John Hopkins Frailty Assessment Calculator

The Johns Hopkins Frailty Assessment Calculator is a validated, evidence-based tool designed to assess frailty in older adults. It uses five standardised clinical measurements:

  1. Unintentional weight loss
  2. Weakness (grip strength)
  3. Exhaustion
  4. Low physical activity
  5. Slow walking speed

Based on these, the tool generates a score from 0 to 5, categorising individuals as:

  • Robust (score 0)
  • Pre-frail (score 1–2)
  • Frail (score 3–5)

You can access the calculator directly via: Johns Hopkins Frailty Calculator
