====== Groningen Frailty Indicator (GFI) ====== [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frailty_syndrome|Frailty]] is an indicator of risk of poor health outcomes (e.g. mortality, institutionalization, hospitalization, and functional decline) in elderly people ([[sections|section: elderly]]). The Groningen Frailty Indicator is a self-assessment instrument designed to measure frailty in the elderly from a multidimensional perspective. The GFI was validated in the population of elderly [[cohort|participants]] in Lifelines((Peters, L.L. et al. (2015). Construct validity of the Groningen Frailty Indicator established in a large sample of home-dwelling elderly persons: Evidence of stability across age and gender. Exp. Gerontol. 69, 129–141)). The GFI was filled in by ~10,000 elderly participants in [[1A Questionnaire 1]] and by ~12,000 elderly participants in follow-up questionnaire [[1B]].
