      The focus of 4 of the articles is older people with multimorbidity in a nursing home or hospital setting, and the other 2 include older people living in their own homes with frailty or pre frailty, and older people with subjective memory complaints (who were not frail). They have a distinctly international flavor with groups from Japan, Finland, Germany, Spain, and the United States.
