Yes, as the older an animal gets, the immune system weakens, therefore they're more susceptible to diseases and are more likely to die fighting them-as they have less energy too.
Do the elderly get frail?
The answer to this, generally, is yes. Everyone is different, but with age, bones begin to deteriorate, muscles weaken with disuse, and balance issues cause movement to be more difficult. Seniors over the age of 65 become more at risk for conditions like osteoporosis, and other conditions that weaken the bones and muscles. Also, when someone lacks the ability to move easily, they remain stationary most of the day because it's easier for them. This causes muscles to atrophy which makes them even weaker. The elderly become frail with age almost always (to what degree varies from person to person), and falls become more likely.
