Objective: To evaluate the existence of frailty in elderly participants of a Community Center in the city of
Campina Grande/PB. Method: This is a descriptive cross-sectional survey conducted with 83 elderly aged 60
or more. We used a semi-structured questionnaire evaluating four of the five items of the phenotype produced
