The search, done with institutionalized elderly people, aimed to analyse possible relations among frailty (FR) and cognitive decline (CD) and quality of life perception (QOL). In order to measure the aspects, the following instruments were used: Edmontom Frail Scale (EFS), Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSE), and WHOQOL-bref. It was observed that there were no correlations among the factors: CD, FR. However, there was a mistaken perception of QOL, its average was considered good.
Keywords: Quality of life; Frail; Cognition; Institutionalization.
