Frailty is a typical but not elusive condition affecting the older population, and it is often associated with disability and co-morbidity. It is mainly characterized by a high risk of adverse clinical outcomes, frequent hospitalizations, and a tendency to acute exacerbation of chronic conditions.
Fatigue, weight loss, reduced walking speed, and fall risk are some of the main symptoms that characterize this disorder. In the COVID-19 era, the impact of frailty in older people affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection is of growing interest, and risk factors, epidemiology, clinical features, and preventive measures in this setting are objects of study.
Authors are encouraged to submit papers on the diagnosis, management, and interaction between frailty and COVID-19 in older patients.
Research articles and systematic reviews are particularly encouraged.
