Background: Although frailty assessment is crucial for understanding critically ill patients' prognosis, traditional frailty measures require substantial efforts and time from health care professionals. To address this limitation, the laboratory frailty index (FI-LAB) based on laboratory clinical data was developed. However, knowledge regarding its correlation with health outcomes among critically ill older patients is limited.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined if Gordon's Functional Health Patterns (FHPs) can predict frailty in older adults in nursing homes over a 5-year period.
- Researchers conducted a prospective cohort study with over 1,200 participants across multiple countries, assessing both FHPs and frailty at the beginning and after 5 years.
- Findings indicated that specific FHPs, particularly related to mobility and nutrition, were effective in predicting lower frailty risk, emphasizing their potential use in clinical settings for early detection and intervention.
