Screening for Pre-Frailty Using Phase Angle Derived from Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
PhA is associated with physical function and may serve as a simple, non-invasive indicator for identifying pre-frailty in community settings. However, given its modest discriminative ability, PhA alone may not be sufficient as a standalone screening tool and should be used in combination with other clinical indicators for clinical application.
