Frailty Fried Phenotype Criteria Score

Assess frailty using the Fried phenotype (unintentional weight loss, exhaustion, weakness, slow gait, low activity) and predict adverse outcomes.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Assess frailty using the Fried phenotype (unintentional weight loss, exhaustion, weakness, slow gait, low activity) and predict adverse outcomes

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Fried phenotype (unintentional weight loss — The fried phenotype (unintentional weight loss recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Exhaustion — The exhaustion recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Weakness — The weakness recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Slow gait — The slow gait recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Low activity) — The low activity) recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Predict adverse outcomes — The predict adverse outcomes recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the fried frailty score result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the Fried phenotype (unintentional weight loss, exhaustion, weakness, slow gait, low activity), predict adverse outcomes for the scenario you are assessing. Assess frailty using the Fried phenotype (unintentional weight loss, exhaustion, weakness, slow gait, low activity) and predict adverse outcomes. Use the fried frailty score result to inform your calculation.
