About

This study evaluates the frailty and the health adverse events in the population of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging. It will be used the Centre of Excellence Self-Administered questionnaire (CESAM) which assesses frailty of older adults by providing a score and a of frailty in 4 levels.

Full description

Age is broadly recognized to confer a risk for health adverse outcomes, but it is an insensitive and non-specific measure for use in individual decision-making. Frailty has been emerging to take its rightful place as a better measure for over past decades. Despite general consensus that the concept of frailty is clinically useful, the lack of agreement on its definition and the challenge of its measurement by front-line health providers mean that frailty remains only 'their apparent' to chronological age as a criterion to select older persons at risk.
