In this book, we propose a conceptual framework within which aging, frailty, and care are analyzed through the lens of complexity medicine. Therefore, we present a multidimensional perspective that takes into account biomedical, (neuro)psychological, and socio-ecological vulnerability. The theses presented are the result of an inductive approach, based on many years of experience in the field, which has made it possible to identify strategies for frailty recognition and effective responses even in complicated clinical settings. The book is intended to be a tool of concrete and easy consultation, rich in reflections and suggestions.Frailty in the Elderly Frail older peopleCareOlder peopleHealth and hygieneFrail older peopleCare.Older peopleHealth and hygiene.613.0438Palermo SaraNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910688591503321Frailty in the elderly2959146UNINA
