Overview
Brief Summary
Frailty is a dynamic process from fit (robust) and pre-frail elderly. There is no previous study that determine the risk factors from fit to pre-frailty and pre-frailty to frailty in Indonesian elderly.
This study was aimed to define the risk factors and clinical outcomes of frailty transitional status in Indonesian elderly.
Detailed Description
Frailty is an age-associated, biological syndrome characterized by decreased biological reserves, due to dysregulation of several physiological systems, which puts an individual at risk when facing minor stressors, and is associated with poor outcomes (ie, disability, death, and hospitalization). Frailty identifies a high-risk subgroup and offers characteristics of great clinical importance: a higher reversibility at early stages than disability, and a higher predictive value than chronic disease for adverse outcomes at older ages. It is also the most common condition leading to death in community-dwelling older people. However, there is current consensus that physical frailty is potentially reversible. It is hence useful to objectively detect frailty among frail elderly persons, as frailty indices serve a useful purpose for risk stratification, predicting need for institutional care and planning of services needed. To date, there is no study or information about frailty status in Indonesia elderly. This study was aimed to define the risk factors and clinical outcomes of frailty transitional status in Indonesian elderly.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change from baseline in frailty status at 1 year
Time Frame: Baseline and at 1 year
Frailty status is divided into Fit (robust), Pre-frail, and Frailty.

- Change from baseline in health-related quality of life at 1 year(Baseline and at 1 year)
- Change from baseline in fall incidence at 1 year(Baseline and at 1 year)
- Change from baseline in hospitality at 1 year(Baseline and at 1 year)
