Prevalence of Frailty in Older Community‐Dwelling Tanzanians According to Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment

Abstract

This is the first study in sub-Saharan Africa to report the prevalence of frailty in community-dwelling older adults according to a CGA. The strengths of reporting frailty according to a CGA include the ability to consider likely medical diagnoses based on clinical assessment and to assess individuals' social circumstances and environment.
