[Frail-VIG index: Convergent and discriminatory validity with respect to Short Physical Performance Battery in general population].

Background And Objective: Studies of frailty in primary health care (PHC) using frailty indexes are scarce. Frail-VIG index assesses the level of frailty through a multidimensional approach. The main objective was to investigate the convergent and discriminative validity of the frail-VIG index with respect to Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) in general population ≥ 70 years.

[Cardiovascular risk of SCORE compared to Framingham. Consequences of the change proposed by the European Societies].

Background And Objective: The European Societies in their last update introduce substantial changes to calculate the cardiovascular risk without thinking about the practical consequences. The objective was to evaluate the agreement between the charts of cardiovascular risk of second and the third recommendations of the European Societies to classify the patients of high risk and to analyze its differences.

Patients And Method: Patients (1,227) belonging to 3 primary care centres.
