“…Similarly, another study conducted in Italy found a lower SPPB mean score than the one calculated in our study population; nevertheless, this study was performed in hospitalized patients 49 . Additionally, a previous study carried out in Peru in the rural communities of Atipayán (3345 masl) and Santa (6 masl), showed a prevalence of poor physical performance of 10.0% and 19.4%, respectively, both lower figures to that found in this study 15 .…”

“…The protective effect of physical activity against the development of some type of dementia or neurocognitive disorder has been previously described in multiple studies 70– 72 . In rural populations at sea level and in altitude, the prevalence of cognitive disorders is low; this could be attributed to different lifestyles, such as the constant physical activity they have performed throughout their lives 15 .…”

“…The timed results of each subtest are rescaled according to predefined cut points for obtaining a score ranging from 0 (worst performance) to 12 (best performance) 40 . The variable was categorized as: poor physical performance (0-6) and medium/good physical performance (7-12) 12, 15 .…”

“…Physical performance in the older adult has been extensively studied, and poor nutritional status 8 , sarcopenia 9 , decreased muscle mass, frailty 10 , sarcopenic obesity 11 , mortality 12 , disability 13 and dementia 14 , common chronic diseases of aging, have been associated. A previous study conducted in rural Peruvian communities located at 3345 and 6 masl found that the prevalence of poor physical performance in older adults living in rural communities at sea level was twice as high as that of older adults that are residing in rural areas at high altitude 15 .…”

Background: Physical performance in the older adult has been extensively studied. However, only a few studies have evaluated physical performance among older adults of high Andean populations and none have studied the factors associated with it. The objective of this study was to evaluate factors associated with poor physical performance by using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) in older adults living in 11 Peruvian high Andean communities. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out in inhabitants aged 60 or over from 11 high-altitude Andean communities of Peru during 2013-2017. Participants were categorized in two groups according to their SPPB score: poor physical performance (0-6 points) and medium/good physical performance (7-12 points). Additionally, we collected socio-demographic, medical, functional and cognitive assessment information. Poisson regression models were constructed to identify factors associated with poor physical performance. Prevalence ratio (PR) with 95% confidence intervals (95 CI%) are presented. Results: A total of 407 older adults were studied. The average age was 73.0 ± 6.9 years (range: 60-94 years) and 181 (44.5%) participants had poor physical performance (0-6 points). In the adjusted Poisson regression analysis, the factors associated with poor physical performance were: female gender (PR=1.29; 95%CI: 1.03-1.61), lack of social support (PR=2.10; 95%CI: 1.17-3.76), number of drugs used (PR=1.09; 95%CI: 1.01-1.17), urinary incontinence (PR=1.45; 95%CI: 1.16-1.82), exhaustion (PR=1.35; 95%CI: 1.03-1.75) and cognitive impairment (PR=1.89; 95%CI: 1.40-2.55). Conclusions: Almost half of the population evaluated had poor physical performance based on the SPPB. Factors that would increase the possibility of suffering from poor physical performance were: female gender, lack of social support, number of drugs used, urinary incontinence, exhaustion and cognitive impairment. Future studies with a larger sample and longitudinal follow-up are needed to design beneficial interventions for the high Andean population.

“…Cabe destacar que la principal actividad económica en la población rural estudiada es la agropecuaria y ganadera, explicando la mayor CVRS en la dimensión física y de habilidades sensoriales. Este resultado es consistente con otros estudios que demuestran que los adultos mayores que realizan altos niveles de actividad física diaria tienen un menor deterioro del sistema pulmonar, cardiovascular y musculoesquelético (32) , mejorando su rendimiento físico y su capacidad laboral.…”

Objective: Our objective was to evaluate the association between depressive symptoms and disability in older adults residing in 12 high Andean communities in Peru. Material and Methods:We carried out a secondary data analysis of a crosssectional study that included older adults (60 years or older) from 12 high Andean communities in Peru from 2013 to 2019. Depressive symptoms were defined as a score of two or more in the abbreviated Geriatric Depression Scale, while disability was defined as a score of less than 95 in the Barthel index. We also included sociodemographic characteristics, medical and personal history, and functional and performance-based tests. We used crude and adjusted Poisson regression models to evaluate the association of interest and estimated prevalence ratios (PR) with their respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results:We included 442 older adults with a mean age of 73 � 6.9 in the analysis; 63.1% (n = 279) were women, and 79.9% (n = 353) had no education or incomplete primary school. 50.9% (n = 225) of the participants had depressive symptoms, and 49.8% (n = 220) had disability. The adjusted Poisson regression model showed that depressive symptoms increased the probability of disability (adjusted PR = 1.67; 95% CI: 1.34-2.08; p < 0.001) in older adults living at high altitude.Conclusions: Depressive symptoms was associated with a greater probability of disability in older adults living at high altitude. Longitudinal studies are needed for better understanding of this association in high altitude populations along with timely interventions to reduce the impact of both geriatric syndromes.
