Validity of a video-analysis-based app to detect prefrailty or frailty plus sarcopenia syndromes in community-dwelling older adults: Diagnostic accuracy study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Sarcopenia and frailty have been associated with an increased risk of suffering health-related adverse events but the combination of both conditions results in worse health-related outcomes than either condition alone. Since both syndromes are reversible states, their early detection is fundamental. This study aims to validate a video analysis-based App to detect the presence of frailty or prefrailty plus sarcopenia syndromes and to analyze its construct validity with health-related risk factors.

Methods

A total of 686 community-dwelling older adults (median-age: 72, 59% female) were enrolled. Muscle power generated during a sit-to-stand test using the App and calf circumference were considered the index test. The reference standards were the EWGSOP2 criteria (fiv
