Frailty but not sarcopenia nor malnutrition increases the risk of developing COVID-19 in older community-dwelling adults.

Despite some limitations in the methodology of this study (i.e., limited sample size, COVID-19 incidence self-reported and not assessed systematically using objective measurements) requiring careful  consideration, an increased risk to develop COVID-19 was observed in the presence of the frailty syndrome. Further investigations are needed to elaborate on our findings.
