Abstract
El aumento de la población de adultos mayores y su mayor demanda de atención en salud en el Ecuador, requiere de una valoración geriátrica integral que permita evaluar las esferas clínica, funcional, mental y social; de esta forma conocer el estado de salud actual que presentan las 75 personas adultas mayores que asisten a Espacios de Socialización y Encuentro de la Parroquia San Isidro durante el periodo octubre 2023 – febrero 2024. La presente investigación es de tipo descriptiva, con enfoque cuantitativo, transversal, de campo y no experimental, donde se aplicaron diversos test. La Ficha clínica KICA muestra que el 54% de la población es adulta mayor joven, siendo el 61% mujeres; la escala de la Cruz Roja donde se observa que el 65% pueden realizar actividades de la vida diaria pero presentan dificultad al deambular; en la SARCO-GS el 36% de la población la presenta sarcopenia; la KICA-COG refleja que el 97% no presenta demencia; dentro de la escala de Yesavage el 68% no presenta depresión; y en la escala de Gijón, manifiesta que el 96% de la población se encuentra en riesgo social.
