Abstract: Objective: To investigate the current status of frailty among elderly in community and to identify the influencing factors of frailty. Methods: A total of 683 elders in eight communities from two districts were recruited by convinience sampling method and investigated by the questionnaires and physical assessment. Results: The prevalence of robustness, pre-frailty, and frailty were 43.2%, 45.7%, and 11.1%, respectively with grip weakness and low physical activity as the main frailty problems.Male, increasing age, urinary incontinence, poorer self-report health, depression, cognitive impairment, and poor sleep quality entered the multiple logistic regression equation. Conclusions: The prevalence of frailty is worth drawing attention. The frailty of elders in community is influenced by many factors and we should take multifaceted interdisciplinary intervention.
