Abstract
Si les efforts de recherche ont conduit à mieux préciser la physiopathologie et la dynamique du processus de fragilisation, la définition opérationnelle de la fragilité est encore loin d'être univoque. L'objectif de cet article est, à partir des données existantes, d'apporter notre réflexion sur la pertinence des indicateurs opérationnels actuels de l'état de fragilité et de montrer que les marqueurs ou indicateurs cliniques sont insuffisants pour permettre de différencier le processus de fragilisation du vieillissement normal.
Even though the efforts in research have detailed the physiopathology and the dynamics of the frailty process further, an operational definition of frailty is still far from being unequivocal. Based upon existing knowledge, the aim of this article is to discuss the relevance of the current operational indicators of frailty in order to show that clinical markers or indicators are insufficient to differentiate the frailty process from normal ageing.
