Educational strategies to train health care professionals across the education continuum on the process of frailty prevention and frailty management: a systematic review.

Background: In addition to the normal process of ageing, frailty, defined as a geriatric syndrome, is becoming more prevalent. Around 10% of people over 65 years and 25-50% of those aged over 85 years are frail. Frail elderly are more vulnerable to external stressors and have an increased risk of adverse health outcomes.
