フォローアップ中央期間14年間、死亡総数 1,801、心血管疾患死 672
全死亡率への多変量ハザード比(95% 信頼区間）は、健常(robust)比較で、prefrailで 1.29 (1.14-1.45)、 frailで 2.16 (1.82-2.58) (p‐trend ＜ .001)
身体不活発比較で、身体活発状態では、統計学的に有意に死亡率減少と関連(健常(robust)間 18% (1–32%)、 prefrail者間 28% (16–39%)、 frail者間 39% (17–55%) ）(all p ＜ .001)
健常(robust)かつ身体活発と比較し、frail及び身体不活発では全死亡率最も高い 2.45 (95%CI: 1.95–3.06)
身体活発なfrail者では、全死亡率ハザード比は、pre-frail及び身体活発と同等 (各々、1.70 (1.32–2.19) と 1.56 (1.34–1.82)）
prefrailだが身体活発対象者の死亡率は、健常(robust）だが身体不活発な被検者と同等
心血管疾患死亡率も同様の結果

The group defined frailty as
“A medical syndrome with multiple causes and contributors that is characterized by diminished strength, endurance, and reduced physiologic function that increases an individual’s vulnerability for developing increased dependency and/or death.”
In addition to the definition, the group made 4 key points:
- Although recognizing that frail individuals could be disabled and that not all disabled persons are frail, the group agreed that the emphasis on case finding should target the pre-disabled not the dependent (defined here as persons with 1 or more deficits in basic activities of daily living). Targeting those who are frail and pre-disabled in this manner, case finding becomes of major importance, as it allows interventions that could prevent dependency.
- Although sarcopenia may be a component of frailty, it was agreed that frailty is more multifaceted than sarcopenia alone.
- The group agreed that a number of well-validated models of frailty existed and that the definitive diagnosis of frailty should be done by a geriatrician using the basic criteria of these well-defined models. It is accepted that these models predict increased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes and mortality.
- As conceived in this document, physical frailty differs from multimorbidity. Both are common, but multimorbidity is more pervasive, being present in 3 of 4 persons older than 65 years and 1 of 4 in those younger than 65.40 Physical frailty focuses on specific areas for which a general treatment approach can be developed, whereas multimorbidity moves the focus to the management of each condition separately, although both require multidimensional assessment and management. A larger construct of frailty, as proposed by Rockwood et al, as a state of increased vulnerability due to impairments in many systems that may give rise to diminished ability to respond to even mild stresses, incorporates multimorbidity and central nervous system impairments that can be recognized in relation to cognitive and affective disorders.
