- Abstract
Frailty, in association with aging and chronic disorders, is a key predictive factor of the quality of life and accelerating aging, which contributes to disability and, therefore, has important social-economic implications. The frailty nosological specific features outline to elderly people must be emphasized with its correlative specificities. Without considering a gold standard, we consider that it is useful to make a few clear delimitations and correlations of various frailty concepts and of assessment methods and biomarkers that help easy identify fragile patients. Frailty is a result of the decreasing quality of life in the elderly, that could be prevented, postponed or even improved by well-defined multi-factorial interventions.
