AbstractFrailty is an age-related condition characterized by increased vulnerability to negative outcomes. To enable informed decision-making and implementation of individually tailored practices for frailty management, it is necessary to develop screening tools that cover different domains of individual functioning, reliably predict future adverse outcomes and are generalizable to healthcare settings other than primary care. The Sunfrail Tool, an easy-to-use nine-item instrument, seems to meet all these requirements. The current study aimed to perform a cross-cultural adaptation of the Sunfrail Tool for the European Portuguese population and to perform the feasibility, appropriateness and meaningfulness analyses of the Sunfrail Tool Portuguese version.
