Measuring frailty in clinical practice: a comparison of physical frailty assessment methods in a geriatric out-patient clinic
BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to determine: 1) the prevalence of frailty using Fried's phenotype method and the Short Performance Physical Battery (SPPB), 2) agreement between frailty assessment methods, 3) the feasibility of assessing frailty using Fried's phenotype method and the SPPB. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted at a geriatric out-patient clinic in Hamil...
متن کاملIdentifying frailty: do the Frailty Index and Groningen Frailty Indicator cover different clinical perspectives? a cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND Early identification of frailty is important for proactive primary care. Currently, however, there is no consensus on which measure to use. Therefore, we examined whether a Frailty Index (FI), based on ICPC-coded primary care data, and the Groningen Frailty Indicator (GFI) questionnaire identify the same older people as frail. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional, observational s...
متن کاملA Summary of the Biological Basis of Frailty.
Frailty has been defined as a geriatric syndrome that is characterized by a reduction in the physiological reserve required for an individual to respond to endogenous and exogenous stressors. Using a discrete definition of frailty that includes sedentariness, involuntary weight loss, fatigue, poor muscle strength, and slow gait speed, 'frailty' has been associated with increased disability, pos...
متن کاملFrailty and its quantitative clinical evaluation.
Frailty is a progressive physiological decline in multiple organ systems marked by loss of function, loss of physiological reserve and increased vulnerability to disease and death. Frail older adults are vulnerable to poor health outcomes including an increased risk of disability, social isolation and institutionalisation. With the advances in understanding of the physiological underpinnings an...
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...
