Frailty is a clinical syndrome in older adults characterized by heightened vulnerability to adverse outcomes, yet it remains under-assessed in routine practice due to time-intensive evaluation methods. Wearable accelerometers offer a promising approach for passive, continuous frailty monitoring. We analyzed data from 151 community-dwelling older adults ([≥]65 years) in the FACE Aging Study who wore hip accelerometers for seven days. Machine learning models were developed to classify baseline ...
