Severity of frailty using modified Thai frailty index, social factors, and prediction of mortality among community-dwelling older adults in a middle-income country.

Background: Frailty has been increasingly recognized as a public health problem for aging populations with significant social impact, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. We aimed to develop a modified version of the Thai Frailty Index (TFI) and explore the association between different frailty statuses, socioeconomic factors, and mortality in community-dwelling older people from a middle-income country.

Methods: The data from participants aged ≥60 years in the Fourth Thai National Health Examination Survey were used to construct the 30-item TFI.
