Association of functional impairment and frailty with the frequency of hospitalizations between sexes in a population aged 60+ years
The coexistence of functional dependence and frailty is associated with a greater number of hospitalizations in older male and female adults. This is relevant because frailty can be avoided by implementing promotional and preventive interventions of active aging and at the same time, it is potentially reversible with an early detection and adequate measures such as physical activity, diet, and cognitive training.
