总结和整合了十年来对不同老年人群身体虚弱的研究结果。虽然大部分的文献集中在慢性和急性疾病的身体和功能的后果，我们强调身体虚弱的心理社会和行为方面。我们的方法的基本假设是，疾病和残疾的心理表征，以及它们发生的社会背景，是它们对患者和家庭成员的影响的重要决定因素。我们专注于患者和他们的主要支持者，并对不同的残疾条件进行比较分析。病人和家庭照顾者的影响模型是用来总结我们的研究计划的主要结果，并提出建议的干预研究。
Findings from a decade of research on physical frailty in diverse elderly populations are summarized and integrated. While much of the literature focuses on the physical and functional consequences of chronic and acute illness, we emphasize the psychosocial and behavioral aspects of physical frailty. The underlying assumption of our approach is that the psychological representation of illness and disability, as well as the social contexts in which they occur, are important determinants of their impact on patients and family members. We focus on both patients and their primary support persons and on the comparative analysis of different disabling conditions. A patient and family caregiver impact model is used to summarize major findings of our research program and to make recommendations for intervention research.
