Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of fibromyalgia syndrome in patients aged 80 years and over and to examine the relationship between detailed geriatric assessment parameters and fibromyalgia syndrome.

Conditions

Fibromyalgia; Old Age; Debility

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Presence of fibromyalgia syndrome

  The presence of fibromyalgia will be evaluated using the 2016 American College of Rheumatology diagnostic criteria.

  Baseline

Secondary Outcomes (7)

• Neurocognitive assessment

  Baseline

• Mood assessment

  Baseline

• Daily living activities

  Baseline

• Balance and walking assessment

  Baseline

  Baseline

Study Arms (1)

Elderly Patients

Age 80 and above

Other: Detailed geriatric assessment

Interventions

Detailed geriatric assessment OTHER

The demographic characteristics of the patients, comorbid diseases, history and number of falls in the last 6 months will be questioned, and the thyroid stimulating hormone, calciferol, cobalamin, glycosylated hemoglobin, folic acid and glomerular filtration rate levels routinely requested from each patient in the last 3 months will be recorded. During the outpatient clinic application, the patients will undergo neurocognitive assessment, mood assessment, daily living activities assessment, balance and walking assessment, nutritional assessment and frailty assessment. The patients' handgrip strength from their dominant hand will be assessed with a hand dynamometer. The walking speed of the patients will be measured as the number of seconds it takes to walk 4 meters and recorded in seconds. All patients will be questioned about the presence of body pain with the numerical pain scale score and all patients will be evaluated for the presence of fibromyalgia syndrome.
