Aging is a dynamic and progressive process, whose individual presents progressive loss of their capacities and development of pathological processes increasing vulnerability and predisposing it to morbidity and mortality. Thus, the elderly person is 80 years old or older due to biological aging, making it more fragile and this factor was the research target of this research. The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence of fragility and pre-frailty in association with sarcopenia syndrome measured by the scale of SARC-F in long-lived elderly patients treated in an outpatient setting, in the Federal District. The method used was a cross-sectional and quantitative, observational study with 71 elderly men and women, followed at the Geriatrics outpatient clinic of the Cardiology Institute of the Federal District, Taguatinga unit as part of the multicenter project National Program for Academic Cooperation (PROCAD). Data were collected between March and October 2016, by screening in the outpatient registry. Instruments used: a questionnaire on sociodemographic data, anthropometric measures, instruments for the evaluation of sarcopenia and fragility, and the application of the tests to investigate the fragility with the phenotype of five criteria suggested by Fried et al. For statistical analysis, an electronic database was built in the Excel?? program and the data analyzed in the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 22.0. In the descriptive analysis, we used descriptive statistics (means, standard deviation and frequencies), the non-parametric Chi-square test for comparison of the qualitative variables and for the quantitative data the t-test was used for independent samples. The results were considered statistically significant when the significance of p-value <0.05. The results and discussion indicated the mean age of 84.73 (?? 3.59 and p = 0.95) years, and in the age range between 80 and 84 years, 62.1% (n = 18) of the elderly were fragile (N = 51 and p = 0,79), being 43.1% (n = 25), white (71.8%) and 54.3% (n = 25). = 22) fragile, average monthly personal income of up to two minimum wages of 59.4% (n = 41 and p = 0.04) in which 60% (n = 18) scored for fragile and comprised 40.8% ( (N = 29 and p = 0.37), and 48.8% (n = 20) were fragile, with regard to the level of education and primary schooling, 45.1% (n = 32 and p = 0.27), 60 % (N = 18) scored for fragile. In the anthropometric calculations, the mean weight was 64 (?? 12.6) kg, mean height 1.56m (?? 0.80) and BMI 26.2 (?? 4.55). The total number of pre-frail elderly (p = 0.04) was 57.7% (n = 41) and fragile was 42.3% (n = 30) and 25.4% (n = 18) Longevity are sarcopenic, and 83.3% (n = 15) of these were fragile. It was concluded that there is a positive association between the fragility syndrome and the sarcopenia syndrome measured through the scale of F-SARS and that long-lived women are more vulnerable to the fragility syndrome. These results will support and help the multiprofessional team to identify fragility in the elderly in the long term through preventive research in actions that aim to minimize its effects and promote a better quality of life and a healthy aging.
