A standard procedure for creating a frailty index
BACKGROUND 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. METHODS This is a secondary analysis of the Yale Precipitating Events Project cohort study, based in New Haven CT. Non-disabled peopl...
متن کاملA Standard Measuring Procedure for Software Engineering
Extended Abstract This paper describes a standard measuring procedure for software engineering. It is an account of our experience in trying to obtain software engineering experiments that are repeatable and comparable. Measures in software engineering often lack a solid measurement theory basis. Even more, there is the need for a basic standard procedure to extract meanings from these measures...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Rat Clinical Frailty Index
Rats are a commonly used model for aging studies, and a frailty assessment tool for rats would be of considerable value. There has been a recent focus on the development of preclinical models of frailty in mice. A mouse clinical frailty index (FI) was developed based on clinical frailty assessment tools. This FI measures the accumulation of clinically evident health-related deficits in mice. Th...
متن کاملA Clinical Frailty Index in Aging Mice: Comparisons With Frailty Index Data in Humans
We previously quantified frailty in aged mice with frailty index (FI) that used specialized equipment to measure health parameters. Here we developed a simplified, noninvasive method to quantify frailty through clinical assessment of C57BL/6J mice (5-28 months) and compared the relationship between FI scores and age in mice and humans. FIs calculated with the original performance-based eight-it...
متن کاملPre-frailty and frailty of elderly residents in a municipality with a low Human Development Index
OBJECTIVE to identify the prevalence of the factors associated with pre-frailty and frailty of elderly residents in a municipality with a low Human Development Index METHOD Cross-sectional study with a populational and household framework conducted with 316 elderly people. Frailty was determined from the presence of three or more of the following factors: (i) self-reported unintentional weigh...
