Frailty is a state of health with predisposition to adverse events, morbidity and mortality. Frailty consists of weakness, slowness, low physical activity, exhaustion, and wasting. Frailty is associated with increased hospitalizations and death in lung disease. It is unknown if pulmonary rehabilitation will improve frailty markers.
