Abstract

Objective: to compare evolution of the functional capability of elderly people by living arrangements (alone, with other people and change of the
living arrangement), controlling for other variables. Material and method: this was a population-based cohort study that occurred between 2005
and 2012 with 623 community-dwelling elderly people. A descriptive statistical analysis and mixed models were performed (p <0.05). Results: in
the graphic of trends, it was observed a functional decline in all groups. The elderly who lived alone showed higher scores of functional capability
along the study. Nevertheless, it did not reach significance in the comparison among the groups. In analysis of mixed models, it was observed that
the explicative variables of the functional decline were higher age (estimate=0,067; p<0,001) as well as the number of morbidities (estimate=0,357;
p<0,001). Conclusion: the results suggest that the alterations of the organism and the gradual increase of morbidities impact on the functional
decline of community-dwelling elderly over the years, regardless of the living arrangement.
