Active and healthy ageing is a construct of growing relevance. In its psychological aspect, clinical (cognitive and emotional), functional, cultural and socio-familial aspects must be included, as well as different demographic and lifestyle variables. Among the objectives of the group is the assessment and intervention throughout the life cycle, including the optimisation of their development, both of the persons or patients involved and their family environment, carers, etc., especially in the cognitive, emotional, functional and lifestyle areas. Within frailty in ageing, the topic of cognitive frailty and the variables involved in it is of particular interest.
