Published: June 2020

The relevance of the subject matter is conditioned upon the fact that nowadays, both tax law theory and the current tax legislation fail to provide a single, unified definition of the concept of ‘subject of tax relations’. Furthermore, there is no clear criteria for the division of subjects of tax relations into types, which makes it impossible to establish the exact scope of participants in tax relations, and to determine the level of their tax legal personality. The purpose of this paper is to determine the scope of participants in tax relations, to analyze and clarify the legal status of established subjects and determine the functions that they perform in tax legal relations, as well as, on the basis of the results obtained, to construct a detailed classification of subjects of tax relations. The key method of scientific research is the method of scientific modelling, because in this article, on the basis of the analysis of existing scientific positions and provisions of legislation, the authors build their own theoretical model of the subject matter, formulate a conceptual apparatus and offer their practical application. This paper examines the subjects of tax relations, examines their types, outlines the limits of their legal personality in tax relations. The analysis of national legislation and various scientific approaches provides for the classification of subjects of tax relations, the legal status and the role they play in the tax mechanism are determined. The paper develops proposals for practical content to improve the provisions of the Tax Code of Ukraine on subjects of tax relations, provides author's definitions of the concept of ‘subjects of tax relations’. The provisions, conclusions, proposals and recommendations formulated in this paper can be used in: lawmaking – to improve and adopt new regulations, to amend existing legislation, to adapt them to the best European and international models; the law enforcement – to improve tax relations with the participation of public authorities; scientific research – for further study of financial and legal issues of participation of public authorities in budget relations; educational process – when teaching the subjects ‘Financial Law’, ‘Tax Law’, ‘Administrative Law’, ‘Topical Problems of Financial Law of Ukraine’ and related training courses.

The research is devoted to the detailed analysis of the mechanism of legal tax regulation. The study has found that the mechanism of legal tax regulation is primarily related to the legal regulation of tax debt to ensure its proper execution. Full and timely payment of taxes or fees is meant by proper execution.

The implementation of tax debt is defined both in the Basic Law of the state, where the emphasis is placed on the imperative requirement for timely payment of taxes and fees in full, and in the Tax code of Ukraine, which establishes the definition of tax debt as the taxpayer's obligation to calculate, declare and / or pay the amount of tax and fee in the manner and terms determined by the Tax code of Ukraine, customs laws.

The analysis of the legislation and the scientific literature has revealed that the most important issue on taxes and fees payment regulation is the establishment of the moment from which the obligation for tax payment arises. Having rights and obligations for a person is another important factor if he becomes a participant in tax relations. The mechanism of legal tax regulation is a set of elements, which are defined in the Tax Code of Ukraine and in accordance with it are divided into basic, additional and optional. The mechanism of legal tax regulation is possible only as a set of basic and additional elements. The absence of at least one of the elements will not allow to legislate a separate tax or levy. The study provides a comprehensive analysis of each element of the tax mechanism.

Published: June 2020

The research analyzes the need to recognize and enshrine in legislation the general principles of prevention from and control over industrial hazardous events. The finding of the most effective integrated interstate approach to the solution of environmental safety and compliance matters remains an urgent challenge. The global environmental disaster may be avoided only if all members of the global community implement unified approaches and standards, regardless of the level of their economic development. The preservation of the latter takes on particular significance on a global scale and depends on the level and quality of development and implementation of political, economic and organizational mechanisms of the European environmental integration in the country. In general, the authors’ team deepens and develops the methodology of the functional approach to the study of legal phenomena.

Practical application of the research results is possible provided to the availability of a mechanism for action coordination, incident response, prompt information exchange in the event of an emergency and state responsibility.

In the study, the authors substantiated the need to develop uniform requirements to the industrial facility inspection system aimed at reducing harm, improving the use of natural resources with the greatest environmental protection at minimum cost is justified.

