“…Previous studies that have established a link between frailty and fractures have utilized measures which categorize individuals into discrete categories (i.e., frail/pre-frail/nonfrail) [9][10][11][12]14]. In cohorts which utilized the frailty phenotype [5,9,12,14] or a simplified version [10,11], individuals classified as frail versus nonfrail had greater risk of incident hip and/or nonvertebral fractures.…”

“…In cohorts which utilized the frailty phenotype [5,9,12,14] or a simplified version [10,11], individuals classified as frail versus nonfrail had greater risk of incident hip and/or nonvertebral fractures. In contrast, a study which utilized a nine-item measure similar to the frailty phenotype did not find a significant association between frailty/nonfrailty status and fractures [15].…”

“…Frailty has been linked with increased fracture risk in older adults [9][10][11][12][13][14]. However, previous studies have largely assessed frailty utilizing the frailty phenotype [12,14] or modified versions [9][10][11]15], all of which categorize individuals into discrete frail/nonfrail categories.…”

Correspondence to: C. C. Kennedy. Our results indicated that at any age, frailty was an important independent risk factor for fracture over 10 years. Conflicts of interestIntroduction-In later life, frailty has been linked to fractures. It is likely that the antecedents of fracture are seen across the life course, in ways not entirely captured by traditional osteoporosis risk factors. Using data collected from the prospective, population-based Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study (CaMos), we created the 30-item CaMos Frailty Index and examined whether it was associated with incident fractures over 10 years.

Heart failure (HF) is at present an important clinical problem. Hospitalization of HF patients causes that they have a much less favorable prognosis, and their successive rehospitalizations significantly affect the course of the disease and further treatment. The main reason for readmission to hospital is HF exacerbation, which from the pathophysiological point of view is associated with an elevated pressure in the pulmonary circulation. Factors affecting rehospitalization can be divided into: cardiac-related factors such as ischemia, atrial fibrillation, and uncontrolled hypertension, non-cardiac factors including coexisting diseases (especially chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, infections), patient--related factors (nonadherence/noncompliance, self-care, frailty-syndrome, depression, cachexia) and healthcare system-related factors (nonadherence of physicians, therapeutic nihilism, insufficiency of interdisciplinary care system in the field of patients' therapy and education). Rehospitalization of HF patients is a complex, multifactorial and not fully understood problem. An integrated interdisciplinary care system, which covers patients' therapy, education, self--assessment and self-control may reduce the mortality rate and number of rehospitalizations for all reasons and for HF.
