[General practitioners' satisfaction after a geriatric assessment into primary care: data from FAP study].

Unlabelled: In response to demographic challenges, primary care need to get familiar with the concept of frailty and the early detection of cognitive impairment. The « Frailty and Alzheimer's disease prevention into primary care » (FAP) project introduced a geriatric evaluation with a nurse in primary care in order to assess older patients. Our work aimed to evaluate the general practitioner's (GPs) opinion involved in FAP project.

Patients' satisfaction after a geriatric assessment into primary care: data from FAP study.

Methods: We performed a descriptive study from 1st June to 30th August 2016, including all patients admitted in the department of geriatric post emergency of the university hospital of Toulouse with a prescription of PPI.

Nutrition, Frailty, Cognitive Frailty and Prevention of Disabilities with Aging.

Older adults can be categorized into three subgroups to better design and develop personalized interventions: the disabled (those needing assistance in the accomplishment of basic activities of daily living), the 'frail' (those presenting limitations and impairments in the absence of disability) and the 'robust' (those without frailty or disability). However, despite evidence linking frailty with a poor outcome, frailty is not implemented clinically in most countries. Since many people are not identified as frail, their treatment is frequently inappropriate in health care settings.
