As people age, the prevalence of frailty, multimorbidity, and polypharmacy increases, presenting significant challenges in geriatric medicine. These three elements are interrelated in a bidirectional manner, forming what can be termed the "geriatric triangle." The complexity of their interconnections means that addressing each issue in isolation is insufficient for achieving an effective resolution. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of this geriatric triangle is essential for appropriate geriatric management. This review aims to illuminate the relationships within the geriatric triangle and to offer insights into potential strategies for managing these interconnected challenges.

随着人们年龄的增长,衰弱、多种疾病并存和多重用药的发生率不断上升,给老年医学带来了重大挑战。这三个因素以双向方式相互关联,形成了所谓的“老年三角”。它们相互联系的复杂性意味着孤立地解决每个问题不足以实现有效解决。因此,全面了解这个老年三角对于适当的老年管理至关重要。本综述旨在阐明老年三角内的关系,并为应对这些相互关联的挑战提供潜在策略的见解。《老年医学与老年学国际杂志》2025年;25: 657 - 662。