Authors: VOLYNETS Vitalii V. , SICHEVLIUK Volodymyr A. , KAMINSKA Ilona V.
Published: June 2020

At the present stage of its development, the general theory of law is aimed at achieving, as far as possible, a greater degree of practical use. Legal theorists seek to answer questions that are devoid of scholastic nature and derive from the practice of real legal relations. The performance of this task involves the movement of fundamental science, which is the general theory of state and law, on the path of ascending from the array of abstract reflections of legal reality, already formed by it, to obtaining its more specific theoretical reproductions. The purpose of this study is to present the correlation of categories such as ‘legal person’ and ‘legal personality’. The relevance of the study lies in the inability to gain new knowledge without the dialectical application of the framework of categories and concepts and methodology of the theory of law to the study of special (e.g., branch) and single (implemented at the individual level) legal phenomena in their relation to the general regularities of the functioning of the state and law. The research presents the content, correlation and meaning of these categories in the theory of law, and demonstrates their diversified use in Ukrainian legislation. The content of the category ‘subject of law’ covers those persons to whom the rights, duties and responsibilities, which are enshrined in the rules of objective law, are addressed. The category of ‘legal personality’ emphasizes the key role of objective law in constituting legal personality.

Published: June 2020

Under conditions of the market relations’ development, the growth of social standards, the legislature’s active work, the level of regulation of social relations has increased. In spite of the high level of regulation of the outlined aspects, the participants of civil relations do not always follow the normative rules. Such deviant behavior is caused by various factors. The purpose of this scholarly article is to study the issues of avoidance the norms of law as a manifestation of deviant behavior of participants in civil relations, as well as to develop proposals to prevent its further manifestation. This study has focused on the delinquent type of deviant behavior in social relations. It has been concluded that the deviant behavior of civil relations participants, which is aimed at avoidance the legislative regulation, can be divided into two types: behavior that contains indirect violations of regulations and behavior that does not contain formal violations of regulations. For a better understanding of the causes and factors that cause the phenomena under study, such concepts as ‘legal conscience’ and ‘legal culture’ have been analyzed.

Authors: ZAKHARTSEV Sergey I. , SALNIKOV Viktor P.
Published: June 2020

The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that it is often a question of diversification of possible restrictions that become the basis of antagonism between the scientific progress and the desire of human beings to preserve themselves. Therefore, such fragments are often unpredictable, since the question of the admissibility of conducting research on humans has always been part of the general social and philosophical system that determines the development of society. The novelty of the study is that for the first time in the legal and philosophical literature the question of the conformity of what is called biological and medical ethics is raised in accordance with the national culture and national identity. The authors of the article clearly identify the inseparability of the connection between the cultural and statistical approach to the expediency of regulating biomedical experiments and their legal regulation. The structure of international legislation and its regional adaptation in Russian legislation are revealed. The practical significance of the study is determined by the possibility of forming a stable position regarding the possibilities of expanding the subject of legal regulation of biomedical ethics. Results: ‎The authors of the article determine that this is necessary for the complete improvement of the processes of socio-economic development, structural coordination of efforts aimed at achieving certain parameters and formation of a general picture regarding the holistic development of the ethical complex of a human being.
Service Functions of Tax Regulation for the Purposes of State Development in the Globalized Environment
Authors: ZEYNALOVA Zivar Z.
Published: June 2020

The tax regulation is an important element of creation and distribution of the qualitative budgeting of a city or a state. Tax regulation allows evenly distributing the existing resources and thus ensuring the gradual development of a state. The task of legal regulation is to ensure the equal distribution of the tax burden and the formation of the integral perception on the part of the population of the suggested regulatory measures. The search of the equilibrium and the formation of the system of legal regulation based on the analysis of the best practices of the European states forms the relevance of the study. The novelty of the study is defined by the fact that to a greater extent, the formation of the model of sufficient tax regulation is possible if it is a targeted indicator of the social and economic development of the state. The authors of the paper except for analyzing the taxation systems of the majority of the EU states also define the way necessary for the implementation of the legislation elements in the states of the post-Soviet territory. According to the authors, it will allow to a greater extent define how the tax incomes should be distributed. The practical significance of the study is defined by the fact that at the implementation of the paper’s conclusions one may precisely define that different distribution of the funds will allow to a greater extent feasibly reforming the tax legislation in the developing countries.

