What is the normal range for the frailty index?

The Frailty Index, based on the accumulation of health deficits, offers a quantitative assessment of an individual's overall health, with scores typically ranging from 0 to 1. Unlike other assessments, there is no single "normal" range, as the score inherently increases with age and the accumulation of health problems. However, in community-dwelling older adults, a score below 0.25 is generally considered an indicator of a low risk of frailty.
