    AbstractPopulation aging is associated with a greater use of social and health resources, associated with greater morbidity, mortality and disability in the elderly. Frailty is a geriatric syndrome prior to the onset of functional decline, which allows the identification of individuals at higher risk of dependency, institutionalization, adverse effects of drugs, mortality and other negative health events. This syndrome is potentially reversible with a multicomponent intervention. Primary health care is the preferred place for the diagnosis and follow-up of frailty, through scales such as the FRAIL scale, the Fried phenotype or deficit accumulation models. Follow-up requires the multidimensional and coordinated intervention of different health and social professionals, with the involvement of the patient and their family. Research should be encouraged to determine the most effective interventions and the most common clinical courses.Copyright © 2022 The Author(s). Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U.
