SummaryBoth frailty (reduced physiological reserve) and social vulnerability (scarcity of adequate social connections, support, or interaction) become more common as people age and are associated with adverse consequences. Analyses of the relationships between these constructs can be limited by the wide range of measures used to assess them.

AbstractContext: Frailty is a state in which physiological reserve is depleted across multiple systems, leading to an increased risk of decompensation in response to stressor events. Frailty is a risk factor for dementia and complicates its management. However, frailty is rarely reported in clinical trials for dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) which limits assessment of trial applicability.
