title: Frailty, Exercise and Nutrition.
abstract: This article first reports the spontaneous course of frailty conditions, and then focuses on randomized, controlled frailty interventions (such as physical exercise, nutrition, combined exercise plus nutrition, and multifactorial interventions) or metaanalysis in community-dwelling older adults or volunteers published in 2012, 2013, and 2014. The main take-home messages that emerge from recent literature are summarized.
