluated functional capacity as a synonym for frailty syndrome [18][19][20][21] .…”

“…This fact is explained by the variety and non-standardization of the criteria and instruments used to define frailty and may limit the interpretation of the association between anemia and this syndrome (Chart 4). Another important issue is the fact that many authors consider functional capacity and frailty to be synonyms, even though both can occur in isolation [18][19][20][21] . The study conducted by Corona et al 15 evaluated the association between anemia, hemoglobin and the frailty syndrome.…”

Objective: To evaluate the association between anemia and the onset of the frailty syndrome amongst the elderly living in the community. Method: A systematic literature review of articles from the MEDLINE and LILACS databases published in English, Spanish and Portuguese over the last ten years was carried out. Articles were included in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Results: The search identified 193 studies. After deleting duplicated articles and applying the exclusion criteria only seven articles remained. Three articles used standardized criteria to define frailty, whereas four evaluated functional capacity as a synonym for the frailty syndrome. Conclusion: Anemia was related to a worsening of functional capacity and to the presence of the frailty syndrome in elderly persons living in the community. However, the risk of bias in the studies was high in relation to the selection of the criteria and instruments used to assess and define frailty.
