Resumo: | <p><b>INTRODUCTION:</b> The diagnosis of frailty in complex and difficult. The phenotype of Fried is a tool used to classify the elderly according to his or her profile of frailty.

After application of the phenotype, the elderly were classified as frail, pre-frail and non-frail, initially using the cutoff points used by Fried <i>et al.</i> (2001) in CHS. After that, they were reclassified using cutoffs adjusted by samples percentil 20, for grip strength, physical activity level and slow gait speed.
