Learn about the frailty index, a tool to quantify the level of frailty of an individual based on their health deficits. Find out how it is used, constructed, and validated in various population-based studies worldwide.
18 de dic. de 2021 · This review synthesises how frailty index (FI) scores and labels are used in different care settings and why. It finds variability and inconsistency in FI categorisation and suggests the FI should be reported as a continuous variable.
The frailty index (FI) can be used to measure the health status of older individuals; it serves as a proxy measure of aging and vulnerability to poor outcomes. FI was developed by Dr. Kenneth Rockwood and Dr. Arnold Mitnitski at Dalhousie University in Canada.
12 de ago. de 2021 · Frailty is a multiply determined, age-related state of increased risk for adverse health outcomes. We review how the degree of frailty conditions the development of late-life diseases and...
We defined three categories of frailty status: robust (frailty index ≤0·10), prefrail (frailty index >0·10 to <0·25), and frail (frailty index ≥0·25). The primary outcomes were all-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality in Chinese adults aged 30-79 years.
2 de sept. de 2022 · The objective of this systematic review of population studies was to compare the ability of the frailty index (FI) and frailty phenotype (FP) instruments to predict all-cause mortality in older people.
30 de sept. de 2008 · Frailty can be measured in relation to the accumulation of deficits using a frailty index. A frailty index can be developed from most ageing databases. Our objective is to systematically describe a standard procedure for constructing a frailty index.