The development of social relations requires changes in various spheres of human activity and, accordingly, in the relations between the state and society, between the state and the individual. In addition, one of the effective regulators of these relations is a treaty, which can be used in various spheres. To date, the science has not developed a unified view of the contract, and its issues are discussed by representatives of various scientific fields, with the contract being studied as a legal fact, agreement, legal relationship, document and in this regard is defined differently. Moreover, contractual relationship is in constant flux and suffer from changes caused by various factors of legal validity. Therefore, treaty law and the rules governing contractual obligations are given a great deal of attention during improving the process of reforming civil law and ensuring its further effective implementation in the CIS. Within the framework of the conducted research and comparative analysis of the legal bases and practice of application in the sphere of treaty law, the author has formulated grounded positions on the outlined and topical issues, which are as follows: (1) the peculiarities of the use of terminology in the context of the problem of interpretation of contract terms are revealed; (2) identified problems that arise during the termination of treaties in the CIS; (3) the influence of innovative technologies and globalization and the nature of contractual relations in the territory of the CIS countries are established; (4) approaches to ‘smart-contracts’ and a public contract are disclosed; (5) the discussion approaches to understanding the concept of ‘freedom of contract’ are analyzed; 6) a conditional list of the most pressing issues of contract law that arises in the CIS are formed.

The lunge exercise is considered a bilateral and multi-joint exercise; in this way, each lower limb presents different force distributions in different techniques and body positions. The purpose of this study was to measure the vertical force distribution between lower limbs in different lunge exercises. Thirty-two young, resistance-trained (male=27, 27±6 years, 174.6±9.6 cm, 79.1±14.2 kg; female=7, 24±4 years, 165.2±2.6 cm, 67.1±13.5 kg) performed 3 different lunge techniques on the floor [traditional (TL), partial (PL), and long (LL)] and two on the step [Rear-Foot-Elevated Lunge (RFEL) and RFEL at 50% (RFEL50)] in two static positions (upper and lower) in a randomized, counterbalanced fashion. For the assessment of the vertical force, two portable force plates were positioned under the anterior and posterior lower limb for all lunge techniques. Factorial ANOVA was used to test differences between exercises (TL, PL, LL, RFEL, and RFEL50), limbs and moments. An alpha of 5% was used. In conclusion, lunge techniques as the TL, PL, and LL presented differences in force between legs and positions, however similarities between techniques, and might be applied for different sports under unilateral conditions. Lunges with step (RFEL or RFEL50) presented high asymmetry between lower limbs and emphasis on the anterior leg.

Frobenius cowreaths and Morita contexts
Authors: Bulacu Daniel , Torrecillas Blas
Published: June 2020

We prove a uniqueness type theorem for (weak, total) integrals on a Frobenius cowreath in a monoidal category. When the cowreath is, moreover, pre-Galois, we construct a Morita context relating the subalgebra of coinvariants and a certain wreath algebra. Then we see that the strictness of the Morita context is related to the Galois property of the cowreath and the existence of a weak total integral on it. We apply our results to quasi-Hopf algebras.
What Determines Fiscal Deficits in Europe? The Impact and Interaction of EMU Membership, Fiscal Rules, Fiscal Councils and Creative Accounting
Authors: Maltritz Dominik , Wüste Sebastian
Published: June 2020

We search for drivers of fiscal deficits in Europe using a data panel containing annual data of 27 EU countries in the years 1991–2012. Our special focus is on the influence of fiscal rules as well as on fiscal councils, i. e. institutions that may help to reduce deficits and enforce fiscal rules by advising governments. We distinguish between internal fiscal rules and external rules that result from EMU membership. In addition, we consider the impact of “creative accounting”, i. e. measures that help to circumvent fiscal rules, which we approximate by so called stock-flow-adjustments. We especially analyze the interactive influence of the mentioned variables on the budget balance.
Identification of Microwave Radiation Effect on Copper Welded Joint with Brass as Filler Material Using Response Surface Methodology
Authors: Dwivedi Shashi Prakash , Sharma Satyendra , Sharma Satpal
Published: June 2020

In this study, copper plates were welded using the microwave technique, and brass material was used as an interface. The response surface methodology was used to optimize the microwave parameters for maximum joint strength, which resulted in a value of 264 MPa in 350 s. The welding temperature was maintained at 1,100°C for maximum joint strength using a single microwave oscillator with a rated power of 890 W. A Hardness test was carried out, and the tested parameter was 79 BHN, which is a better result compared with traditional welding. The corrosion behavior of the copper welded joint was also observed to be an effect of brass when used as an interfacial material between the copper plates. Weight loss of the heat-affected zone in salt solution (5 % NaCl + 95 % water) after 96 hours was found to be zero. This result indicates that brass as a filler material also enhances the corrosion resistance of the welded joint.
Comparison of Distal Transradial Access in Anatomic Snuffbox Versus Transradial Access for Coronary Angiography
Authors: Lu Hongjiang , Wu Danning , Chen Xiang
Published: June 2020

