RESUMO:

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (DA) is the most common among the elderly and represents 60% of the dementias diagnosed. Many investigations were conducted on the cognitive sequelae of DA, but few concentrated on the extent to which deficiencies in cognitive abilities are reflected in difficulties in performing daily activities. Objective: To verify the factors related to impairment of functional capacity and its influences in relation to socio-demographic, clinical, staging, mobility, postural and cognitive balance of elderly with Alzheimer's disease (DA). Methods: This is an observational, analytical, cross-sectional study conducted in Natal-/rn. Participants were 40 elderly individuals aged 60 years or older with Alzheimer's disease in the mild (CDR1) or moderate (CDR2) phase, with independent ambulation. The instruments were utilized: questionnaire for the evaluation of sociodemographic and anthropometric data; Mini Mental Health Examination; Clock drawing test (TDR);  Verbal fluency Test (TFV) Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and Clinical test of Sensory Organization and Balance (CTSIB). Simple descriptive analyses, Man Witney test, Spearman correlation test, linear regression model and prediction equation (p < 0.05 and CI of 95%) were performed. Results: The median age of the sample was 80 years; The majority of women (77.5%), the functional capacity had a median of 22.5 and the majority presented postural imbalance (62.5%), according to the ctsib, eight linear regression models were generated and the latter was chosen for the analysis, by the method " and elaborate the prediction equation and possible interpretations. The variables assumed in this model were: CDR, verbal fluency and ctsib.
