title: [The frailty process, risk factors and prevention].
abstract: The frailty process, risk factors and prevention. Frailty syndrome is a clinical condition which manifests itself by a gradual loss of functional capacities. It testifies to a state of exhaustion of the organism's reserves and is associated with high morbidity/mortality. Its prevention is based on functional and psycho-cognitive stimulation as well as on the maintaining of a good nutritional status.
