Background: Frailty as a biological syndrome of decreased reserve and resistance to stressors resulting from cumulative declines across multiple physiological systems and causing vulnerability to adverse outcomes Prevalence estimates of 7–16% have been reported in non-institutionalized, community-dwelling older adults. The occurrence of frailty increases incrementally with advancing age, and is more common in older women than men, and among those of lower socio-economic status. Frail older adults are at high risk for major adverse health outcomes, including disability, falls, institutionalization, hospitalization, and mortality. Objectives: 1) To assess the existence knowledge regarding the biological frailty syndrome among general population. 2) To evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching on knowledge regarding biological frailty syndrome among general population. 3) To associate the post test knowledge score with selected demographic variable. Material and Methods: Non-experimental design. Research approach: Descriptive evaluative approach. Sampling technique: Non-probability convenience sampling and sample size: 60 people. Result: The study shows that significant difference between pre-test and posttest knowledge scores interpreting effective planned teaching on knowledge regarding biological frailty syndrome among general population. Mean value of pre-test is 6.73 and post-test is 16.83 and standard deviation of pre-test is 1.413 and post-test is 1.251. The calculated t-value is 43.436 and p-value is 0.000. There was significant association of the posttest knowledge scores and selected demographic variables such as age and occupation. Conclusion: The study showed that the planned teaching on biological frailty syndrome among general population was effective in improving the knowledge of general population and thus helps them to understand the meaning.
