Predicting ADL disability in community-dwelling elderly people using physical frailty indicators: a systematic review

TLDR
It is indicated that individual physical frailty indicators, such as weight loss, gait speed, grip strength, physical activity, balance, and lower extremity function are predictors of future ADL disability in community-dwelling elderly people.
Abstract
Background Disability in Activities of Daily Living (ADL) is an adverse outcome of frailty that places a burden on frail elderly people, care providers and the care system. Knowing which physical frailty indicators predict ADL disability is useful in identifying elderly people who might benefit from an intervention that prevents disability or increases functioning in daily life. The objective of this study was to systematically review the literature on the predictive value of physical frailty indicators on ADL disability in community-dwelling elderly people.

Frailty and the Prediction of Negative Health Outcomes: A Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: The analyses presented in this study can be used as a guideline for the prediction of negative outcomes according to the frailty concept used, as well as to estimate the time frame within which these events can be expected to occur.

The impact of frailty status on survival after transcatheter aortic valve replacement in older adults with severe aortic stenosis: a single-center experience.

TL;DR: Frailty was not associated with increased periprocedural complications in patients selected as candidates to undergo TAVR but was associated withincreased 1-year mortality after TAVr, suggesting adequacy of the standard selection process for identifying patients at risk for periprosal complications after T AVR.

Combined Prevalence of Frailty and Mild Cognitive Impairment in a Population of Elderly Japanese People

TL;DR: A population-based survey to ascertain the single and combined prevalence of frailty and MCI and to identify the relationships between frailtyand MCI in older Japanese adults found more participants with MCI than with frailty.

A comparison of four frailty models

TL;DR: To determine how well the interview‐based, clinic‐friendly International Academy of Nutrition and Aging (FRAIL) frailty scale predicts future disability and mortality in the African American Health (AAH) cohort, the comprehensive Frailty Index (FI) is compared.

Frailty in Older Adults Evidence for a Phenotype

TL;DR: This study provides a potential standardized definition for frailty in community-dwelling older adults and offers concurrent and predictive validity for the definition, and finds that there is an intermediate stage identifying those at high risk of frailty.

The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology [STROBE] statement: guidelines for reporting observational studies

TL;DR: The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) initiative developed recommendations on what should be included in an accurate and complete report of an observational study, resulting in a checklist of 22 items (the STROBE statement) that relate to the title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, and discussion sections of articles.
