In the entire study group, 271 patients (54.2%) had ≥3 positive components and, thus, fulfilled the diagnosis of frailty as defined by Fried frailty criteria.
Frailty is an emerging global health burden, with major implications for clinical practice and public health. The prevalence of frailty is expected to rise alongside rapid growth in the ageing population. The course of frailty is characterised by a decline in functioning across multiple physiological systems, accompanied by an increased vulnerability to stressors.
Objective: we aimed to evaluate the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) criteria for weakness and low muscle mass and the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF) frailty index for prediction of long-term, all-cause mortality. Design: community-based cohort study. Setting: semi-rural community of Merelbeke (Belgium).
Frailty is a common geriatric syndrome that embodies an elevated risk of catastrophic declines in health and function among older adults.Frailty is a condition associated with ageing, and it has been recognized for centuries.It is a marker of a more widespread syndrome of frailty, with associated weakness, slowing, decreased energy, lower activity, and, when severe, unintended weight loss.
1 de mar. de 2001 · Frailty markers present at baseline are shown in Table 3. Overall, 7% of the cohort had ≥3 frailty criteria, and 46% had none. Six percent of the initial cohort and 12% of the African American cohort were frail. Prevalence of frailty increased with each 5-year age group, and was up to twofold higher for women than men by age group .
