Update on the Detection of Frailty in Older Adults
Sponsor: Universidad Europea de Madrid
Summary
The main objective is to update the diagnostic assessment of frailty by correlating several variables with the ultrasound image of the frail elderly patient. Secondarily, the investigators intend to collect and analyze data on functional capacity and quality of life variables on the evolution of musculoskeletal symptoms, as well as on pain and psychological variables. Similarly, it is intended to make a record of different profiles and subtypes of frail older adult patients to be stored in Machine Learning in order to establish therapeutic intervention plans that allow both the evaluation and treatment of patients.

Instrumental and Functional Tests that Assess Functional Capacity
The correlation between all functional, ultrasound, nutritional, and psychological variables will be analyzed. Through GLIM diagnosis, anthropometric data (weight, height, BMI) as well as analytical data including inflammation information (CRP and albumin) will be used to reach a diagnosis that allows comparison/correlation with the rest of the variable parameters.
