The aim of this cross-sectional study was to develop a Frailty at Risk Scale (FARS) incorporating ten well-known determinants of frailty: age, sex, marital status, ethnicity, education, income, lifestyle, multimorbidity, life events, and home living environment. In addition, a second aim was to develop an online calculator that can easily support healthcare professionals in determining the risk of frailty among community-dwelling older people. The FARS was developed using data of 373 people aged ≥ 75 years. The Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI) was used for assessing frailty. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the determinants multimorbidity, unhealthy lifestyle, and ethnicity (ethnic minority) were the most important predictors. The area under the curve (AUC) of the model was 0.811 (optimism 0.019, 95% bootstrap CI = −0.029; 0.064). The FARS is offered on a Web site, so that it can be easily used by healthcare professionals, allowing quick intervention in promoting quality of life among community-dwelling older people.

这项横断面研究的目的是开发一个虚弱风险量表 (FARS)，其中包含十个众所周知的虚弱决定因素：年龄、性别、婚姻状况、种族、教育、收入、生活方式、多种疾病、生活事件和家庭生活环境。此外，第二个目标是开发一种在线计算器，可以轻松支持医疗保健专业人员确定社区老年人虚弱的风险。FARS 是使用 373 名年龄≥75 岁的人的数据开发的。蒂尔堡衰弱指标 (TFI) 用于评估衰弱。多变量逻辑回归分析表明，决定因素多发病、不健康的生活方式和种族（少数民族）是最重要的预测因素。该模型的曲线下面积 (AUC) 为 0.811（乐观度 0.019，95% bootstrap CI = −0.029；0. 064). FARS 在网站上提供，因此医疗保健专业人员可以轻松使用它，从而可以快速干预以提高社区老年人的生活质量。
