  1. The probability of suffering a frailty-related adverse event during the follow-up period was modelled. Adverse event: death or loss of independence defined as ≥10 % drop in Barthel’s score compared to baseline, during the follow-up, 95 % CI: 95 % confidence interval. Polypharmacy: long-term prescription of ≥ 4 drugs. The model is based on n = 50 adverse events and n = 118 positive events due to 1 missing value in TUG test
