Frailty: An overview

Abstract

Ageing well is ‘everyone’s concern’. However, everyone who ages does not necessarily live with frailty, and frailty is no respecter of age. This article is part of a series unravelling frailty. We draw upon the latest thinking, evidence and policy to explore the nature of frailty, why frailty matters and how GP services are developing to meet the challenge to better support people living with frailty.
