The aim of this study was to develop the Multidimensional Frailty Scale, originally called the <em>Escala de Fragilidad Multidimensional</em> (EFM), to assess the physical, cognitive, affective, social, and environmental dimensions of frailty in individuals aged 65 and over and to conduct the initial phases of the validation process.
