Managing pre-frailty and frailty is crucial for maintaining the health and independence of older adults. Through “Systemic Approach to Frailty with a Focus on Pre-Frailty for Healthy and High-Quality Aging” project, Slovenia is establishing a systematic approach to identify and address frailty, while developing solutions to support preventive measures across healthcare and community levels. Key steps include integrating health and social care systems, strengthening health literacy, adapting and co-creating healthy living environments through a community-based approach and social participation, all essential for promoting healthier and higher-quality aging in the population.
This paper outlines the innovative conceptual and methodological approach to project development and its anticipated outcomes.
