The Quantile Frailty Index: A Cutpoint-Free Approach to Biomarker-Based Health Assessment

We develop a frailty index (FI) from continuous valued biomarker measurements that does not use thresholds to binarize deficits. In this work we construct a quantile frailty index (FI-Q) directly from risk quantiles, without binarizing the deficits. FI-Q is the average risk quantile for an individua...
