Frailty
Plain English definition
From:
Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster
A condition that may develop as you get older and your body becomes less able to recover from illness or injury. It makes you more likely to become ill and to spend time in hospital. It is not an illness in itself, and is not the same as physical disability, although disability and frailty may overlap with each other.
