Self-assessment

Are you becoming frail?

A free, one-minute self-test based on the validated FRAIL scale. Five questions place you as robust, pre-frail, or frail, age-related muscle loss is the main driver, and it is most reversible early. Your answers stay on your device unless you choose to share them.

Five quick questions from the validated FRAIL scale. Answer about how things have been recently.

1In the past 4 weeks, how much of the time did you feel tired?
2On your own and without aids, do you have any difficulty walking up 10 steps without resting?
3On your own and without aids, do you have any difficulty walking several hundred metres?
4Has a doctor told you that you have 5 or more of these: high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, chronic lung disease, heart attack, heart failure, angina, asthma, arthritis, stroke, kidney disease?
5In the past year, have you unintentionally lost more than 5% of your body weight (about 4 kg / 9 lb if you weigh 80 kg)?

Based on the FRAIL scale (Morley et al., 2012), a validated frailty screen. This is a screening aid, not a diagnosis. Frailty is confirmed by a clinician using measures such as grip strength and walking speed.
