Deficit-Accumulation Frailty Index
The deficit-accumulation frailty index measures frailty as the proportion of a long list of age-related health deficits that a person has accumulated. Introduced by Arnold Mitnitski and Kenneth Rockwood in 2001, it treats frailty not as a fixed syndrome but as a quantitative state: the more things have gone wrong across many body systems, the frailer the person. Counting 30 or more deficits — symptoms, signs, diseases, disabilities, and laboratory abnormalities — and dividing by the number considered yields a continuous score between 0 and 1 that rises with age, predicts mortality and adverse outcomes, and behaves remarkably consistently regardless of exactly which deficits are used. A standardized procedure by Searle and colleagues made the index easy to construct from existing data.

Madai yaliyotunzwa
Madai yamehifadhiwa katika daftari la ushahidi, kila moja ikiwa na tathmini yake.
Mwonekano huu haubuni tathmini ya dai wakati daftari haina yoyote.
