A frailty index for UK Biobank participants

2017-12-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Frailty indices (FIs) measure variation in health between aging individuals. Researching FIs in resources with large-scale genetic and phenotypic data will provide insights into the causes and consequences of frailty. Thus, we aimed to develop an FI using UK Biobank data, a cohort study of 500,000 middle-aged and older adults. <h4>Methods</h4> An FI was calculated using 49 self-reported quest...
