It was aimed to evaluate the relationship between frailty and inflammation in people receiving home health care. It was a cross-sectional study. Edmonton Frail Scale was used to determine the level of frailty and, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio were used to determine inflammation. Of 332 people included in the study, 54.82% were females and 45.18% were males. Participants’ ages were between 65 and 106. When we examined the frailty of the participants according to the Edmonton Frail Scale, the mean score was 9.403 ± 2.032. The mean neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio of the participants were 4,397±5,038 and 169,363±101,461 respectively. Accordingly, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio was high in men, frail elderly, 75–84 age range, hypertension patients, malnutrition patients; and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio was low in diabetes mellitus, dementia, cerebrovascular accident and hemiplegia. Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, another inflammatory marker, was high in men, non-frail elderly, 75–84 age range, hypertension patients and cerebrovascular accident patients; it was low in hemiplegia, malnutrition, dementia, diabetes mellitus. In the study, no statistically significant difference was found between Edmonton Frail Scale and inflammatory markers. More studies are needed on this subject. In addition, we think that examining NLR and PLR values will be useful for monitoring inflammation in frail elderly.
