Summary
This study looks at whether simply counting daily steps can help doctors measure frailty in older adults (65+) who are in the hospital. Researchers will track 120 patients' upright time and step counts, then compare these to standard frailty scores and health outcomes like readmission or discharge to a care facility. The goal is to find a cheap, easy way to spot frailty without special equipment.
