Abstract:
Objective To compare the predictive value of Fried frailty phenotype (FP) and Tilburg frailty Index (TFI) to the quality of life in community elderly people so as to provide a reference for the grass-roots general practitioners to choose the appropriate quality of life screening tool in the community elderly people.Methods Using the convenient sampling method,638 elderly people in the community were selected as the research subjects.FP and TFI were used to assess frailty,and the quality of life was evaluated by the brief health questionnaire (SF-12).The Kappa value was used to evaluate the consistency of the two scales. The Pearson correlation was used to detect the correlation between the two scales and SF-12 respectively,and the Bayes discriminant analysis was used to evaluate and analyze the predictive ability of the two scales on the quality of life.Results Among the 638 community elderly people,the screened incidence rate of frailty was 15.4％ by FP and 28.2％ by TFI,the Kappa value of FP and TFI consistence test was 0.569 (P<0.001). The results of correlation analysis showed that FP and TFI were negatively correlated with the total physical health score (PCS) and total mental health score (MCS) of SF-12 (FP with PCS and MCS,r=-0.772,-0.349,P<0.01;TFI with PCS and MCS,r=-0.738,-0.491,P<0.01).Taking the quality of life as the criterion,the cross-validation accuracy rates of FP and TFI for predicting the PCS decline were 76.65％ and 71.63％ respectively,which for MCS decline was 72.10％ and 75.55％ respectively.Conclusion Both FP and TFI all have the predictive value on the decline of quality of life of the community elderly people,but TFI has the characteristics of multi-dimensions and easy application,so it is more effective and practical for evaluating the quality of life in the community elderly people.
