| Popis: | Frailty syndrome (FS) and cognitive impairment are associated with an increased risk of falls, disability, hospitalization and death. We investigated prognostic meaning of FS and cognitive impairment in persons ≥ 65 years, living in 2 nursing homes. Information about the health status of patients was gathered from history, medical documentation, test assessing FS, according to the Canadian Study of Health and Aging-Clinical Frailty Scale (CSHA-CFS) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The study group included 66 women and 20 men, between 66 and 101 years of age (mean ± S.D.=83.8 ± 8.3 years).
