Despite a high prevalence, there is still a lack of frailty screening instruments specific to Chinese older adults. We developed a simple frailty screening questionnaire (FSQ) that could predict long-term mortality. We aimed to explore the reliability and construct validity of this new measurement tool. Methods A total of 205 individuals aged 65 years or older were recruited in this study. The FSQ and frailty phenotype were assessed. The FSQ included self-reported slowness, weakness, weight loss, inactivity, and exhaustion. A subgroup of 109 participants completed the FSQ a second time 2 weeks later for test-retest reliability. Frailty phenotype included slowness, exhaustion, weight loss, weakness, and inactivity. Results The intraclass correlation coefficient for the FSQ, slowness, weakness, weight loss, inactivity and exhaustion were 0.937, 0.938, 0.934, 0.921, 0.826, and 0.832, respectively. Using a cut-off of 3, the sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic were 52.6%, 93.5%, and 0.883 (p  less then  0.001), respectively. The kappa coefficient between the FSQ and frailty phenotype was 0.431 (p  less then  0.001). FSQ score was negatively correlated with walking speed and grip strength, and positively correlated with age. Frailty defined by the FSQ was associated with older age, chronic diseases, and worse physical function. Conclusions The FSQ is a potentially useful, reliable, and valid instrument in screening frailty in older adults, and can be recommended to identify frailty in clinical settings. © The Author(s), 2020.Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is characterized by chronic inflammation, a relapsing and remitting clinical course, requirement for lifelong medication and often, significant
