Abstract

Key summary pointsAim We aim to investigate the association between frailty and orthostatic intolerance syndrome (OIS) with or without orthostatic blood pressure changes (OBPC). Findings Our results show that OIS, both self-reported and provoked during the test, is strongly associated with frailty. Message This study shows that OIS is an important marker for clinical reflection of frailty.