Background: To compare distal transradial access (dTRA) in the anatomic snuffbox and conventional transradial access (cTRA) for coronary angiography.
Methods: Eighty cases that underwent coronary angiography were selected at The 903 Hospital of PLA in China from April 2017 to March 2018. Patients in the dTRA group underwent distal transradial access, and patients in the cTRA group received conventional transradial access. Puncture success rate, fluoroscopy time, and hemostasis time were determined.
Results: The puncture success ratio was 85% in the dTRA group and 100% in the cTRA group (P < .05). The fluoroscopy time was 36 minutes and 19 min minutes in the dTRA group and cTRA group (P < .05), respectively. The compression hemostasis time after operation was 120 minutes and 240 minutes in the dTRA group and cTRA group (P < .05), respectively. The complication rate in the cTRA group was 7.5%, while there was no complication in the dTRA group. In addition, there also was no significant difference between the two groups in the rate of complications (cTRA = 7.5%, dTRA = 0.0%, P > .05).
Conclusion: Distal transradial access in the anatomical snuffbox for coronary angiogram is a potential alternative to conventional radial arterial access.

Authors: Marcuzzo Leandro Luiz , Kotkoski Bruna
Published: June 2020

RESUMO A cultura da cebola tem se intensificado devido ao consumo in natura e também pelo processamento industrial. No entanto, a queima das pontas (Botrytis squamosa Walker) é a principal doença na fase de muda e tem comprometido a cultura. Como desconhece-se a epidemiologia da doença no Brasil, o objetivo do trabalho foi caracterizar o progresso temporal e espacial desta doença nas condições de cultivo na região Sul do Brasil. Três gramas de sementes de cebola da cultivar EMPASC 352- Bola precoce foram semeadas em oito blocos de um metro quadrado cada. A incidência inicial da doença no canteiro de plantio foi utilizada para a análise espacial através do teste de binomial negativa. A severidade da doença no decorrer do cultivo foi analisada através da porcentagem de área foliar afetada pela doença em dez plantas ao acaso previamente demarcadas em cada repetição e os dados da severidade foram ajustados a um modelo não linear ao longo do ciclo da cultura. Constatou-se que o padrão espacial da doença foi ao acaso e a curva de progresso da doença foi ajustada ao modelo de Gompertz, representada por y=0,51830*(exp(5,95660*exp(-0,47392*x))). Esse estudo servirá de modelo para trabalhos relacionados à doença.

O resultado da eletroforese em gel de agarose mostrou-se positivo para os viróides Citrus exocortis viroid (CEVd); Citrus bent leaf viroid (CBLVd); Hop stunt viroid (HSVd) e Citrus dwarfing viroid (CDVd), sendo o último encontrado em todas as propriedades e na combinação com outros viróides, o HSVd e o CBLVd estavam presentes em duas propriedades e o CEVd isoladamente em apenas uma propriedade. Não foi detectada a presença do Citrus viroid IV (CVd-IV) nas amostras avaliadas. Foram observadas diferenças na expressão dos sintomas associados ao CEVd o que pode ter ocorrido devido a interferências entre as espécies de viróides que infectavam uma mesma planta. A transmissão pode ter sido mecanicamente através da poda das plantas cítricas ou através de mudas infectadas com viróide. A utilização de métodos moleculares mostrou-se eficiente na identificação da presença de viróides em plantas cítricas no Estado do Rio de Janeiro.

