This research aimed to determine the prevalence of cognitive frailty and identify factors associated with cognitive frailty in the elderly population in hospital polyclinic. Methods. A cross-sectional study with secondary data on patients aged ≥60 years in the Internal Medicine Polyclinic of Atma Jaya Hospital, Jakarta, from May 2020 to May 2021. The independent variables of this study were age, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, risk of malnutrition, risk of depression, and functional status. The alternative criteria by Won et al. were used to classify cognitive frailt. Bivariate analysis (chi-square test) and multivariate analysis (logistic regression) were performed using SPSS program. Results. There were 343 subjects with a median age of 66 years, 35% had cardiovascular disease, 5.2% had a high risk of malnutrition, 9.3% had depressive symptoms, 20.4% had a low functional status (ADL-Barthel index), 55.7% were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and 36.4% were diagnosed with dyslipidemia. The prevalence of subjects with cognitive frailty is 1.2% and 98.8% without cognitive frailty. The determinant factor of cognitive frailty is the presence of cardiovascular disease [OR 10.17 (95% CI 0.97-106.54); p=0.05]. Conclusions. Prevalence of cognitive frailty in elderly outpatients is 1.2%. The determinant factor of cognitive frailty is cardiovascular disease.]]>
