Social Frailty in Older Adults: Proposal and Application of an Original Measurement Index
This multidimensional index allows for early identification of vulnerable older adults, supporting targeted interventions and public health planning. Further research is needed to standardize measurement criteria and to evaluate the predictive value of social frailty in relation to outcomes such as disability, multimorbidity, mortality, and quality of life.
