“…Frailty was measured in both studies with the Groningen Frailty Indicator [15,36], a short, easy to administer 15-item screening instrument to determine level of frailty (KR-20=.76/.71). The scores range from 0 (not frail) to 15 (severely frail).…”

“…Chronological age can be considered as a proxy for all kinds of losses and deficits which occur in aging. These losses, in turn, are related to a decline in SMA [see, e.g., 7,[15][16][17][18][19]. SMA and frailty were also expected to be negatively related.…”

“…They found that only five instruments included items on all three of these frailty domains: the Frailty Index (FI) or accumulated deficits model [25], Groningen Frailty Indicator (GFI) [57], Clinical Global Impression of Change in Physical Frailty (CGIC-PF) [58], Geriatric Functional Evaluation (GFE) [59], and the Geriatric Functional Evaluation Frailty Index -Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (FI-CGA) [60]. In addition, the majority of the instruments utilized a dichotomous scoring system (i.e.…”
