Frailty: an emerging research and clinical paradigm--issues and controversies. (2006, background): “For example, studies indicate that obese people are a substantial subset of the frail population (14,36,37), and therefore utilizing weight loss as a measure may underestimate the prevalence of frailty in the obese.”
Aging, frailty and age-related diseases (2010, background): “If this definition of frailty (clinical and physiological) is accepted, a relatively high proportion of very elderly people must be classed as frail (Woods et al. 2005; Chin et al. 2003).”
Frailty Assessment in the Cardiovascular Care of Older Adults (2013, background): “5%) (38), and the Health ABC (Health, Aging, and Body Composition) study showed that older adults with objectively-measured frailty were more likely to develop CAD events (3.”
The I.A.N.A. task force on frailty assessment of older people in clinical practice (2008, neutral): “[20] In the Hispanic Established Population Epidemiological Study of the Elderly (EPESE), Ottenbacher and colleagues found a prevalence of 20% of frailty after evaluating 621 non-institutionalised Mexican American older people (aged 70 and over) and cognition was found to be related to frailty in…”
Frailty syndrome: an overview (2014, positive): “This association has been confirmed with FI and in other large-cohort studies.(62,63) In addition, midlife obesity is shown to be predictive for the development of frailty in older men and women.”
Frailty and risk of falls, fracture, and mortality in older women: the study of osteoporotic fractures. (2007, background): “Another large study of postmenopausal women aged 65–79 years (4) reported an association between this phenotype and risk of hip fracture, but no prior study has examined the relationship between frailty and other fracture types.”
Relationship between depression and frailty in older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis. (2017, background): “All of these risk factors may lead to disability, or unctional dependence, and thus lead to depression (Fugate Woods t al., 2005).”
