Abstract: Frailty can be defined as a decrease in functions, physical and physiological disabilities, causing physical and emotional dependence in the individual, which may progress to death, with the possibility of also being associated with hospitalizations, falls, and in some cases, a poor prognosis after some type of of surgery. In addition, frailty is conceptualized as an imbalance of systems causing a change in mood, cognition and functionality.
