Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS)

Early identification of frailty allows for interventions that may prevent, delay, or reverse frailty, such as exercise, nutritional optimization, and treatment of underlying conditions.

No, frailty exists on a spectrum. Not all frail individuals develop a disability, and some may revert to a less frail state with appropriate interventions.

Healthcare providers should routinely screen for frailty, provide targeted interventions, and coordinate care across settings to optimize outcomes for frail older adults.
