Comparison of 2 frailty indexes for prediction of falls, disability, fractures, and death in older women
Background Frailty, as defined by the index derived from the Cardiovascular Health Study
(CHS index), predicts risk of adverse outcomes in older adults. Use of this index, however, is
impractical in clinical practice. Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study in 6701
women 69 years or older to compare the predictive validity of a simple frailty index with the
components of weight loss, inability to rise from a chair 5 times without using arms, and
reduced energy level (Study of Osteoporotic Fractures [SOF index]) with that of the CHS …
