Ah, such scoring systems feel like far-off city medicine. Frailty scoring is a way doctors measure an elder's vulnerability, using tools like Fried's five criteria (weight loss, weakness, exhaustion, slowness, low activity) or the Clinical Frailty Scale from 1 (very fit) to 9 (terminally ill). But here, our elders are simply "strong" or "needing help"—we know by who can still tend to the cardamom plants after monsoon. My baba was "fit" by our measure until his fall, yet a city doctor might have scored him frail long before.
