Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThe manuscript "A prospective observational study of frailty in geriatric revitalization aimed at community-dwelling elderly" concerns a very crucial health problem of frailty syndrome that can be prevented or even reversed using the proper and systematically applied procedures. Besides a high-protein diet, a multitask training is a very efficient tool to approach the better level of physical and functional status as well better quality of life in elderly population.
A prospective observational study of a multicomponent exercise program for geriatric revitalization described in this paper contains a well-recruited and large enough group of 360 persons aged over 65 years in whom frailty levels were assessed with usage of the standardized tools. The program was developed long enough (over 30 weeks), with the proper intensity and frequency (three times a week, in sessions lasting 45-50 minutes each). The interesting results are presented in the clear and extensive manner.
The only remark: could the authors mention about the most commonly identified clinical conditions in the examined group and a percentage of multimorbidity cases?

Reviewer 3 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsHere the authors examine an exercise program that started in 1994.
I see no scientific novelty here. Yes. The authors did a lot of stastics, but I do not see the novelty of this work.
