Abstrakt:	Frailty is common among cardiac patients; however, frailty assessment data from patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are limited. The purpose of this observational study was to identify the prevalence and factors related to frailty in addition to unique frailty marker groupings in a cohort of sedentary adults with PAD. We grouped three PAD-relevant frailty characteristics using Fried's frailty phenotype -1) exhaustion, (2) weakness, and (3) slowness-and observed the prevalence of pre-frailty (1-2 characteristics) and frailty (3 characteristics) in the PAD cohort. Of the 106 participants, 34.9% were robust/non-frail, 53.8% were pre-frail, and 2.8% were frail. Exhaustion (33.3%) was the most occurring characteristic followed by weakness (20.0%) and slowness (5.0%). The grouping of weakness + slowness (10.0%) was the most prevalent followed by exhaustion + weakness (8.3%) and exhaustion + slowness (5.0%). Among pre-frail participants, ankle brachial index was correlated with a reduction in gait speed.
