Table 2 Frailty components in the study population
From: Use of a wearable accelerometer to evaluate physical frailty in people receiving haemodialysis
Frailty components | Non-frail ( n = 37) | Frail ( n = 22) | |
|---|---|---|---|
Robust (n = 6) | Pre-frail (n = 31) | ||
Low gait speed (slowness) | n/a | 2 (6.5%) | 16 (72.7%) |
Low muscle strength (weakness) | n/a | 9 (29.0%) | 19 (86.4%) |
Low physical activity (inactivity) | n/a | 14 (45.2%) | 18 (81.8%) |
Poor endurance (exhaustion) | n/a | 22 (71.0%) | 21 (95.5%) |
Weight loss (shrinkage) | n/a | 3 (9.7%) | 8 (36.4%) |
