Frailty and SARS-CoV-2 infection. A population-based study in a highly endemic village

• Data on the association between frailty and SARS-CoV-2 infection is inconsistent. • There are no studies addressing if frail subjects are more prone to acquire SARS-CoV-2 infection. • We assessed the relationship between previously diagnosed frailty and SARS-CoV-2 in older adults. • Frailty does n...

description • Data on the association between frailty and SARS-CoV-2 infection is inconsistent. • There are no studies addressing if frail subjects are more prone to acquire SARS-CoV-2 infection. • We assessed the relationship between previously diagnosed frailty and SARS-CoV-2 in older adults. • Frailty does not predispose to SARS-CoV-2 infection in community-dwelling older adults. • Lack of confinement to retirement homes probably accounts for our findings.
