Aim: Frailty is a syndrome that affects certain older adults more than others, and it has physical, cognitive, psychological, social and environmental aspects. The aim of our study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) version 2.0 in Turkish. In total, 204 older adults aged ≥65 years took part in this study.
Methods: The necessary permissions were obtained from Rockwood et al. The Turkish version of CFS version 2.0 had been appropriately translated through translation to the back-translation process. A questionnaire was used to investigate certain descriptive features, as well as the newly edited Turkish translation of CFS version 2.0, the Turkish version of the FRAIL Scale and the Turkish version of the Edmonton Frail Scale.
Results: The age range was 65-95 years. In a Pearson correlation analysis, a positive link was discovered between FRAIL and CFS (r = 0.761 and P = 0.000) as well as CFS and Edmonton (r = 0.895 and P = 0.000).
Conclusion: The Turkish translation of CFS version 2.0 has been determined to be suitable, valid and reliable for use in frailty screening in outpatient clinics. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2022; 22: 730-735.

Background: Cooking skills (CSs) and food skills (FSs) are essential in promoting healthier eating habits. Eating competence (EC) encompasses an individual's self-regulation, enjoyment, and positive attitude toward food, contributing to their overall well-being. However, no research has explored the relationship between CSs, FSs, and EC, particularly within the Brazilian context.

Article Synopsis
- Fatigue in older adults is a serious issue that can lead to various health problems, decreased social interaction, and increased healthcare needs, with a prevalence of 37.9% identified in this study conducted in Ethiopia.
- A community-based study involving 605 older adults used the Chalder Fatigue Scale and statistical analyses to determine factors contributing to fatigue.
- Key risk factors for fatigue included advanced age, multiple health conditions, lack of physical activity, poor social support, insomnia, and depression, highlighting the need for public health interventions.
Background: Special Operations Forces (SOF) have become the solution to many of the United States military challenges due to their ability to conduct time sensitive, clandestine, and high-risk missions. Historically, SOF were assumed to be resilient to the psychological sequelae of war, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, the objective burden of PTSD in SOF, particularly after traumatic brain injury (TBI), remains unknown.
