The 25‐item Kihon Checklist (KCL) is the official self‐administered questionnaire tool to screen frail older adults, consisting of seven categories: physical strength, nutritional status, oral function, houseboundness, cognitive function, depression risk and a score of more than 9 out of 1–20 items. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationships between each category of the KCL and newly certified cases under the Long‐Term Care Insurance (LTCI) in Japan during 24 months.

Characteristics of meaningful activities in community-dwelling Japanese older adults with pre-frailty and frailty.
Changes in Kihon Checklist items and new Certification of long-term care needs among Japanese community-dwelling elders
TLDR
Identifying KCL changes among people at risk could help prevent or delay their need for long-term care, and improving cognitive function among the old-old possibly reduced the risk of new Certification.

Self-Reported Cognitive Frailty Predicts Adverse Health Outcomes for Community-Dwelling Older Adults Based on an Analysis of Sex and Age

TLDR
Frail community-dwelling older adults had a higher risk of requiring the LTCI system’s care-needs certification and the subsequent total LTCi costs, and individual frailty components were also associated with higher total costs for using L TCI services.

Cognitive Decline Predicts Long-Term Care Insurance Requirement Certification in Community-Dwelling Older Japanese Adults: A Prospective Cohort Study
TLDR
Cognitive decline is an independent predictor of new LTCI requirement certifications and the severity of cognitive decline in elderly adults is positively associated with receiving an L TCI requirement certification in Japan.
[Validation of the Kihon Checklist for predicting the risk of 1-year incident long-term care insurance certification: the Ohsaki Cohort 2006 Study].
TLDR
All items and criteria used for screening frail elderly in the Kihon Checklist are useful for predicting the risk of incident long-term care insurance certification during a one-year period, however, the strength of the relation and accuracy for screening test were variable among items or domains, and criteria values could be improved.
[The validity of the "Kihon Check-list" as an index of frailty and its biomarkers and inflammatory markers in elderly people].
TLDR
The KCL items 1-20 can be used as a frailty index for Japanese elderly population and IL-6 and β(2)-MG are potential candidates for biomarkers of frailty.

TLDR
To investigate which category in the “Kihon Checklist” developed by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare can predict functional decline for community‐dwelling elderly people at a 2‐year follow up, a large number of the categories are investigated.

This study provides a potential standardized definition for frailty in community-dwelling older adults and offers concurrent and predictive validity for the definition, and finds that there is an intermediate stage identifying those at high risk of frailty.
