Learning Objectives

1. Define frailty as a distinct clinical syndrome, differentiating it from aging, multimorbidity, and disability
2. Recognize early clinical signs of frailty commonly encountered in primary care (e.g., weight loss, falls, fatigue, polypharmacy)

3. Apply brief, validated frailty screening tools, relevant to PCPs

4. Implement evidence-based interventions (exercise, nutrition, medication optimization, social support) to prevent or mitigate frailty
5. Integrate frailty assessment into routine care to inform preventive care, shared decision-making, and care transitions
