The “White Book on Frailty”, endorsed by the International Association on Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG) / Global Aging Research Network (GARN), aims to promote preventive interventions against disability and to provide information on how to adequately implement frailty into everyday clinical practice. To this effect, it highlights current knowledge on the identification of target population, the assessment of frail old adult, and the development of tailored intervention programs. We now know that early detection and intervention is critical to addressing frailty at home, in the community and in hospital settings.
