Frail for elderly people?

[Mike2947]

Hi

Can I use adjective "frail" for seniors and elderly people who are weak and sometimes invalid?
"Elderly people are frail and need to be taken care."

Thank you!

Frail can be used for people who are frail -- as an adjective in your sentence, it is not appropriate. It's too much of a generalization: you're saying all people of a particular age are frail and need to be taken care of -- I would advise you to reconsider your sentence and your outlook.
