Thompson MQ, et al. - Researchers examined how frailty status (at baseline and follow-up) is associated with mortality using both the frailty phenotype (FP) and frailty index (FI). They performed frailty measurement in a total of 909 individuals at baseline using the FP and FI, with a mean 4.5 years between baseline and follow-up. Matching of mortality to official death records was done, with a minimum of 10 years of follow-up. Outcomes supported the good predictive value of frailty measurement for mortality up to 10 years; however, the improved prediction was made in correlation to recency of frailty measurement, suggesting the necessity for a regular review of frailty status in older adults.
