title: [Cerebrovascular disease].
abstract: The present article presents correlations of frailty associated functional changes in older patients with the development and progression of cerebrovascular disease (CVD). Special focus is drawn on the impact of well established risk factors for the development of CVD such as diabetes, hypertension and smoking on frailty markers especially in the light of functional recovery following an acute cerebrovascular event.
