Background. Frailty is a vulnerability state that predisposes to adverse events such as hospitalizations, mortality and dependency, which increases with age as well as cardiovascular disease. Objectives. We aimed to determine frailty state and its relationship with cardiovascular disease in older individuals who attend outpatient consultation at Cayetano Heredia Hospital in Lima, Peru. Materials and methods. A cross-sectional descriptive study obtained from a primary database of adults aged 60 and above who attended in Comprehensive Geriatric. Assessment (CGA) consultants at Cayetano Heredia Hospital from July 2017 to February 2020. Frailty assessment was conducted using the FRAIL scale and/or gait speed. Sociodemographic data, nutritional status (MNA-SF), cognitive level (Pfeiffer), functionality (Barthel), social/familial assessment (Gijón), affective level (GDS4), comorbidities, physical activity, and geriatric syndromes were collected. Statistical analysis was performed using STATA 18. Results. 68.05% (n=345) were women, with a mean age of 74.9 years ± 7.41. Frailty was present in 2.76% (n=14) according to the FRAIL scale and in 9.27% (n=47) based on gait speed. There was a significant association between frailty assessed by both scales and different cardiovascular diseases (p<0.001). Conclusions. Frailty assessed by the FRAIL scale and gait speed is related to cardiovascular diseases.
