Table 1.

Criteria in our modified version compared to the original Fried phenotype model

Component Modified version Original Fried version
Exhaustion Feeling constantly fatigued for more than one week before the stroke Everything was an effort ≥3 days the last week
Low physical activity Engaging in exercise/ physical activities less than once a week before the stroke Kilocalories expended per week – lowest quintilea
Weight loss Unintentional weight loss of ≥3.0 kg the last 6 months before the stroke Unintentional loss of ≥4.5 kg OR ≥ 5% of body weight the last year
Slow gait speed- Gait test, 4 m Duration ≥6 s OR not able

Duration ≥6 s (women ≥ 159 cm; men > 173 cm)

Duration ≥7 s (women < 159 cm; men < 173 cm)

Weak grip strength – Jamar® dynamometer Best measure on strongest hand, using value-sets by Fried et al.b OR not able Best measure on dominant hand, using value-sets by Fried et al.b

Kcals Kilocalories; BMI Body mass index

a Men < 383 Kcals/week; Women < 270 Kcals/week

b Limits by Fried: Women: BMI ≤ 23.0 or missing BMI, ≤ 17.0 kg; BMI 23.1–26.0, ≤ 17.3 kg; BMI 26.1–29.0, ≤ 18.0 kg; BMI > 29.0, ≤ 21.0 kg;

Men: BMI ≤ 24.0 or missing BMI, ≤ 29.0 kg; BMI 24.1–28.0, ≤ 30.0 kg; BMI > 28, ≤ 32.0 kg
