“…The results of the 5-COOP study confirm that frailty involves a majority of centenarians in a much larger sample and are in line with the above-mentioned studies [9,15,20,24]. This very high prevalence of frailty in centenarians raises the question of whether an additional category corresponding to people having 4-5 frailty criteria should be distinguished in order to discriminate "very frail" or "super-frail" people from frail people (still not dependent in ≥2 ADL for 25% of them).…”

“…A meta-analysis of Japanese studies estimated the prevalence of frailty at 35% among 407 community-dwelling people aged 85 years and over [24]. A French study among 512 nonagenarians reported that 54% of the participants met the criteria for frailty, in the absence of disability in half of them [9]. In 2014, a Portuguese study estimated the prevalence of frailty at 60% in a sample of 50 centenarians [25].…”

“…The "frailty syndrome," which was defined in the early 2000s, can help to better describe the heterogeneity of health states in the oldest old [9]. Frailty is defined as an increased vulnerability to stressors, resulting from a decrease in physiological reserves of multiple systems.…”

Background: The global number of centenarians is still strongly growing and information about the health and healthcare needs of this segment of the population is needed. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of frailty among centenarians included in a multinational study and to investigate associated factors. Methods: The 5-COOP study is a cross-sectional survey including 1,253 centenarians in 5 countries (Japan, France, Switzerland, Denmark, and Sweden). Data were collected using a standardized questionnaire during a face-to-face interview (73.3%), telephone interview (14.5%), or by postal questionnaire (12.2%). The 5 dimensions of the frailty phenotype (weight loss, fatigue, weakness, slow walking speed, and low level of physical activity) were assessed by using self-reported data. Factors associated with frailty criteria were investigated by using multivariate regression models. Results: Almost 95% of the participants had at least 1 frailty criterion. The overall prevalence of frailty (3 criteria or more) was 64.7% (from 51.5% in Sweden to 77.6% in Switzerland), and 32.2% of the participants had 4 or 5 criteria. The most frequent criteria were weakness (84.2%), slow walking speed (77.6%), and low level of physical activity (72.5%), followed by fatigue (43.8%) and weight loss (23.8%). Factors associated with frailty included data collection modes, country of residence, gender, living in institution, depression, dementia, disability, falls, and sensory impairments. Conclusions: This study shows that reaching 100 years of age rarely goes without frailty and sheds light on factors associated with frailty at a very old age.

“…Aging Clinical and Experimental Research should also consider to publish more work on the role of environmental factors because the revolution of adult longevity is leading to an accumulation of very old people presenting an increased vulnerability to environmental stresses [8]. For all these reasons, gerontology journals should play a central role in the publication of work on the effect that environmental factors can have on health.…”

The number of individuals aged sixty and older is expected to increase from 605 million in 2000 to over two billion in 2050. As a consequence the number of elderly medicare beneficiaries likely to be frail will triple. Our study explored the factors of successful aging in a sample of nonagenarians with no cognitive impairment, temporarily admitted to a rehabilitation hospital complex, with regard to quality of life, mood, clinical and cognitive conditions and personality traits. It was a descriptive study with forty nonagenarians of both genders, with no cognitive impairment, no psychiatric diseases and forty two younger patients with similar diseases and socio-demographic conditions, but aged <90. The sample was recruited randomly among patients temporarily admitted to Beata Vergine Consolata Rehabilitation Hospital Complex from 2009 to 2015. The nonagenarians examined showed common personality traits, better mood, Population Ageing
