The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a simple 1 to 9 scale that helps healthcare providers understand how frail an older adult (65+) is.
1 means a person is very fit
8 means a person is very severely frail
9 means a person is terminally ill
Higher scores show greater frailty and a higher risk of health problems.
The CFS is used around the world in hospitals, clinics and research. It helps care teams identify older adults who may need extra support and plan care that matches their needs.
