| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Patient health status prior and after 6 months of SGLT2i therapy through Frailty Index variation (FI) | From enrollment to 6 months | Patient health status prior and after 6 months of SGLT2i therapy through Frailty Index variation (FI). The FI is score measured by comparing the ratio of health deficits present within an individual to possible health deficits, using a pre-specified list of 30 or more deficits. Deficits included in the model will be collected during the visit trough questionnaires and clinical and biochemical evaluation |
