FRAIL Scale (frailty screen)
FRAIL Scale (Morley 2012): a 0–5 count over fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illnesses, and weight loss; 0 = robust, 1–2 = pre-frail, ≥ 3 = frail.

Example
- Fatigue most of the time
- Yes
- Resistance
- Yes
- Ambulation
- Yes
Result: FRAIL Scale 3/5: frail (0 = robust, 1–2 = pre-frail, ≥ 3 = frail).
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- Bands
- 0 = robust, 1–2 = pre-frail, 3 or more = frail.
What you enter
- Fatigue most of the time
- Resistance: difficulty climbing 10 stairs
- Ambulation: difficulty walking one block
- ≥ 5 illnesses
- Loss of > 5% weight
How this is calculated
- Items
- Fatigue, Resistance (one flight of stairs), Ambulation (one block), Illnesses (≥ 5 of 11), and Loss of weight (> 5%) — one point each, 0–5.
