FRAIL Scale (Frailty)

A quick five-question screen for frailty in older adults — and the window to reverse it.

Awaiting clinical review. Results are based on validated formulas but pending physician verification.

How this is calculated

One point each for Fatigue, Resistance, Ambulation difficulty, ≥5 Illnesses, and ≥5% unintentional weight Loss. 0 = robust, 1–2 = pre-frail, 3–5 = frail.
