title: Only death and taxes.
abstract: Most people who work in aged care have a fair idea of what is meant by cognitive impairment or decline, and we have some moderately robust instruments for detecting it and measuring change over time. Frailty is much more difficult to define, but like hard core pornography (Stewart, 1964), many of us "know it when we see it."
