Description
Summary:[...]there were two other groups of people with diminished functional performance with worse health outcomes and high risk of negative events such as falls that, without actively looking for frailty, will remain unnoticed to their primary health care team. Secondary outcomes would include sociodemographic characteristics, health-related quality of life, nutritional status, and activity levels. Tailoring healthcare services to meet the needs of an ageing population will have wide-ranging benefits, from an individual level to broader social, financial, and economic areas.
