Factors contributing to differences in physical activity levels in (pre)frail older adults living in rural areas of China.

PloS one
INTRODUCTION: Physical Activity (PA) is essential for enhancing the physical function of pre-frail and frail older adults. However, among this group, PA-levels vary significantly. Identifying the factors contributing to these differences could suppor...

Advancing fall risk prediction in older adults with cognitive frailty: A machine learning approach using 2-year clinical data.

PloS one
Falls are a critical concern in older adults with cognitive frailty (CF). However, previous studies have not fully examined whether machine learning models can predict falls in older individuals with CF. The 2-year longitudinal data set from the Kore...

AI-driven scientometric analysis with recency insights: lower urinary tract symptoms in older and frail populations.

World journal of urology
PURPOSE: This artificial intelligence (AI)-driven scientometric analysis, conducted using the Mynd discovery platform, explores research trends in lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) among older patients. By applying its novel recency metric, the stu...

Development of an interpretable machine learning model for frailty risk prediction in older adult care institutions: a mixed-methods, cross-sectional study in China.

BMJ open
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate an interpretable machine learning (ML)-based frailty risk prediction model that combines real-time health data with validated scale assessments for enhanced decision-making and targeted health management in integrat...

The predictive role of identifying frailty in assessing the need for palliative care in the elderly: the application of machine learning algorithm.

Journal of health, population, and nutrition
BACKGROUND: Palliative care is a key component of integrated care to improve care quality and reduce hospitalization costs for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aims to use machine learning algorithms to create an...

Frailty identification using a sensor-based upper-extremity function test: a deep learning approach.

Scientific reports
The global increase in the older adult population highlights the need for effective frailty assessment, a condition linked to adverse health outcomes such as hospitalization and mortality. Existing frailty assessment tools, like the Fried phenotype a...

Machine Learning Models for Frailty Classification of Older Adults in Northern Thailand: Model Development and Validation Study.

JMIR aging
BACKGROUND: Frailty is defined as a clinical state of increased vulnerability due to the age-associated decline of an individual's physical function resulting in increased morbidity and mortality when exposed to acute stressors. Early identification ...

Risk prediction models for frailty in older adults: A systematic review and critical appraisal.

International journal of nursing studies
BACKGROUND: Frailty can lead to increased adverse health outcomes in older adults. Risk prediction models for frailty have benefits in guiding the prevention. Studies have increasingly focused on the development of risk prediction models for frailty ...

Development and Validation of a Machine Learning Method Using Vocal Biomarkers for Identifying Frailty in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Study.

JMIR medical informatics
BACKGROUND: The two most commonly used methods to identify frailty are the frailty phenotype and the frailty index. However, both methods have limitations in clinical application. In addition, methods for measuring frailty have not yet been standardi...

Predicting admission for fall-related injuries in older adults using artificial intelligence: A proof-of-concept study.

Geriatrics & gerontology international
AIM: Pre-injury frailty has been investigated as a tool to predict outcomes of older trauma patients. Using artificial intelligence principles of machine learning, we aimed to identify a "signature" (combination of clinical variables) that could pred...
