“…Curcio et al (2014) suggested multiple factors identified to be associated with frailty, including increasing in age, lower education, presence of chronic diseases, poor self-reported health status, low dependence in basic and instrumental activities of daily living, depression and cognitive impairment. Further, a study done in Canada comparing the prevalence of frailty in urban and rural areas reported differences, with the rural had a higher prevalence than urban area (Song et al 2007). It seems that this sample from sub-urban of Malaysian was more likely to be pre-frail probably due to diseases and unhealthy lifestyle.…”

Aging is associated with increased risk of frailty and malnutrition. However, food insecurity has rarely been highlighted in the elderly 3%). With respect to food insecurity, most of them reported that they had enough food (93.1%). There were significant correlation (p < 0.05) between food insecurity with height (r = -0.263, p = 0.026). Most of the participants were pre-frail (58.3%), frail (27.8%) and followed by non-frail (13.9%). Calcium intake is inversely associated with frailty (t = -2.62, p = 0.011). In conclusion, food insecurity was not 263, uzur (27.8%)

“…[16][17][18][19][20] The prevalence of frailty using a frailty index approach has been less well studied, although age-associated distributions of deficit accumulation have been multiply replicated. [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] Here, the objectives were to estimate the prevalence and 10-year outcomes of frailty using a deficit accumulation approach in a representative survey of community-dwelling older adults in Canada. The frailty prevalence estimations that used other definitions of frailty will also be discussed, to follow the increasing call for comparative studies 2,12,29,30 when conducting frailty research.…”

OBJECTIVES:To evaluate the prevalence and 10-year outcomes of frailty in older adults in relation to deficit accumulation. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: The National Population Health Survey of Canada, with frailty estimated at baseline (1994/95) and mortality follow-up to 2004/05. PARTICIPANTS: Community-dwelling older adults (N 5 2,740, 60.8% women) aged 65 to 102 from 10 Canadian provinces. During the 10-year follow-up, 1,208 died. MEASUREMENTS: Self-reported health information was used to construct a frailty index (Frailty Index) as a proportion of deficits accumulated in individuals. The main outcome measure was mortality. RESULTS: The prevalence of frailty increased with age in men and women (correlation coefficient 5 0.955-0.994, Po.001). The Frailty Index estimated that 622 (22.7%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 5 21.0-24.4%) of the sample was frail. Frailty was more common in women (25.3%, 95% CI 5 23.2-27.5%) than in men (18.6%, 95% CI 5 15.9-21.3%). For those aged 85 and older, the Frailty Index identified 39.1% (95% CI 5 31.3-46.9%) of men as frail, compared with 45.1% (95% CI 5 39.7-50.5%) of women. Frailty significantly increased the risk of death, with an age-and sex-adjusted hazard ratio for the Frailty Index of 1.57 (95% CI 5 1.41-1.74). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of frailty increases with age and at any age lessens survival. The Frailty Index approach readily identifies frail people at risk of death, presumably because of its use of multiple health deficits in multidimensional domains. J Am Geriatr Soc 58:681-687, 2010.

Background: Frailty is an important geriatric syndrome and many efforts were made to measure and describe its properties, such as the Frailty Index (FI), clinical frailty and phenotype frailty. However, the majority of these measures were developed based on physical components. In the present study, a novel Neurocognitive Frailty Index (NFI) was developed by adapting FI components and adding several neurocognitive components to create a more comprehensive measure of frailty in the elderly.
