Both frailty and multimorbidity are strong predictors of clinical endpoints for older people. In Italy, the interventions targeting chronicity are mainly based on the treatment of diseases: sufficient epidemiological literature is available about these strategies. Less is known about the territorial distribution of the frailty status.
This study aimed at estimating the prevalence of frailty in older people (65+) and evaluating the relationship between frailty and multimorbidity.
