What is the Frailty Index Calculator & How does it work?
The Frailty Index is a measure used in geriatric medicine to quantify an individual’s vulnerability to adverse health outcomes, disability, and death. It is calculated based on the presence of various deficits or frailty indicators.
The index ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 represents no frailty and 1 indicates maximum frailty. A commonly used formula for calculating the Frailty Index involves summing up the number of deficits divided by the total possible deficits.
FI = frac{sum_{i=1}^{n} D_i}{n}
FI = Frailty Index, D_i = presence of deficit i (0 or 1), n = total number of deficits
