Abstract
Although geriatric research in general has increased in recent years, there is no effective treatment for frailty. Among older adults, those with frailty have an increased risk of falls, disability, and death. The population of older adults has increased rapidly in China, and resulting in an increased demand for medical care services for older adults, including those with frailty. However, much of the research on frailty has been conducted in Europe and the United States, and European and American standards for frailty are not always applicable to Chinese individuals. Clinicians and researchers in China have shown increasing interest in frailty in recent years. Here, we reviewed the current state of frailty research in China.
