Frailty Scale for Older Adults in the ICU
This study uses a simple picture-based scale to measure frailty in older adults (60+) who were admitted to the intensive care unit. It aims to better understand how frailty affects recovery in this setting.

This study looks at how nutrition relates to frailty in older adults staying in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may help find better ways to support recovery.
This study looks at how a personalized “frailty” checklist can help older adults (65+) understand their health and make better choices. You may be asked to complete questionnaires and a frailty-type assessment to see if the approach works for you.
This study looks at how different factors—like health, mental well-being, and social support—work together to predict frailty in older adults. The goal is to better understand frailty in men and women, which may help doctors provide more personalized care.
