•Subjects aged between 55 and 75 years, who are living independently in the city
•of Amersfoort (the Netherlands) and who understand spoken and written are
•eligible to participate. All participants will provide written informed
•consent. After signing informed consent, each participant will first undergo a
•medical screening by a physician in order to exclude any contra-indications for
•participation to the test battery. Those who are non-frail at baseline (i.e.
•robust on three frailty scales: score=0/5 for the Fried phenotype, score<0.25
•for the Rockwood Frailty Index as operationalised by Collerton et al. and
•score<4/15 for the Groningen Frailty Indicator) will be included in the
•longitudinal study and invited to be reassessed for potential early markers of
•frailty every 2.5 years for 10 years.

•Subjects who are at baseline unable to participate in the assessments due to
•physical (e.g. unable to stand up or walk) or cognitive impairments (e.g.
•unable to understand the test instructions and/or Mini Mental State Examination
•score < 23/30), will be excluded as well as those with a recent (past 6 months)
•diagnosis of cancer and/or who had surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy within
•the past 6 months or scheduled for the near future.
