Describe frailty and associated factors in breast cancer survivors Cross-sectional descriptive School of nursing 216 breast cancer survivors (BCS) aged 53–87 not currently participating in exercise Performance tests, clinical measures, and self-reported questionnaires provided baseline data analyzed for this study Frailty was defined as meeting 3 of the 5 criteria of the Frailty Phenotype: shrinking, exhaustion, low activity, slowness, and weakness. Data were compared to published data from women in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) and Women’s Health and Aging Study (WHAS). 18% of BCS aged 70–79 were frail, compared to 11% of CHS and WHAS women aged 70–79. Frailty was more common at a younger age in BCS and more BCS were frail in all age groups compared to CHS women until approximately age 80 when prevalence of frailty was similar in the two groups. 50% of BCS were classified as prefrail because they met 1–2 of the 5 frailty criteria. Higher body mass index increased the odds of frailty and higher physical activity decreased the odds of frailty (OR= 1.12, p=.003 and OR=.99, p=.000 respectively). Frailty and prefrailty may be common in BCS and may occur at an earlier age than in adults without a history of cancer.
