The first article in which said thesaurus heading appears is from 1953<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005">1</a>. From that year until 2003, fewer than 100 articles were indexed per year; since 2004, there have been more than 100 per year; since 2015, more than 1000 per year; and in 2022, there were a record 4772 articles. In total, there are 24,977 articles.The term “frailty” is ambiguous. There is no universal consensus on its definition except for what is indicated above, which is in the most recent publications. The same occurs with so-called “frailty syndrome”<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0010">2,3</a>.For a long time, the Fried et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020">4</a> criteria have and continue to be used. These criteria define frailty as a clinical syndrome in which three or more of the following criteria are present: unintentional weight loss (10lb (4.5kg) in the last year), self-reported exhaustion, weakness (grip strength), slow walking speed, and low physical activity. As the authors themselves indicate, the study provides a possible standardized definition of frailty in community-dwelling older adults and offers concurrent, predictive validity for the definition. In a study by Ramírez et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025">5</a>, the Fried criteria and the Edmonton Frail Scale are compared.In many situations, different studies establish intrinsic components and stress factors (called stressors in psychology, a term whose Spanish translation is not accepted in the Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy), which include the onset of multiple, concurrent chronic diseases in a single person, weakness, and finally, disability. They are usually related to older adults and those of advanced age, with the exception of other clinical situations that occur in young people such as the presence of hereditary degenerative and rare diseases.For years, various frailty scales with highly disparate psychological, physical, social, environmental, or lifestyle components have been developed in order to measure frailty and the condition of prefrailty. In a systematic review<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030">6</a> published in 2019, after screening 5604 articles found online, 96 were selected which referred to 49 frailty measurement instruments. The setting where they are administered was evaluated, which was mainly in the community and hospital. Among other points of evaluation, the authors included reliability, validity, and positive and negative predictive values.Some scales are unidimensional and others are multidimensional. The Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) is classified as a community scale and is multidimensional (it assesses the physical, psychological, and social domains). The FRAIL scale, which only evaluates the physical domain, is also classified as a “community” scale.In the 2006 study by Rolfson et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035">7</a> on the validity and reliability of the EFS, most patients came from the community: 43% lived at home without help and 42% lived at home with help, 14% received assistance, and 1% lived in a nursing home. The evaluations were also conducted in outpatients: 56% in specialized clinics; 4% in day hospitals, and in hospitalized patients: 22% in intensive care units and 18% in geriatric rehabilitation units.The FRAIL scale was also referenced by the authors of the study entitled Prevalencia y factores asociados a la fragilidad en pacientes mayores hospitalizados [Prevalence and factors associated with frailty in older hospitalized patients]<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040">8</a> published in this issue of the Revista Clínica Española. The work by Morley et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045">9</a> was conducted in the community setting among African Americans from 49 to 65 years of age, though it has also been validated in other studies on different populations. Therefore, in the article presented<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040">8</a>, two scales are used in the community setting with different domains in hospital care and with different prevalences of frailty: 57.4% according to the FRAIL scale and 46.8% according to the EFS.What are the consequences of this? 1) There is no single definition of frailty, frailty syndrome, or prefrailty. 2) Very different frailty measurement instruments are used in the studies published. 3) Data from one study cannot be compared to those from another as they use different measurements. 4) The prevalence of frailty has a highly variable range both due to its definition and the tool used to measure it<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050">10</a>. 5) Sociodemographic components should be incorporated into the different scales.Therefore, the current challenge is to create universal definitions of the different concepts and develop measurement instruments that can be compared and which include a sociodemographic component due to the differences that exist among countries and within single countries."
