Oral frailty has become a worldwide problem among older adults. Although researchers have conducted various studies on oral frailty, its definition remains controversial....
To clarify the concept of oral frailty....
Online databases PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, ProQuest, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), and Wanfang database w...
The attributes of oral frailty were abnormal oral structure and/or decline in multi-faceted oral function and coexisting decline in physical, cognitive and social functions. Its antecedents were aging...
Oral frailty could result in worse conditions among older adults physically, psychologically and socially. Tools based on the concept analysis need to be developed to comprehensively assess oral frail...
This Mini-Review showcases the latest evidence on rehabilitation opportunities for older people with multimorbidity and frailty. There is growing evidence, that a person-centered and contextualized re...
The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a clinical judgement-based frailty tool developed from the Canadian Study of Health and Aging. Many studies on the measurement of frailty and its effect on clinical...
This cross-sectional study included 298 patients who were aged ≥65 years and admitted to Yenimahalle Family Health Center between May-2022 and July-2022. Frailty was evaluated by using CFS. Polypharma...
There was a statistically significance between age groups, gender, smoking status, marital status, polypharmacy status, and FS (...
Polypharmacy, especially excessive polypharmacy, may be a promising adjunct to frailty in identifying older patients whose health is more likely to worsen. Providers in primary care should also consid...
Lacunar strokes (LS) are ischemic strokes of the small perforating arteries of deep gray and white matter of the brain. Frailty has been associated with greater mortality and attenuated response to tr...
To analyze the association between frailty and outcomes in LS....
Patients with LS were selected from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2016-2019 using the International Classification of Disease, 10...
Of 48,980 patients with LS, 10,830 (22.1%) were severely frail. Severely frail patients were more likely to be older, have comorbidities, and pertain to lower socioeconomic status categories. Severely...
Severe frailty in LS patients is associated with higher rates of complications and increased HRU. Risk stratification based on frailty may allow for individualized treatments to help mitigate adverse ...
The original conceptual landscape of frailty has evolved into a complex, multidimensional biopsychosocial syndrome. This has broadened the field to now include social and behavioral scientists and cli...
Although studies have analyzed the relationship between frailty and human senses, few have comprehensively evaluated and examined their correlations. This study aimed to clarify the relationship betwe...
The subjects were outpatients at the Locomo Frail Outpatient Clinic. Sensory organ items were evaluated subjectively, and frailty was classified as nonfrail or frail using the Kihon Checklist. Univari...
A total of 269 and 226 participants were assigned to the nonfrail and frail groups, respectively. The frequency of sensory organ impairment was 10.1% for taste, 12.7% for smell, 44.6% for vision, and ...
Olfactory impairment had the strongest correlation with frailty. Although the sense of smell decreases with disease and aging, olfactory impairment may be correlated with frailty as a symptom of neuro...
Frailty is a common geriatric syndrome and is characterised by a decreased physiological reserve and increased vulnerability to stressors. Pre-frailty is a risk-state before frailty. A systematic lite...
An SLR for the period 2001-2021 was undertaken. All studies (including conference abstracts) that reported on the prevalence of (pre)-frailty in patients with RA were included. Assessment of risk of b...
25/1,363 studies were included in the SLR. Weighted average age was 58.0 years. Pre-frailty prevalence rates ranged between 20.4%-71% (median: 35.8%); for frailty, rates between 1.2%-75.1% (median: 23...
(Pre-)frailty is common in RA patients. Large part of the variation is explained by clinical and methodological heterogeneity. High-quality studies with validated frailty instruments specifically for ...
We examined the construct validity of 2 self-reported frailty questionnaires, the Frailty Phenotype Questionnaire (FPQ) and FRAIL, against the Cardiovascular Health Study frailty phenotype (CHS-FP)....
Cross-sectional data analysis of longitudinal prospective cohort study....
We included data from 230 older adults (mean age: 67.2 ± 7.4 years) from the "Longitudinal Assessment of Biomarkers for characterization of early Sarcopenia and Osteosarcopenic Obesity in predicting f...
We compared area under receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC), agreement, correlation, and predictive validity against outcome measures [Short Physical Performance Battery, 5 times repeat chai...
Prevalence of prefrail/frail was 25.7%, 14.8%, and 48.3% for FPQ, FRAIL, and CHS-FP, respectively. Compared with FRAIL, FPQ had better diagnostic performance (AUC = 0.617 vs 0.531, P = .002; sensitivi...
Our results support complementary validity of FPQ and FRAIL in independent community-dwelling older adults. FPQ has increased case detection sensitivity with good predictive validity, whereas FRAIL de...
Frailty is common in patients with cirrhosis and increases the vulnerability to internal and external stressors. This study aimed to investigate the impact of frailty, as defined by the Clinical Frail...
We analyzed data of 201 nonelectively hospitalized patients with cirrhosis and without higher-grade chronic kidney disease. Patient characteristics were captured within the first 24 hours of hospital ...
In the total cohort, median CFS was 3 (interquartile range 3-4), and 34 (16.9%) patients were frail (CFS >4). During the hospital stay, 110 (54.7%) and 49 (24.3%) patients developed AKI or HRS-AKI, re...
Frailty in patients with cirrhosis is associated with AKI and HRS-AKI. In this context, CFS appears to be a reliable tool to identify patients at high risk for developing AKI or HRS-AKI on hospital ad...
After the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), "pandemic-associated-frailty" or profound health deterioration, in older adults has been considered a health concern. In this study, we s...
A total of 5222 older adults in Otawara City, Tochigi Prefecture, aged 70 and 75 were surveyed annually using a complete survey, excluding those who were certified as requiring long-term care. Frailty...
The frailty statuses over the five-year period showed a significant decrease in Robust and a significant increase in Pre-frailty and Frailty (p < 0.001). Frailty increased markedly during the second y...
The population prevalence of frailty in older adults increased steadily from the pre-pandemic year through the first and second years of the pandemic. Based on the 25 questions of the KCL, two aspects...
