Objective: To determine the functional capacity level of elderly individuals attending the Day Hospital at Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen Hospital. Methodology: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 156 elderly individuals over 60 years of age between July and December 2012, using the Barthel index and the Lawton and Brody scale. Results: The majority were female. The age ranged from 61 to 95 years, with a high percentage of individuals aged 80 years or older. The marital status was predominantly married, and the education level was primarily primary. Regarding the Activities of Daily Living (ADL), 50.7% exhibited mild dependence, with a higher prevalence in females. Additionally, 98.1% of the elderly required assistance with eating and moving, 38.5% needed some help with climbing stairs, and 19.9% were independent when taking baths. For the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), 11.5% showed maximum dependence, with females dominating in all levels; 59.6% required help with shopping, and 51.9% needed assistance with meal preparation. 87.8% were able to use the telephone independently. Conclusion: The majority of elderly patients were female and aged 80 or older, with a predominance of married individuals and those with primary education. In terms of ADL, more than half showed some level of dependence (mild, moderate, severe, or total), while for IADL, approximately three-quarters of the respondents were dependent (mild, moderate, severe, or maximum).
