Objectives: The aim of this non-interventional observational study was to determine the prevalence of frailty in a cohort of 200 elderly patients and its correlation and dependence in relation to nutritional status and to evaluate the correlation of the items in the MNA - SF and SPPB test batteries and determine whether the weight loss is related to poor results in the evaluation of geriatric frailty, and to evaluate whether cognitive function affects nutritional status and if nutritional status in such circumstances affects subjects' self- sufficiency. Methods: Data was sourced from the results of standardized tests in Comprehensive Geriatric, Assessment, CGA at the 1. LF UK Geriatric Clinic, which include the assessment of selfsufficiency (ADL) and condition (SPPB), cognitive functions (MMSE) and the assessment of nutritional status (MNA - SF). Patients were also measured for bodyweight, height and BMI. Results: The study included a total of 200 patients, of whom 46 (23%) were men and 154 women (77%). Geriatric frailty was diagnosed in 59.5% of patients, with 21.5% of patients being classified as "pre-frailty" and 19 % of good physical condition. In this group 15.5% of patients were malnourished, 37.5% were at risk of malnutrition and 47 % were in a good nutritional condition. A statistically...
