- Title
THE MEANING OF (SOCIAL-)MOBILITY AND FOODS IN FRAIL ELDERLY PEOPLE.
- Authors
VAN STAVEREN, W.; DE GROOT, L.
- Abstract
The authors focus on the issue of frailty in elderly people. Citing a paper by H. Bergman and colleagues, they note conflicting ideas about the definition of fraility, its diagnosis, and its relationship to aging, disability, and chronic disease. They differentiate between frailty and disability. They offer an overview of articles in the issue, which deal with nutrition and social engagement for older people.
