Frail: ≥3 criteria present; Intermediate or pre-frail: 1 or 2 criteria present. Robust or non-frail: 0 criteria present. Gait Speed (as a single measure) 23, 24. Measured gait speed over 4 meters. Gait speed <0.8 m/s is cut point for increased risk of adverse health outcomes. Gait speed <0.2 m/s is cut point for extreme frailty.
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 .
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.
Frailty was associated with being African American, having lower education and income, poorer health, and having higher rates of comorbid chronic diseases and disability. There was overlap, but not concordance, in the cooccurrence of frailty, comorbidity, and disability. This frailty phenotype was independently predictive (over 3 years) of ...
Based on frailty criteria developed in CHS, the overall prevalence of frailty in community-dwelling older adults aged 65 or older in the United States ranges 7-12%. In the CHS, prevalence of frailty increased with age from 3.9% in the 65-74 age group to 25% in the 85+ group and was greater in women than men (8% vs. 5%) ( 2 ).
19 de mar. de 2014 · Frailty phenotype. The phenotypic definition of frailty as a geriatric syndrome was proposed by Fried et al and tested in the CHS, a large-cohort study of over 5,300 community-dwelling older men and women in the US. 5, 13 Frailty is operationalized as a syndrome meeting three or more of five phenotypic criteria: weakness as measured by low grip strength, slowness by slowed walking speed, low ...
14 de jun. de 2018 · Frailty was strongly associated with multi-morbidity; however, the associated mortality risk persisted after controlling for the number of long-term conditions. Our adapted definition identified 16 538 frail individuals (3%) of 493 737 study participants, and over 185 000 (38%) who met the criteria for pre-frailty.
