This scoping review aimed to map out the empirical evidence on the prevalence, associated risk factors, and mea- sures of frailty among older people in Malaysia. This scoping review is guided by the methodological framework suggested by Arksey and O’Malley. Literature searches were conducted on academic journals published from 2010 to 2020 (Malaysian studies only). Ten studies were included in this review from 1778 papers screened from the electronic databases. Frailty prevalence was found in the range of 5.7% to 56.5%, whereas pre-frailty was 57.9% to 72.8%. Associated risk factors of frailty can be categorized into body impairments, activity limitations, and personal factors. The most commonly used measure is based on Fried’s Phenotype Model, however, the procedure for each criterion varied. The findings of the scoping review highlighted the gaps regarding the risk factors and inconsistencies in the measure of frailty.
