Abstract
Recently, a condition called senile frailty or fragility has become more common in people over 65 years of age. The condition is also noticeable in people under the age of 65, but it is not so common. Elderly frailty is a slow decrease in the capacity of a number of organ systems. This leads to loss of muscle mass, abnormal functioning of the inflammatory and hormonal system and weakening of energy regulation. Due to the reduced capacity, the organism is no longer able to cope with excessive demands. Once senile frailty is manifested, the organism often decays rapidly. It is a condition that causes concern, above all, in family members.
