A misstep, a fall, can pose an acute threat to older people. Can the risk of falling or frailty be recognized earlier to avoid suddenly becoming a case for geriatrics? Are the possibilities of modern geriatric medicine known to the population, at least to the target group and their relatives?
To “end up” in geriatrics is a daunting prospect. Today we want to approach this step by step. The starting point is the current international study which investigated the connection between frailty and the occurrence of dementia.
