Women
CDC	0.13	0.98	0.68	0.75
GDC	0.42	0.98	0.75	0.91
Loss of one Katz’s ADL	0.44	0.94	0.44	0.94

Men
CDC	0.20	0.99	0.73	0.87
GDC	0.46	0.99	0.60	0.98
Loss of one Katz’s ADL	0.28	0.95	0.33	0.95

Frailty was defined as the presence of at least three criteria of the Frailty Phenotype CDC: disability in complex activities; GDC: global functional disability; PPV: positive predictive value; NPV: negative predictive value.
