SF-36 Physical Component Summary score is associated with incident frailty in humans (Bottom versus top quartile of PCS; FFP-defined frailty at older ages) (HR 2.39, 95% CI 1.85–3.07).

SF-36 Physical Component Summary score is linked with a lower risk of mortality in humans (incident lung cancer) (-16% hazard of death (p < 0.0001)).
“An above average physical or mental component summary score was associated with 16 and 24% decreases in the hazard of death, respectively (p < 0.0001).”
