SUMMARY:

Introduction: Coronavirus-19 disease (COVID-19) affects any person in any age group, however, studies show that the elderly and people with comorbidities constitute the highest risk segments for the development of severe forms of the disease. Objective: to evaluate the effect of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the health conditions and functional capacity of institutionalized elderly people after 6 months of infection. Methods: Prospective cohort carried out with 288 institutionalized elderly of both sexes. The elderly were evaluated for clinical conditions (diagnosis of chronic diseases and biochemical tests), functional capacity and nutritional status based on anthropometric variables (weight, height, BMI, calf and arm circumference). All assessments were repeated at two times, maintaining an interval of 6 months between them. Results: 97 elderly had a positive result for COVID and males had a higher risk of developing the disease. There was also an increase in the frequency of elderly people with functional dependence after COVID-19. The group of elderly people with the disease maintained a higher median systolic blood pressure, a higher percentage of weight loss and lower concentrations of hemoglobin and lymphocytes after diagnosis of the disease. Creatinine and AST had a higher median after the disease. Previous diabetes diagnosis and leukocyte concentrations at disease onset were associated with mortality and need for hospitalization. Conclusion: The effects of COVID-19 in institutionalized elderly go beyond acute complications and compromise blood pressure control, functional capacity, favor weight loss, lymphopenia and alter concentrations of liver function enzymes after the disease.
