1. A frailty diagnosis apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
a physical performance meter comprising at least one among a gait speed meter for measuring a gait speed of a target person, a body balance meter for measuring a body balance maintenance time of the target person, and a muscle strength meter for measuring a muscle exercise time of the target person; and
a processor configured to predict a frailty index of the target person based on physical performance of the target person obtained by the physical performance meter,
wherein the body balance meter comprises a body balance measurement platform comprising four or more pressure sensors and determines a duration of a pressure caused by the target person upon the pressure sensors as a body balance maintenance time.
