Our Geriatric Oncology group in clinical oncology dept. In A C Camargo Cancer Center, SP, Brazil, is in search for sites willing to contribute in that field.
Dear Aldo Dettino,
Maybe you can use the Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI). This instrument is translated in Portuguese (Bra) and validated. See the attachment.
Best regards,

Hi Aldo
There is a scale developed in Canada that uses qualitative indicators rather than strict numbers:http://geriatricresearch.medicine.dal.ca/clinical_frailty_scale.htm
It seems fairly universal although I am not aware of the Brazilian literature and the differences between Brazil, Canada, and other countries.
Hope that helps.
Cheers
Paulie :)
Dear Aldo, we can contact my sister Dr. Suzele Fabricio-Wehbe who recently has validated the Edmonton frail scale:
