Deficit Index (DI)
A set of utilities for calculating the Deficit (frailty) Index (DI) in gerontological studies. The deficit index was first proposed by Arnold Mitnitski and Kenneth Rockwood and represents a proxy measure of aging and also can be served as a sensitive predictor of survival. For more information, see (i) "Accumulation of Deficits as a Proxy Measure of Aging" by Arnold B. Mitnitski et al. (2001), doi:10.1100/tsw.2001.58; (ii) "Frailty, fitness and late-life mortality in relation to chronological and biological age" by Arnold B Mitnitski et al.
