Abstract

Objective: Practical scales with tested validity and reliability are needed to clinically determine frailty.The aim of this study is to find out whether the Fatigue, Resistance, Ambulation, Illnesses, and Loss of weight (FRAIL) scale is an effective screening scale to show frailty Patients and Methods: The Frail non-Disabled (FIND) scale validated in the Turkish population was applied for FRAIL scale validation. Comprehensive geriatric assessment and Fried Index were performed on 85 outpatients who were 65 years and older. The patients were examined in terms of comorbidity, number of falls, living environment, number of drugs used, and hospitalization in the last year. Results: The FRAIL scale had a high correlation with the FIND scale and Fried Index (correlation coefficients are 0.956 and 0.934, respectively).In addition, it was found to be associated with Activities of Daily Living (ADL),Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) scales,the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE),Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS),Mini Nutritional Assessment short-form (MNA-sf),Clock Drawing Test (CDT),handgrip strength, and timed up and go test(p

评估老年人身体虚弱的有效实用工具：FRAIL量表的土耳其验证

目的:临床需要具有可测试效度和信度的实用量表来确定虚弱程度。本研究的目的是找出疲劳、抵抗力、活动、疾病和体重减轻(虚弱)量表是否为显示虚弱患者的有效筛选量表。方法:在土耳其人群中验证的虚弱非残疾(find)量表被用于虚弱量表验证。对85例65岁及以上的门诊患者进行老年综合评估和Fried指数。对患者的合并症、跌倒次数、生活环境、用药次数和去年住院情况进行调查。结果:虚弱量表与FIND量表、Fried指数具有较高的相关性(相关系数分别为0.956、0.934)。此外，还发现其与日常生活活动(ADL)、日常生活工具活动(IADL)量表、简易精神状态检查(MMSE)、Yesavage老年抑郁量表(GDS)、简易营养评估简表(MNA-sf)、时钟绘制测试(CDT)、握力和定时起床测试(p
