摘要
Frailty refers to a state of vulnerability in older persons for adverse outcomes. The recent assumption that frailty, disability, and comorbidity are distinct concepts creates possibilities for interventions that focus on delaying the onset of disabilities. However, disagreement exists on the definition of frailty and the factors contributing to it. This article presents an overview of the discussion about the concept of frailty, of intervention research, and instruments to identify frail elderly, and discusses the implications for the fields of occupational and physical therapy.
