虚弱是一种以个体体内平衡储备减少为特征的临床状态，是对内源性和/或外源性压力源的易感性增强的原因。这种极度脆弱的状况使个人面临与健康有关的负面后果的风险增加。在文献中有多种关于脆弱性的可操作性定义，但没有一个可以作为黄金标准。虚弱应该被视为公共卫生的一个主要利益条件，并成为重塑目前无法充分满足老年人口临床需求的过时卫生保健系统的杠杆。
Frailty is a clinical state characterized by a decrease of an individual's homeostatic reserves and is responsible for enhanced vulnerability to endogenous and/or exogenous stressors. Such a condition of extreme vulnerability exposes individuals to an increased risk of negative health related outcomes. Multiple operational definitions of frailty are available in the literature, but none can be indicated as a gold standard. Frailty should be considered a condition of major interest for public health and become the lever for reshaping the obsolete health care systems currently unable to adequately address the clinical needs of aging populations.
