Differentiate the Fragility Syndrome regression between the supervised and unsupervised group and the different levels of schooling, evaluated by the Fragility Phenotype that measures the weight loss in kilograms reported in the last year, the average palmar grip strength in kilograms, the (Kcal / min) = 0.0175 kcal x kg -1x min.-1x MET x body weight (kg), and fatigue due to fatigue sensation in the Activities.
