Introduction: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) provides potential cure to a large number of malignant and nonmalignant hematological disorders. With the development of non-myeloablative and reduced-intensity conditioning regimens, allogeneic HCT can nowadays be offered to a number of older or medically unfit patients. Up until the twenty-first century, chronological age was considered a hypothetical barrier. Recent reports, however, have shown that comorbidities, function, and other patient-related factors influence HCT outcomes at a higher magnitude than age alone. Areas covered: To define the eligibility of older or medically unfit patients for allogeneic HCT, a range of factors have to be considered. To solve this considerable issue, we need to further understand the mechanism and consequences of aging, such as chronic inflammation, sarcopenia, and especially the structure of frailty. Domains covering functional, physical, mental, social, nutritional, bone, and other health statuses should be evaluated and considered. Expert commentary: In this review we merge the current assessment tools with the potential approaches to objectify functional resources, as well as with possible methods to improve these resources in older or otherwise medically unfit patients prior to allogeneic HCT.
