Summary Sarcopenia, malnutrition, and polypharmacy are major causes of frailty in older people. Some frail older people become disabled through stroke, pneumonia, hip fracture, and other diseases. Sarcopenia, malnutrition, and polypharmacy tend to worsen disability in older people. Rehabilitation pharmacotherapy and rehabilitation nutrition are important to improve frailty and disability in older people under these circumstances.