Abstract Dental caries is one of the most prevalent diseases in developing countries. However, there is limited data on the prevalence and factors associated with dental caries in Ugandan adolescents. The purpose of the present study was to describe the prevalence, severity of dental caries and to determine the factors associated with the disease among school adolescents in Uganda. A cross sectional study was conducted at two secondary schools from Kampala (n=197) and Mukono (n=209) districts, Uganda. At both schools, random sampling was used to select the participating classes and the 406 adolescents (11-19 years) eligible to participate in the research. Dental caries was examined using the Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index, and a questionnaire was used to collect other relevant data in form of an oral interview. The data were analyzed using STATA version 12. The data was declared as survey data and all analyses were done with svy command. The prevalence of caries was determined as a percentage of individuals with DMFT score ≥1. Modified Poisson regression models were utilized to assess the association between prevalence, severity of dental caries and independent variables. The overall prevalence of dental caries was 66.0% and mean DMFT score of 2.18±2.67. Dental caries prevalence and severity were significantly (p<0.05) associated with tooth cleaning device, age and history of previous dental visit. There was a high prevalence and severity of dental caries among adolescents, which emphasizes the urgent need to develop and design appropriate interventions to reduce the disease burden.

Abstract The aim was to evaluate, in vitro, the influence of pH cycling on microtensile bond strength (µTBS) and percentage of nanoleakage (%NL) in the dentin-adhesive interface. Flat dentin surfaces were obtained in 56 extracted third molars. The teeth were randomly divided into four groups (n=14): G1- Single Bond Universal (etch-and-rinse mode); G2- Single Bond Universal (self-etch mode); G3- Scotchbond Multi-Purpose; G4- Clearfil SE Bond. A block of composite was built on the adhesive area. Eight tooth/resin sets were cut parallel to the tooth’s long axis to obtain 48 beams (0.8 mm2) for each group. Half of the beams were submitted to four cycles of pH cycling (demineralizing solution for 6 h and remineralizing solution for 18 h). The samples were submitted to µTBS test in a universal testing machine. Six tooth/resin sets were cut parallel to the tooth’s long axis to obtain three slices of the central region (1.0 mm thickness). Half of the slices were submitted to pH cycling. The nanoleakage methodology was applied to obtain the %NL at the adhesive interfaces. According to two-way ANOVA, the interaction between factors (adhesive system x storage) was significant (p=0.0001) for µTBS and %NL. After pH cycling, there was a significant decrease in µTBS and a significant increase in %NL for all adhesives. The adhesives applied in the self-etch mode obtained lower %NL, differing significantly from the etch-and-rinse adhesives. It was concluded that the pH cycling negatively influenced the µTBS and %NL for all adhesives evaluated. However, self-etch adhesives allowed less %NL.

Abstract Although periodontitis is one of the commonest infectious inflammatory diseases in humans, the mechanisms involved with its immunopathology remain ill understood. Numerous molecules may induce inflammation and lead to bone resorption, secondary to activation of monocytes into osteoclasts. TACE (TNF-α converting enzyme) and DC-STAMP (dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein) appear to play a role on bone resorption since TACE induces the release of sRANKL (soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-β ligand) whereas DC-STAMP is a key factor in osteoclast induction. The present study evaluated the levels of TACE and DC-STAMP in patients with and without periodontitis. Twenty individuals were selected: 10 periodontally healthy participants undergoing gingivectomy for esthetic reasons and 10 diagnosed with periodontitis. Protein levels of such molecules in gingival tissue were established using Western blotting. Protein levels of both TACE and DC-STAMP were higher in the periodontitis group than in the control group (p<0.05; Student t-test). In conclusion, TACE and DC-STAMP protein levels are elevated in patients with periodontitis, favoring progression of bone resorption.

Abstract. Owing to advancement of medical technology and current knowledge, the population has a longer life expectancy, leading to an increase in the proportion of elderly. Objective: The study aimed to investigate the effect of action observation (AO) combined with gait training on gait and cognition in elderly with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods: Thirty-three participants were randomly allocated to action observation with gait training (AOGT), gait training (GT), and control (CT) groups. The AOGT and GT groups received a program of observation and gait training protocol with the same total duration of 65 min for 12 sessions. For the observation, the AGOT group watched a video of normal gait movement, while the GT group watched an abstract picture and the CT group received no training program. All participants were assessed for gait parameters during single- and dual-tasks using an electronic gait mat system and were assessed for cognitive level using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) at baseline, after training and at 1-month follow-up. Results: The results showed that the AOGT group had significant improvements in gait speeds during single- and dual-tasks, as well as better MoCA score, while the GT group had significant improvement only in gait speed. Conclusion: The adjunct treatment of AO with gait training provides greater benefits for both gait and cognitive performances in elderly with MCI.
Mini-Cog versus Codex (cognitive disorders examination) Is there a difference?
Authors: Larner Andrew J.
Published: June 2020

