An ex post facto analysis of a secondary dataset examined relationships between physical frailty, depression, and the self-perceived domains of health status and quality of life in older adults. The purposive sample included 992 community-dwelling, chronically ill, and functionally impaired adults age 65 and older who received care from a Southern California Kaiser Permanente medical center between 1998 and 2002. Physical frailty represents a level of physiologic vulnerability and functional loss that results in dependence on others for basic, daily living needs (Fried, Tangen, Walston, Newman, Hirsch, Gottdiener et al., 2001). The purpose of the study was to identify possible intervention junctures related to self-efficacy of older adults in order to help optimize their functionality. Multivariate correlation analyses showed statistically significant positive correlations between frailty level and depression (r = .18, p = <.05), number of medical conditions (<r = .09, p = <.05), and self-rated quality of life ( r = .24, p = <.05). Frailty level showed a statistically significant negative correlation with self-perceived health status ( r = -.25, p = <.05). Notably, no statistically significant correlation was found between age and frailty level ( r = -.03, p = <.05). In linear regression, self-perceived health status showed a partial variance with frailty level (part r = -.18, p = <.05). Null hypotheses could not be rejected as each included all four variables. However, the significant correlations found support further research to identify interventions to help vulnerable, older adults challenge perceptions of their own functional capacities so that they may achieve and maintain optimum levels.
