Frailty is a state of critical loss of physiological complexity resulting in greater vulnerability to stressors and has been characterized as a debility syndrome in the older adult. Changes in functional capacity and the cardiovascular system during aging are the most significant and relevant for this population, including the clinically healthy. In this sense, this review aims to investigate methods to monitor the performance of older adults, such as heart rate variability and verify how it can be related to frailty. It contributes to understanding that the changes in heart variability can be a marker for frailty in older adults.
衰弱是一种生理复杂性严重丧失的状态，导致对应激源的易感性增加，并且已被描述为老年人的一种虚弱综合征。衰老过程中功能能力和心血管系统的变化对该人群（包括临床健康人群）最为显著且具有相关性。从这个意义上讲，本综述旨在研究监测老年人身体机能的方法，如心率变异性，并验证其与衰弱的关系。这有助于理解心率变异性的变化可能是老年人衰弱的一个标志物。
