Just seen another paper published on oral #frailty . I am wondering when we will get to a "feet frailty", a "digestive frailty", or a "friendship frailty"... 😆

This is nonsense to me.

Geriatric medicine should avoid constructs that, rather than providing a person-centred approach, promote a partial/fragmented evaluation of the individual.
