    • Nonfatal chronic illness examples include asthma or hypertension.
    • Serious, eventually fatal chronic conditions include advanced cancer or heart failure.
    • Frailty is characterized by decreased strength, endurance, and reduced physiological function.
    • Acute illness describes a condition with a rapid onset and typically a short course.
