Abstract

Frailty is a syndrome of increased vulnerability with adverse outcomes, increasing with age for elderly people. So far, intervention programs have mainly addressed the physical components of frailty. As biographical writing approaches have shown positive effects on cognition and health, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a biographical disclosure intervention on psychological frailty and health in older adults.
