Background: There is a high prevalence of common geriatric problems (falls, urinary incontinence, visual and hearing impairment) among frail elderly leading to more disability and functional impairment. Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the prevalence of common geriatric problems between frail and non-frail elderly.  Design: A Case control study. Participants: 90 participants aged 60 years and above. They were selected from Ain Shams University Hospital from inpatient wards and outpatient clinics. The studied sample was divided into 2 groups: Group A (30 frail elderly females and 30 frail elderly males) and Group B (30 healthy elderly subjects; 15 males and 15 females).Measurements: Comprehensive geriatric assessment, including detailed history of common geriatric problems as mentioned above, physical examination, and also assessment of frailty using modified Fried criteria ]. Results: Hearing impairment, incontinence and falls were more prevalent in frail elderly with a highly difference between the two groups, with p values< (0.001,0.009,0.006) consequently, visual impairment was statistically significant in cases more than controls with p value (0.012). Conclusion: There is a significant positive relationship and high prevalence of common geriatric problems especially falls, urinary incontinence, visual and hearing impairment among frail elderly.
