Frailty and pre-frailty are a pressing concern in primary care, affecting millions of people across the UK. Frailty is prevalent in >43% of people aged 65 and over, rising to over 65% of people aged 90+.1,2 Although frailty and declining physical function are associated with increased age, pre-frailty can be identified in up to 37% of people aged 50-64.3,4 Frailty not only impacts patient outcomes but also places a significant burden on healthcare resources.5 Early identification of frailty symptoms, such as malnutrition and muscle loss are crucial for enahancing people's quality of life and helping them live healthier for longer.6-8
Screening for frailty, malnutrition, and muscle loss is a vital step in supporting patient outcomes.9 By identifying symptoms of frailty early, such as loss of muscle mass and malnutrition, healthcare providers can implement targeted interventions, which can help treat and even prevent frailty. This proactive approach can lead to improved patient outcomes and enhanced quality of life.6-8
