Abstract:
Frailty is a multidimensional geriatric condition that increases vulnerability to stressors, increases the risk of negative health outcomes, and lowers quality of life in older people. It is becoming one of the most difficult challenges for health care in an aging society. However, little attention has been paid to frailty in developing countries, particularly in Ethiopia, which has not been addressed. Therefore, this study is crucial to clearly state the prevalence and identify the contributing factors of frailty.
