Knowledge about frailty among patients seen by general practitioners (GP) is currently limited.
Frailty assessment by the criteria of Fried and additional documentation was performed at a GP's office.
Out of 119 participating patients, 14.3% were classified as frail, 52.1% as prefrail, and 33.6% as not frail. Frailty was associated with comorbidity, the number of drugs prescribed, depressive symptoms, cognitive function, and frequency of falls.
The prevalence of frailty is high among the cohort of elderly persons seen by a GP. Routine frailty assessment will help to direct preventive and therapeutic interventions.
全科医生（GP）所诊治患者中关于衰弱的知识目前有限。
在全科医生办公室依据弗里德标准及其他记录进行衰弱评估。
119名参与患者中，14.3%被分类为衰弱，52.1%为衰弱前期，33.6%为非衰弱。衰弱与共病、所开药物数量、抑郁症状、认知功能及跌倒频率相关。
在全科医生诊治的老年人群队列中衰弱患病率较高。常规衰弱评估将有助于指导预防和治疗干预。
