• A new aging measure captures morbidity and mortality risk across diverse subpopulations from NHANES IV: A cohort study (2018, background): “Many of the measures of aging, such as those based on deficit accumulation [14,27], include measures of morbidity in their construction, and thus it is impossible to disentangle aging and disease, or determine the usefulness of such measures in healthy populations.”
• Prevalence and 10‐Year Outcomes of Frailty in Older Adults in Relation to Deficit Accumulation (2010, methodology): “For instance, according to either approach, people who were frailer were more likely to be older, female, and likely to die.(8) This suggests that the Frailty Index is a robust measure and that its properties are generally insensitive to how it is constructed.”
• Physical Frailty: ICFSR International Clinical Practice Guidelines for Identification and Management (2019, neutral): “There is much potential for frailty to be reversed, particularly in its early stages (28-30).”
• Frailty and post-operative outcomes in older surgical patients: a systematic review (2016, background): “The deficits encompass co-morbidities, physical and cognitive impairments, psychosocial risk factors and common geriatric syndromes [10].”
• A comparison of two approaches to measuring frailty in elderly people. (2007, methodology): “Discussion We compared two approaches to frailty, and showed considerable convergence between the phenotypic definition of frailty (8, 14, 23, 24) and the method of considering frailty in relation to deficit accumulation (9,25-27).”
• Frailty syndrome: an overview (2014, neutral): “Compared to the FP definition described earlier, the FI appears to be a more sensitive predictor of adverse health outcomes, because of its more finely graded risk scale and inclusion of deficits that likely have causal relationships with adverse clinical outcomes.(20) While the FI may have clinical”
• The Effectiveness of Exercise Interventions for the Management of Frailty: A Systematic Review (2011, methodology): “Rockwood and Mitnitski’s [6] frailty index is based on a mathematical model of the accumulation of deficits where a deficit can be any symptom, sign, disease, disability,”
• Aging, frailty and age-related diseases (2010, background): “Thus, frailty can be operationalized in several ways, e.g., accumulation of deficits, clinical syndrome, clinical phenotype (Rockwood et al. 2006; Rockwood and Mitnitski 2007a, b; Fried et al. 2001).”
