Prevalence of Frailty in Community‐Dwelling Older Persons: A Systematic Review (2012, background): “In addition to these two operationalizations of frailty, many variations on these definitions can be found in the literature.(10) –12 Most definitions also include a prefrailty state(1,13)—a state in between frail and nonfrail—acknowledging the dimensional aspect.”
The Effectiveness of Exercise Interventions for the Management of Frailty: A Systematic Review (2011, methodology): “More specifically, in the 10 studies [34, 35, 65, 74, 76, 79, 85, 89, 90, 92, 95] that used basic ADL (BADL) scales only half [34, 35, 79, 85, 89, 95] showed positive effects, in the four studies [37, 74, 76, 92] that used IADL scales only one [37] improved IADL ability, and in the six studies [23, ”
The I.A.N.A. task force on frailty assessment of older people in clinical practice (2008, neutral): “(22) Puts assessed frailty on a 9-Frailty Indicator (FI) index: low BMI, low peak expiratory flow, low cognitive functioning, poor distant vision and hearing problems, incontinence, low sense of mastery, depressive symptoms and physical activity.”
Frailty: an emerging research and clinical paradigm--issues and controversies. (2006, background): “For example, exercise and rehabilitation have the potential to improve functional state (60).”
Frailty Syndrome: A Transitional State in a Dynamic Process (2009, methodology): “assessed the effect of exercise training on frailty. Frailty was defined by the presence of 2 of the following 3 criteria: modified Physical Performance Test score between 18 and 32; peak oxygen uptake between 10 and 18 ml/kg/min, and self-reported difficulty with 1 basic ADL or 2 instrumental ADL (”
Effects of physical exercise interventions in frail older adults: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (2015, methodology): “9 61 % women Community dwelling Two tests of physical abilities [51] and according to two questions from the Center for Epidemiological Studies depression scale [2] Multi-component functionally based circuit training”
Research Agenda for Frailty in Older Adults: Toward a Better Understanding of Physiology and Etiology: Summary from the American Geriatrics Society/National Institute on Aging Research Conference on Frailty in Older Adults (2006, background): “In addition to exercise approaches, individualized preventive rehabilitation therapies in frail older adults that include organized physical therapy interventions have been shown to decrease functional decline.(52) It was suggested that further development of such combined approaches may help improv”
Designing Randomized, Controlled Trials Aimed at Preventing or Delaying Functional Decline and Disability in Frail, Older Persons: A Consensus Report (2004, methodology): “For example, in a home-based intervention program aimed at preventing functional decline, one study enrolled participants who were considered frail according to specific criteria but were still able to walk and scored 20 or more on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).(1) Finally, if the trial i”
