“…Symptoms, signs, diseases, disabilities, medications, or laboratory measurements can be combined in an index to measure frailty [1,[6][7][8], which is calculated as the proportion of individual's deficits in relation to the total amount of deficits chosen [1,[9][10][11][12][13][14]. Frailty indexes (FI) are strongly associated with the risk of death, institutionalization, and worsening health status, especially when at least 30 variables are included although different FIs consider different deficits [1,13,15,16]. FIs show a consistent, sub-maximal limit at about 2/3 of the deficits that are considered [1,[17][18][19].…”
