Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Frailty: The Kihon Checklist

  The Kihon Checklist is a self-reporting survey used for screening frail older adults. It consists of 25 yes/no questions divided into 7 domains: activities of daily living, physical strength, nutrition, eating, socialization, memory, and depressive mood. Higher scores indicate a higher risk of requiring support. A total score ≥ 7 points indicates general frailty (Sewo Sampaio 2016). The Spanish Kihon version used for validation in this study was translated by Maseda et al. (2017).

  The cohort group was assessed in one day visit.

• Frailty: Fried's Frailty Phenotype

  Fried's Frailty Phenotype proposed in the Cardiovascular Health Study (Fried 2001) consists of 5 criteria: unintentional weight loss, exhaustion, low physical activity, reduced grip strength, and reduced gait speed. It has a total score ranging from 0 to 5. A frail person is who scores 3 to 5; prefrail when scores 1 to 2, and robust when scores 0.

  The cohort group was assessed in one day visit.

• Frailty: The Edmonton Frailty Scale

  The Edmonton Frailty Scale (Rolfson 2006) evaluates 9 domains of frailty: cognition, general health status, functional independence, social support, medication usage, nutrition, mood, continence, and functional performance. It has a total score ranging from 0 to 17, with higher scores representing greater frailty severity.

  The cohort group was assessed in one day visit.

• Frailty: The Frail Scale

  Frailty measured by the Frail Scale (Masanes et al., 2012). It has a total score of 5 points. The more score the more frailty. Participants are considered frail individuals with scores 3 to 5; prefrail with scores 1 to 2, and robust with scores of 0.

  The cohort group was assessed in one day visit.

• Frailty: The Tilburg Frailty Indicator

  The Tilburg Frailty Indicator (Gobbens et al., 2010) is a self-reported questionnaire of 15 items addressing physical, psychological and social domains. The total score of the Tilburg scale can range from 0 to 15. Higher scores indicate more frailty.

  The cohort group was assessed in one day visit.
