“…To assess the construct validity of the JFS-C, we examined its correlations with assessment of frailty (the Frail scale), ADL(Barthel Index), and HRQoL(SF-36). The original version of the questionnaire study showed a moderate correlation between JFS and the Kihon Checklist and Locomo-5 ( 15 ), which is a questionnaire measuring elderly mobility function The Kihon Checklist is a questionnaire that reflects frailty status ( 33 ). Locomo-5 is a questionnaire that reflects elderly physical function, which is similar to our research design.…”

PurposeFrailty is a difficult-to-measure condition that is susceptible to adverse outcomes. The Japan Frailty Scale (JFS) is a tool for assessing frailty status in older adults. This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the JFS into a Chinese version (JFS-C).Materials and methodsThe study included 160 older adults as participants. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha, and test–retest reliability was conducted using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Convergent validity was evaluated by assessing the correlation between JFS-C and the Barthel Index, the Frail scale, and the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Criterion validity was assessed by comparing JFS-C scores with the Frail scale.ResultsJFS-C demonstrated adequate internal consistency (Cronbach’s alphas = 0.711) and excellent test–retest reliability over a 7 to 10-day interval (ICC = 0.949). Correlation analysis showed a strong positive correlation between JFS-C and the Frail scale (r = 0.786, p < 0.001), a moderate negative correlation with the Barthel Index (r = −0.598, p < 0.001), and moderate correlations with various subscales of SF-36 (r = −0.574 to −0.661). However, no significant correlations were found between JFS-C and SF-36 mental health (r = −0.363, p < 0.001) or role emotional (r = −0.350, p < 0.001). Based on the reference standard of the Frail scale phenotype (score ≥ 2), the cutoff value for JFS-C was determined to be 3.ConclusionJFS-C demonstrates good reliability and validity in assessing frailty among the older population in China.

Background and Objectives: Frailty in older adults is associated with adverse health outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the frailty status of community-dwelling older adults in Taiwan using the Kihon Checklist (KCL) and explore associations with demographic, physiological, and functional factors. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 278 community-dwelling older adults were classified as robust, prefrail, or frail based on their KCL scores. Participants underwent physical fitness assessments including muscle strength and endurance tests, walking speed tests, and flexibility tests. One-way ANOVA and logistic regression analyses were used to examine differences and associations between frailty status and physical fitness indicators. Results: 36% of participants were robust, 47.1% prefrail, and 16.9% frail. The robust group significantly outperformed the prefrail and frail groups in the 30 s sit-to-stand test, 2.44 m sit-to-walk test, and walking speed (p < 0.001). The 2.44 m sit-to-walk test was a significant predictor of prefrailty (OR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.02–1.36) after adjusting for other physical fitness indicators. Conclusions: Lower limb functional capacity, particularly in the 2.44 m sit-to-walk test, was significantly associated with pre-frailty among community-dwelling older adults in Taiwan. Early screening, the classification of frailty by the Kihon Checklist, and targeted interventions focusing on lower limb strength, endurance, and mobility are crucial for preventing and delaying frailty progression in older populations.
