A standard procedure for creating a frailty index (2008, positive): “To encourage more widespread evaluation of frailty – a goal encouraged by many groups [12-14] – we present a detailed, step-by-step procedure to describe which potential variables can be included in a frailty index, and how to establish cut-points for continuous variables.”
The Tilburg Frailty Indicator: psychometric properties. (2010, background): “Frailty provides a conceptual basis for moving away from organ- and disease-based approaches toward a health-based, integrative approach.(11) Taking as a starting point the definition by the World Health Organization, which defines health as ‘‘a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-be”
Cognitive frailty: Rational and definition from an (I.A.N.A./I.A.G.G.) International Consensus Group (2013, positive): “however, some recent work has started considering cognition in the definition of frailty (6, 7).”
Effects of Different Exercise Interventions on Risk of Falls, Gait Ability, and Balance in Physically Frail Older Adults: A Systematic Review (2013, positive): “5,6 The prevalence of frailty in people older than 65 years is high (ranging from 7% to 16.3%), increases with age, 7–9 and is the main risk factor for disability.”
The Continuum of Aging and Age-Related Diseases: Common Mechanisms but Different Rates (2018, background): “org March 2018 | Volume 5 | Article 61 have proliferated on the definition of frailty, what criteria should be used for its recognition, and its molecular relationships with aging, disability, and chronic diseases (42).”
Correspondence analysis is a useful tool to uncover the relationships among categorical variables (2009, background): “Frailty in the elderly population is generally acknowledged to be a state of increased vulnerability to stressors due to impairments in multiple physiological systems [16].”
Aging, frailty and age-related diseases (2010, background): “This would imply that although aging predisposes to frailty, not all elderly are frail (Schuurmans et al. 2004; Bergman et al. 2007) and suggests”
Predicting ADL disability in community-dwelling elderly people using physical frailty indicators: a systematic review (2011, background): “Frailty is a concept that has been defined in many different ways [7-9].”
Frailty Assessment in the Cardiovascular Care of Older Adults (2013, background): “, catalyzing the transition from frailty to overt disability) remains an area of discussion (1,21).”
Objectively measured physical capability levels and mortality: systematic review and meta-analysis (2010, background): “can be assessed by self report or objectively by using tests such as grip strength, walking speed, chair rising, and standing balance. Growing evidence from single studies suggests that these objective measures of physical capability are also useful markers of current and future health. As a result,”
Physical Frailty: ICFSR International Clinical Practice Guidelines for Identification and Management (2019, positive): “A Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) (68) is too complex to be used as a frailty assessment tool and can miss frailty as it was originally designed to assess disability (and contributing medical conditions) in older adults before the concept of frailty existed clinically (95).”
Searching for an operational definition of frailty: a Delphi method based consensus statement: the frailty operative definition-consensus conference project. (2013, background): “In addition to assessing physical functioning, many researchers believe that frailty definitions should also include domains, such as cognition, mood, and other aspects of mental health (6,7).”
The I.A.N.A. task force on frailty assessment of older people in clinical practice (2008, neutral): “( 15, 41) Gait speed was considered by some of the GAP members as a valid single tool to assess frailty in clinical practice.”
