Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
1. Objective:
* To investigate the prevalence of Frailty in community older residents.
* To explore the causes and risk factors of frailty.
2. Method:
* The survey is a Community-based, multicenter prospective cohort study.
1). 6,000 participants are expected to be included.
* Through a questionnaire and physical examination form, carries on the investigation to the more than 65 years old people during the 3-year follow-up period.

Syndrome differentiation of deficiency of the five zang-organs in TCM will be analyzed.
* Height and body weight will be measured for body mass index (BMI) calculation. The waist circumference and hip circumference will be recorded, and the ratios calculated. The muscle strengths of both hands will be measured with a hand dynamometer. Each of these measures will be assessed twice and the average score used in analyses.
* Subjects will be asked to walk a distance of 4 meters and record the time at the same time to measure the walking speed.
* Clock Drawing Test (CDT), physical frailty examination, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) will also be conducted or calculated .
* Each participant will provide a total of 7 mL of venous blood after an overnight fast (10-hour).
After being collected, markers of frailty will be measured, such as Interleukin-6 (IL-6), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and estrogen (E). And blood routine, urine routine, liver and kidney function, fasting plasma glucose, serum lipid will be detected.
* Physicians in each community as the backbone, Shanghai Geriatric Institute of Chinese Medicine is responsible for personnel training.
* Shanghai community health service centers are responsible for organization and coordination.
