Self-care index (SPI, range 0–40), Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE, range 0–30), Barthel Index (range 0–100), Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA, range 0–30), Handgrip right-side (kg), Handgrip left-side(kg), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB, range 0–12), Clock drawing test (range 0–7), Frailty score according to Fried (Frailty-Fried, range 0–5) and Frailty score according to SHARE (Frailty-SHARE, range 0–5).

Chi-square test was used to compare female distribution between two groups. T-test was used to compare the age difference between two groups. Wilcoxon rank sum tests are used to compare geriatric assessment outcomes between two groups.
