Clinical Frailty Scale

The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a tool used by healthcare providers to assess an older person's level of overall fitness and resilience. It considers physical health, mobility, activity levels, and how well the person can perform daily tasks. The scale ranges from 1 (very fit) to 9 (terminally ill), helping determine how vulnerable a person is to health problems. This assessment guides medical decisions, care planning, and helps predict potential recovery prospects. It is a quick, visual way to understand overall health and frailty in older adults, promoting personalized and appropriate care.
