We sought to examine the frailty association with depression and functional disability in hospitalized older adults. In particular, we compared non-frail, pre-frail, and frail elderly hospitalized individuals. We performed a cross-sectional study with 255 hospitalized Brazilian elderly patients. We used a structured instrument to assess socio-economic data, the Fried frailty phenotype and used morbidity scales (Geriatric Depression; Katz; Lawton and Brody). The adjusted analysis revealed that frail elderly exhibit increased odds ratios (OR) for depressive symptoms (OR = 2.72, 95% CI: 1.12-6.62), disability related to basic activities (OR = 3.50, 95% CI: 1.26-9.60), and instrumental daily living (OR = 2.70, 95% CI: 1.12-6.44). Frailty in hospitalized older adults is associated with depressive symptomatology and functional disability.
