Objective:To analyze the prevalence of falls and frailty syndrome and the association between these two syndromes in the elderly population. Method: Systematic review, without restriction of dates, in English, Portuguese and Spanish languages, in the databases PubMed, CINAHL, LILACS and in the SciElo virtual library. The association between both variables was extracted from the studies (Odds Ratio and 95% Confidence Intervals). Results: The review included 19 studies published between 2001 and 2015. The prevalence of falls in the frail elderly population was between 6.7% and 44%; in the pre-frail, between 10.0% and 52.0%, and in the non-frail, between 7.6% and 90.4%. The association between both variables presented a value of OR 1.80 (95% CI 1.51-2.13). Conclusion: There is evidence that falls are associated to the frailty in the elderly. Other factors may influence this association, such as age, sex, data collection instrument of the studies, place where they live and the process of senescence.

“…It takes less than 4 minutes to be administered. The components of the RGA are the FRAIL for frailty (7)(8)(9)(10), SARC-F for sarcopenia (11)(12)(13)(14), SNAQ for anorexia (15)(16)(17)(18), and the Rapid Cognitive Screen (19,20). All these screening tools have been used worldwide and are currently available in up to 30 languages.…”

“…Studies have suggested that exercise and nutrition interventions can improve outcomes in frail older persons (72)(73)(74)(75). A rapid screen -the FRAIL -can be utilized both in hospitals (76,77) and in the outpatient setting (78)(79)(80)(81). A computerized algorithm has been developed to allow health professionals to recognize and treat frailty (82).…”
