Abstract

The aim of this thesis was to understand frailty assessment and its association with medicine use in an older Australian population. Frailty is a condition that has been shown to be associated with an increased risk of adverse health outcomes among the older population. While there is consensus on a definition of frailty, to date, there is no consensus on how to measure frailty.
