Resumen

Frail older adults often behave as complex systems that are close to failure. Determination of frailty, through the use of a frailty phenotype or a frailty index, can help to target those at greatest risk for adverse outcomes, including functional decline. This chapter explores the concept of frailty and discusses how to measure and prevent functional decline in this population.
