Journal
Age and Ageing is an international journal publishing refereed original research, review articles and editorial pieces on geriatric medicine and clinical gerontology. Its scope includes applied and clinical research on human ageing and clinical, epidemiological and psychological aspects of later life, medical education and service improvement. We place particular emphasis on material which will be of immediate interest to clinicians. We rarely publish analyses of epidemiological studies where the clinical, health policy or educational implications are not clear. We do not publish in vitro or animal studies. Age and Ageing is the journal of the British Geriatrics Society, improving healthcare for older people. Source

Editor’s view-electronic frailty index 2: the sequel

| Age and Ageing Verified
Screening for frailty In the April edition, we publish the eagerly awaited development and validation of the electronic Frailty Index 2 (eFI2) model [1  https://doi.org/10.1093/ageing/afaf077]. Sequels are not usually as good as the original, but EFI2 promises to be an exception. The original EFI was remarkably influential, having been nationally integrated into primary care records throughout much of the United Kingdom as a means of identifying frailty from routinely collected data.
