This study aims to (1) compare the assessment outcome of the ICOPE-I and ICOPE-S, and (2) investigate the correlation between both versions of the ICOPE step 1 screening tools and frailty in Taiwan.
The prevalence of frailty among the elderly increases annually as the population ages. The World Health Organization (WHO) has introduced the Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) framework, which aims to support healthy aging by evaluating the intrinsic capacity (IC) of the elderly in six different areas. In Taiwan, two versions of the ICOPE step 1 screening tools are available: an interview-based version (ICOPE-I) and a self-administered version (ICOPE-S) based on the WHO's model. There are two main models for frailty status assessments: Dr. Fried's phenotype of frailty and Dr. Rockwood's accumulation of deficit models. A comparative study is necessary to assess the consistency of both versions of ICOPE in Taiwan and their associations with frailty.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decline ICOPE group | The elderly individuals who have at least one impairment in ICOPE screening domains. |
| |
| Non-decline ICOPE group | The elderly individuals who do not have any impairment in ICOPE screening domains. |

| Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) | Behavioral | MoCA would be used to assess participants cognitive functioning. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Intrinsic capacity | ICOPE screening tool (self-administration and interview version) would be used to evaluate the intrinsic capacity(IC), including cognitive decline, auditory and visual capabilities, mobility restrictions, nutritional status, and depressive symptoms) of the participants. Each question requires a binary response, either 'yes' or 'no'. A "total score" will be determined by summing the number of IC impairments, which have a score range of 0-6, with higher scores indicating a greater degree of impairment. | The ICOPE screening tool assessment would take about 10 minutes |
| Phenotype of frailty status | Frailty criteria by Dr. Fried would be used to evaluate the frail status of the participants.The Dr. Fried phenotype of frailty comprises five components, unintentional weight loss, exhaustion, weakness, slowness, and low activity. Individuals who exhibit three or more indicators are classified as frail, those with one to two indicators are categorized as pre-frail, and those with no indicators are characterized as robust. | The phenotype of frailty status assessment would take about 10 minutes |
| Accumulated frailty status | Edmonton frail scale(EFS) would be used to evaluate the frail status of the participants. EFS assesses a wide range of nine domains through 11 questions. These domains cover cognition, general health status, functional independence, social support, medication use, nutrition, mood, continence, and functional performance. The total score of EFS ranges from 0 to 17, where scores of 0-5 indicate not being frail, 6-7 indicate being vulnerable, 8-9 indicate mild frailty, 10-11 indicate moderate frailty and 12-17 indicate severe frailty. | The accumulated frailty status assessment would take about 10 minutes |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Cognitive status | MoCA would be used to evaluate the cognitive functioning of the participants. MOCA comprises attention and concentration, executive function, memory, language ability, visuospatial construction, abstract concepts, calculation, and orientation. The cumulative score amounts to 30 points, with a minimum standard of 26 points or higher. 25-18 points indicate mild cognitive impairment, 17-10 points indicate moderate cognitive impairment, fewer than 10 points indicate severe cognitive impairment. |
