FRAIL
The FRAIL Scale is a brief, five-item clinical screening tool developed by John E. Morley and colleagues to identify frailty in older adults. Designed as a simple and efficient alternative to more comprehensive frailty assessments, it incorporates the key domains of the frailty phenotype: fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness, and weight loss. The FRAIL Scale is widely used in primary care, hospital, and long-term care settings to stratify risk and guide management decisions.
