The Russian clinical guidelines "Arterial hypertension in adults" (2020) contain a statement according to which elderly (≥65 years) patients should be screened for frailty using "Vozrast ne pomeha" (verbatim – "Age is not a hindrance") questionnaire, since the identification of frailty can affect drug treatment strategy and level of target blood pressure. The paper presents a critical analysis of this statement, which shows that recommendation to use "Vozrast ne pomeha" questionnaire for frailty screening is insufficiently evidence based and does not fully take into account the problem of geriatric care availability.
