SUNFRAIL+ is a prospective observational cohort study aimed to carry out a multidimensional assessment of community-dwelling older adults, through an IT platform, which allows to connect the items of the SUNFRAIL frailty assessment tool with a cascading multidimensional in-depth assessment of the bio-psycho-social domains of frailty. It is a multicentric study. Seven centres will administer SUNFRAIL questionnaire to 100 older adults each and, according to the specific "alerts" triggered by the answers provided, older adults will be subjected to one or more validated in-depth tests in order to perform further diagnostic or dimensional evaluations.

Enrollment
700
Each Centre will administer SUNFRAIL frailty assessment tool to the enrolled older adults and, according to the specific "alerts" triggered by the answers provided, older adults will be subjected (at the same time or subsequently) to one or more validated in-depth tests (already included in the SUNFRAIL+ platform) in order to perform further diagnostic or dimensional evaluations. During the observation phase, subjects will be given different health promotion activities, depending on the assessment. During the follow-up phase, 6 months after enrolment, SUNFRAIL tool and in-depth tests will be administered again. In addition, during the follow up, the extent to which exposure to interventions has influenced the quality of life of older adults will be measured and the number of users enrolled by territorial services, based on user care needs. In addition, the level of satisfaction and usability of the SUNFRAIL+ solution by health and social care professionals will be measured.
