Health is the result of dynamic and complicated relationships and deals with non-liner and non-predictable procedures. Nowadays, the health section cannot solve its challenges alone. Changing the load of diseases toward non-communicable diseases all over the world including developing countries, and the fact that creating such diseases has complicated mechanisms and is dependent on several factors, made us to consider the importance of doing some health based interferences in other sections more
dominance of individual based models that centered on intrapersonal determinants on the field of health promotion , these models has been challenged for its limited value for the understanding of persons’ health (1-4).

found that need factors are the strongest determinant of health care utilization.[34] In this category it was found that multi-morbidity and poor perceived health status were the most important factors.This result was also consistent with international studies. The study also showed that enabling factors played a role in determining health care utilization, specifically for Emergency department utilization, poorer older adults tend to choose this health care service over others.

population and while the biology of frailty is generally understood, there exists major divergence of opinion in its conceptual definition, technicalities and operationalization.1 Its multidimensional nature impacts on the interconnected variables of health and quality of life (QOL) which has necessitated the development of multiple clinically applicable tools for the detection and quantification of frailty. Multidisciplinary approaches have been developed to manage its wide spectrum of effects. These
