Abstract

The paper considers the prevalence of frailty syndrome (FS) among older people in Mongolia, the residents of urban and rural areas. The study involved 1,610 patients. FS was detected in 22.1% of elderly patients. The prevalence of FS increases with age: 6.5% in 55-64-year-old women and 60-64-year-old men and 94.0% in patients older than 85 years. At the same time, mild FS is significantly more common in the first age group (55-64-year-old women and 60-64-year-old men), moderate and severe FS was seen in the 75-84-year-old group.
