What this check is based on
Every score comes from a published, validated questionnaire that is free to use. We have not changed how any of them is scored.
- STEADI Stay Independent falls checklist (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
- FRAIL scale
- SARC-F
- OSTA (Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Asians)
The STEADI checklist comes from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and is in the public domain. The FRAIL scale and SARC-F were developed at Saint Louis University; the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (2019) recommends SARC-F for finding muscle loss. OSTA was developed for Asian women; a 2022 study of 5,356 Indian women supports its use in India.
These are screening tools. They point to what needs a closer look; they do not diagnose. The report is made on your device and is not sent to the hospital.
