Abstract:
? With the acceleration of the aging process, the problem of aged frailty has become prominent, which has aroused widespread concern. Actively and accurately assessing, identifying and intervening the weakened elderly are of great significance for improving the quality of life of the elderly, reducing adverse outcomes and predicting disability. The development and application of various frailty assessment tools in the world are getting matured gradually. Domestic enterprises have begun to use or sinicize foreign tools, and build local assessment tools. This paper reviews the application and adaptation of various assessment tools for frailty in China, and the research progress and prospects of localized assessment tools. The purpose is to provide reference for the assessment of frailty in China, hence to guide the follow-up intervention research.
