Analysis of the included studies shows a relationship between frailty and cognitive impairment in pwPD. There was significant variability in the application of the scales used, which influences the prevalence data. More observational and experimental studies are needed to provide more evidence on this association and to determine which is the optimal tool to identify frailty in pwPD using multidimensional scales.
