- Abstract
Regardless of the nature of its operationalization, frailty has significant negative consequences for the person concerned and the community. Even if a generally accepted definition of frailty is still missing, there is no doubt about the existence of this phenomenon. Pathophysiologically, a dysfunctional interaction between multiple complex systems is discussed. Therapeutic interventions show that frailty is a dynamic state that can be improved. The pathophysiological characteristics of frailty and sleep disturbances show numerous similarities. In addition, the risk of frailty is increased in individuals with sleep disturbances. As the majority of sleep disorders can usually be well treated, screening for sleep disorders should be integrated into a comprehensive concept of management of frailty.
