Accounting for frailty when treating chronic diseases
2018, European Journal of Internal MedicineCitation Excerpt :In addition, the frailty index proposed by Rockwood et al., which is based on a combination of different deficits, primarily includes chronic diseases as a criterion [9]. As chronic diseases have such a strong role in determining frailty, it could be hypothesized that treating these conditions may, in turn, counteract the development of frailty, eventually reducing any associated negative consequences [10]. However, the hypothesis that intensive treatment of chronic diseases might reduce the progression of frailty is poorly supported by existing studies.

2016, European Journal of Internal MedicineCitation Excerpt :However, it might be necessary to reconsider the name of the condition in order to avoid confusion, because physical frailty is usually (perhaps too much) associated with the frailty phenotype. Another initiative worth to be mentioned is surely the new Joint Action on Frailty (ADVANTAGE), funded by the European Commission in the context of the EU Health Programme 2014–2020 [97]. The project involves institutions from more than 20 European Union member states.
