Abstract

Due to the exponential growth of the aging population, the concept of frailty cannot be ignored anymore in the field of rheumatology.1 Frailty is a common geriatric syndrome and although no consensus definition has been developed, frailty is generally characterized as a "decline in functioning across multiple organs systems accompanied by an increased vulnerability to stressors."2.
