Abstract:
The coexistence of physical frailty and cognitive dysfunction is common in the elderly, and the concept of cognitive frailty has strengthened the relationship between the two. Cognitive frailty can lead to adverse health outcomes such as dementia, falls, disability and even death in the elderly. Therefore, early identification and active intervention are very important for elderly patients with cognitive frailty. This article reviews the concept, evaluation tools, pathogenesis and intervention measures of cognitive frailty. This article points out that medical and nursing staff should pay attention to and identify the state of cognitive frailty in the elderly as soon as possible, and actively carry out early intervention to improve the health and quality of life of the elderly, and at the same time provide a reference for the development of related research on cognitive frailty.
