“…Using multivariable-adjusted Cox models, we found a higher risk of any cancer in frail vs. non-frail UKB participants, when defined by both FI (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.22; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.17–1.28) and FP (HR = 1.16; 95% CI = 1.11–1.21). …”

“…Fried’s frailty scale was used to classify individuals into fit, pre-frail, or frail. Non-parametric tests and chi-square tests were employed to evaluate the inter-group differences in frailty levels under different influencing factors. …”

“…The health-related outcomes were divided into clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcomes; clinical outcomes were further divided into postoperative complications and supportive management procedures. Compared to the non-frail group, the frail group was significantly associated with a greater risk of high mortality, major complications, acute renal failure, myocardial infarction, non-home discharge, reintubation, and longer length of hospital stay. …”

“…INTRODUCTION: This systematic literature review evaluates (1) frailty in older adults as a risk factor for short-term adverse events and suboptimal clinical outcomes after total joint arthroplasty and (2) interventions to improve arthroplasty outcomes in these frail patients. METHODS: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials, SCOPUS, AgeLine, and Web of Science were searched from database inception to November 22, 2017; gray literature and references were also searched. …”

Frail elderly had higher odds of falls as well as fear of falling compared with non-frail, irrespective of the definitions. …”