Abstract. Mini-Cog and Codex (cognitive disorders examination) are brief cognitive screening tests incorporating word-recall and clock drawing tests. Objective: To assess and compare the screening accuracy of Mini-Cog and Codex for diagnosis of dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients attending a dedicated cognitive disorders clinic. Methods: Tests were administered to a consecutive cohort of 162 patients, whose reference standard diagnoses based on clinical diagnostic criteria were dementia (44), MCI (26), and subjective memory complaint (92). Results: Both Mini-Cog and Codex had high sensitivity (>0.8) for dementia diagnosis, but Codex was more specific. For diagnosis of MCI, Mini-Cog had better sensitivity than Codex. Weighted comparisons of Mini-Cog and Codex showed only marginal net benefit for Mini-Cog for dementia diagnosis but larger net benefit for MCI diagnosis. Conclusion: In this pragmatic study both Mini-Cog and Codex were accurate brief screening tests for dementia but Mini-Cog was better for identification of MCI.

ABSTRACT. The MoCA is a brief useful test to diagnose mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia (MD). To date, no Argentine cross-cultural adapted validations of the Spanish version have been reported. Objective: To validate the MoCA in the elderly and study its usefulness in MCI and MD. Methods: This study included 399 individuals over 60 years old evaluated in the Cognitive-Behavioral Department (2017-2018). Patients with<3 years of education, sensory disturbances, psychiatric disorders, or moderate-severe dementia were excluded. The control group comprised cognitively normal subjects. Participants were classified according to neuropsychological assessment and clinical standard criteria into Control, MCI or MD groups. A locally adapted MoCA (MOCA-A) was administered to the patients and controls. Results: Mean educational level was 10.34 years (SD 3.5 years). MoCA-A score differed significantly among groups (p<0.0001). MoCA-A performance correlated with educational level (r: 0.406 p<0.00001). Adopting a cut-off score ≥25 (YI=0.55), the sensitivity for MCI was 84.8% and for MD 100%, with specificity of 69.7%. When adding a single point to the score in patients with ≤12 years of education, the specificity of the test reached 81%. Conclusion: The MoCA-A is an accurate reliable screening test for MCI and MD in Argentina.

ABSTRACT. Given the aging of the world population, it is essential to investigate which methods are most effective for treating the diseases that manifest with age. This study addresses Parkinson’s disease (PD), for which Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has been increasingly used to treat the disease. Objective: To investigate Executive Functions (EF) in patients with and without DBS. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA) criteria. Scientific papers published on the Scopus, Web of Science and PsycInfo databases were selected. Results: 13 articles were selected. Results showed no standardization of instruments used to evaluate EF and that, in most studies, lack of a control group may have affected results. Conclusion: Decline in EF was observed in terms of verbal fluency and processing speed in patients with DBS.

Abstract Objective: To compare clinical-functional factors among groups in relation to the frailty syndrome (pre-frail and frail) phenotype profile in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM 2). Methods: A descriptive, analytical, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach was performed. A total of 113 diabetic older adults of both sexes were evaluated in terms of their personal, socio-demographic, clinical-functional, mental, cognitive and fragility phenotype data. The Chi-square test and a logistic regression model were used. Results: The mean age was 68.66±6.62 years, and the sample was mostly female (61.9%), illiterate or with an incomplete primary education (60.2%), pre-frail (52.2%), sedentary (79.6%), and had been diagnosed with DM2 for more than 5 years (58.3%). There was a significant association between “pre-frail and frail” individuals and schooling (p=0.004), social participation (p=0.004), a subjective perception of vision (p=0.004), glycated hemoglobin (p=0.036), limb pain (p=0.012), depressive symptoms (p=0.002) and mobility (p=0.004). The logistic regression model showed an accuracy of 93.6% and the significant variables were education (p=0.039), pain in the lower limbs (p=0.025) and risk of falls (p=0.033). Conclusion: among all the factors related to the “pre-frail” and “frail” phenotype, schooling, pain in the lower limbs and mobility were most related to the worsening of the syndrome and its progress.
