The most well known of these is Fried et al. 's frailty phenotype identifying someone as frail when they meet ≥3 of 5 criteria (unintentional weight loss of 10 lbs or more in past year, self reported exhaustion, weak grip strength, slow walking speed and low physical activity) [24].
He emphasized the second "very" just as he would have in telling me a story when I was a child, but now I was a grown-up woman and he himself was a very, very old man, his huge, familiar hands frail but forcefully gripping the table where we sat, in the dark-panelled dining room of the Century Club.
Their esprit de corps is frail, and Thomas's grip on his job could be shaky if the team comes home on a six-game losing streak.
Size and weight of the tokens have been adapted to the grip abilities of frail elderly.
Hand grip strength was slightly lower in frail men compared with non-frail men, but the difference was not statistically significant (31.3 vs. 35.0 kg, p = 0.317).
The inverse relationship between the C allele and grip strength persisted after excluding frail participants, indicating that the mt204 association with grip strength was not solely a product of its association with frailty (Table S4).
Participants with three or more of the following characteristics: self-reported exhaustion, low weight, low physical activity, low walking speed and low grip strength were classified as frail [ 7].

Grip strength comparisons were repeated after excluding frail participants.
The presence of an association in the absence of frail participants strongly suggests that the mt204 association with grip strength is not a consequence of its association with frailty.
