Frailty among middle-aged and older Canadians: population norms for the frailty index using the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging

Abstract

the standardized frailty tool and the population-based normative frailty values can help inform discussions about frailty, setting a new bar in the field. Such information can be used by clinicians, researchers, stakeholders and the general public to understand frailty, especially its relationship with age and sex.
