Phenotype of Frailty: Characterization in the Women's Health and Aging Studies

The Journals of Gerontology Series A · 2006 · Vol. 61(3) · pp. 262–266

Abstract

The findings of this study are consistent with the widely held theory that conceptualizes frailty as a syndrome. The frailty definition developed in the CHS is applicable across diverse population samples and identifies a profile of high risk of multiple adverse outcomes.
