What is frailty and being “at risk” about?

Frailty is a condition of reduced function, strength and health due to chronic disease, aging, inactivity, poor nutrition, loneliness, social isolation, and/or multiple medications.

Acute Frailty Syndrome may lead you to be at risk of:

  • Falls, delirium (or acute confusion) and ‘off legs’.

  • Critical hospital and care home admission.

  • Unfortunate death.
