About This Measure

Frailty Self-Assessment

This self-assessment uses the Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI), an established measure assessing physical, psychological, and social frailty. The TFI has been used in international ageing research and has demonstrated good measurement properties in several populations.

Research among community-dwelling adults aged 50 years and older in Saudi Arabia has found evidence supporting the factor structure and measurement invariance of the adapted 15-item TFI, supporting its use in the Saudi population. This is reported in the study: Evaluating the factor structure and measurement invariance of the Tilburg Frailty Index among community-dwelling older people in Saudi Arabia.
