Design of a frailty index among community living middle-aged and older people: The Rotterdam study

Highlights • We developed a frailty index for community-living older people. • The frailty index showed construct and criterion validity. • Frailty is associated with all-cause mortality. • We advise the use of at least 30 deficits to construct a frailty index. • If 20 deficits are known, multiple i...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We developed a frailty index for community-living older people. • The frailty index showed construct and criterion validity. • Frailty is associated with all-cause mortality. • We advise the use of at least 30 deficits to construct a frailty index. • If 20 deficits are known, multiple imputation of missing values can increase precision.
