Unstable disability and the fluctuations of frailty.
Despite increasing use in the literature of old age, 'frailty' remains an ill-defined term. The components of frailty have not been sufficiently defined to be used to identify a research population or a group requiring a public health intervention. It is currently too indefinite a state to be used to identify particular needs in an individual, indeed being 'too frail' may be used to justify inv...
متن کاملAbility of Self-Reported Frailty Components to Predict Incident Disability, Falls, and All-Cause Mortality: Results From a Population-Based Study of Older British Men
BACKGROUND Frailty is a state of increased vulnerability to disability, falls, and mortality. The Fried frailty phenotype includes assessments of grip strength and gait speed, which are complex or require objective measurements and are challenging in routine primary care practice. In this study, we aimed to develop a simple assessment tool based on self-reported information on the 5 Fried frail...
متن کاملAging, disability and frailty.
Despite multiple and often overlapping definitions of disability and frailty, both are common clinical characteristics of aged individuals though not identical. The geriatric syndrome of frailty is described as status of global impairment of physiological reserves involving multiple organ systems. The clinical correlate of frailty manifests as increased vulnerability, impaired capability to wit...
متن کاملThe SHARE frailty instrument for primary care predicts incident disability in a European population-based sample.
BACKGROUND The adoption of a frailty paradigm in primary care would be helpful to identify adults who need priority access to specialised resources. The frailty phenotype by Fried et al is a popular operationalisation of frailty, but it is not easily applicable in routine primary care practice. We recently created and validated a frailty instrument based on the Survey of Health, Ageing and Reti...
متن کاملFrailty Index and Incident Mortality, Hospitalization, and Institutionalization in Alzheimer's Disease: Data From the ICTUS Study.
BACKGROUND The identification of an objective evaluation of frailty capable of predicting adverse outcomes in Alzheimer's disease is increasingly discussed. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the Frailty Index (FI) predicts hospitalization, institutionalization, and mortality in Alzheimer's disease patients. METHODS A prospective multicenter cohort study (follow-up = 2 years...
