This study aimed to clarify the relationship between frailty and the senses of sight, hearing, smell, and taste.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The subjects were outpatients at the Locomo Frail Outpatient Clinic. Sensory organ items were evaluated subjectively, and frailty was classified as nonfrail or frail using the Kihon Checklist. Univariate analysis was performed using the presence or absence of frailty as the dependent variable. Logistic regression analysis (forced entry method) was performed for the variables that showed significant differences.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 269 and 226 participants were assigned to the nonfrail and frail groups, respectively. The frequency of sensory organ impairment was 10.1% for taste, 12.7% for smell, 44.6% for vision, and 58.3% for hearing. Univariate analysis using the presence or absence of frailty as the dependent variable was determined to be significant for years of education, number of medications, Geriatric Depression Scale, Mini\u2010Mental State Examination, Mini Nutritional Assessment\u2013Short Form, grip strength, gait speed, sense of taste, sense of smell, sense of vision, and sense of hearing. Logistic regression analysis using the presence or absence of frailty as the dependent variable, adjusted for age, showed significant correlations with the Geriatric Depression Scale, gait speed, Mini Nutritional Assessment\u2013Short Form, and olfactory impairment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Olfactory impairment had the strongest correlation with frailty. Although the sense of smell decreases with disease and aging, olfactory impairment may be correlated with frailty as a symptom of neurodegenerative diseases. <jats:bold>Geriatr Gerontol Int 2023; 23:
