According to news reportingout of Xinxiang Medical Uni versity by NewsRx editors, research stated, “Frailty is a state that is closelyassociated with adverse health outcomes in the aging process. The frailty index (FI), which measuresfrailty in terms of cumulative deficits, has been widely us ed for frailty assessment in elderly people, and itsadvantage of self-reported information collection makes it applicable to a broader group of elderly people.”Financial supporters for this research include National Natural Sciences Foundat ion of China.Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Xinxiang Medical Univer sity: “Our studyaims to simplify the Frailty Index Assessment Scale, while main taining its reliability and accuracy, toeasily and quickly assess frailty in el derly people. In this study, participants (age 65 years) from theChinese Longit udinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), which had 13,339, 372 and 1214 particip antsin 2008, 2011, and 2014, respectively, were used. The 2008 dataset was spli t into 80% for training and20% for internal validat ion, and the data from 2011 to 2014 as external validation. In order to obtaine ffective predictors, we used Lasso regression, Boruta algorithm and random fores t classifier score forfeature selection. We used six models for predictive mode l construction and evaluated the models inthe validation dataset. Model perform ance was measured by area under the curve (AUC), accuracy andF1 score. Logistic regression was found to be the best performing and most interpretable algorithm withAUC, accuracy and F1 of 0.974, 0.932 and 0.880 for the validation dataset, respectively. The AUCs for theexternal independent validation dataset were 0.9 63 and 0.977, respectively. Subgroup analysis showed thatthe model had good pre dictive power in both males and females. The predictive power was stronger amongthe elderly people over 80 years old, with AUC, accuracy and F1 of 0.973,0.914, and 0.893, respectively.The model also obtained good predictive power in the c ase of FI measured by different indicators. Themodel showed good robustness in the follow-up assessment of frailty status in elderly people, with the AUCremai ning above 0.95 and accuracy above 0.9 over the long-term follow-up.”
