Abstract

Background\ud \ud frailty is a dynamic condition for which a range of interventions are available. Health state utilities are values that represent the strength of an individual’s preference for specific health states, and are used in economic evaluation. This is a topic yet to be examined in detail for frailty. Likewise, little has been reported on minimally important difference (MID), the extent of change in frailty status that individuals consider to be important.\ud \ud \ud Objectives\ud \ud to examine the relationship between frailty status, for both the frailty phenotype (FP) and frailty index (FI), and utility (preference-based health state), and to determine a MID for both frailty measures.\ud \ud \ud Design and setting\ud \ud population-based cohort of community-dwelling Australians.\ud \ud \ud Participant\ud \ud in total, 874 adults aged ≥65 years (54% female), mean age 74.4 (6.2) years.\ud \ud \ud Measurements\ud \ud frailty was measured using the FP and FI. Utilities were calculated using the short-form 6D health survey, with Australian and UK weighting applied. MID was calculated cross-sectionally.\ud \ud \ud Results\ud \ud for both the FP and FI, frailty was significantly statistically associated (P
