dc.description.abstractINTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES. The family has su'ered several changes throughout the times, leading to many elderly people living alone or with other elderly. In a family the situation of the elderly that depended on others can compromise the family’s relationships, which leads to little availability to motivate them to mobilization. The objective of the study was to understand the way the family functions in view of to the dependence of the elderly with limited mobility in a community context. METHODOLOGY. Descriptive study, exploratory of a quantitive character. The data was gathered through a questionnaire, including the Lawton & Brody (1969) scales, the lifestyle pro+le (Nahas, 2013) and the familiar APGAR (Smilkstein, 1978). Nonprobabilistic sample, composed by 1298 elderly with limited mobility, from 26 civil parishes from the municipality of Vila Nova de Famalicão. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. Most of the people polled considered that his own family was a functional one (64.8%) and 49.6% were moderately dependent. By analysing the physical activity lifestyle pro+le and the familiar functionality one could conclude that 65.2% had a positive pro+le, presenting typical behaviours of an active lifestyle. We think that the fact that 73.1% are inserted in functional families had something to do with it. We have veri+ed a perfect association (p = 0.000) between dependency, lifestyle physical activity and familiar functionality – APGAR. CONCLUSIONS: The results show that the family determines the lifestyle physical activity and the elderly’s dependency. A functional family in<uences a positive physical activity pro+le, even in the elderly with limited mobility.pt_PT
