Frailty represents a state of heightened vulnerability. Mobility impairment contributes to the construct of frailty and channels adverse events. While mobility disorder is universal at a high burden of frailty, neither mobility nor balance dysfunction is sufficient to fully define frailty.

Journal of Frailty & Aging, 2015
Aging can be defined as a process of advancing frailty due to a progressive reduction of functional reserves of organs and systems. It is characterized by a continuous reduction of homeostatic capacity, in particular in response to internal and external cues, leading to a consequent increase in morbidity and ...

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition & Metabolic Care, 2019
Disability and its preceding condition, frailty, are outstanding issues for achieving healthy aging. Diabetes is a very prevalent chronic disease among older patients that favours frailty status. This review will analyse the relationship between diabetes and frailty in the elderly and summarize the current strategies to improve physical function in ...

Kinecting Frailty: A Pilot Study on Frailty
2018Most elderly people wish to live independently at home, but are at risk of social isolation, inactivity, low mood, falls and increased frailty. To keep them safe at home without unnecessary, expensive hospitalisations we will investigate a new eHealth application using the Microsoft Kinect.

Molecular Aspects of Medicine
Several biomarkers have been proposed to identify frailty, a multisystemic age-related syndrome. However, the complex pathophysiology and the absence of a consensus on a comprehensive and universal definition make it challenging to pinpoint a singular biomarker or set of biomarkers that conclusively characterize frailty.

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2016
Surgery in people aged over 65 years has led to many postoperative gains, although mortality and morbidity is higher than in younger counterparts. The problem is the vulnerability that comes with age, so these patients with complex needs require multidisciplinary care for the best outcomes.

Transplantation, 2016
Consequences of aging are gaining clinical relevance. In transplantation, aging and immunosenescence impact treatment and outcomes. The impact of aging, however, will critically depend on distinguishing healthy, chronological aging from biological aging that may result into frailty. Approximately 15% of individuals older than 65 years are frail, and it

From the moment of birth, the human body plays host to a rich diversity of microbes. Body sites such as the skin, the gut and the mouth support communities of microorganisms (collectively known as the microbiome) that are both numerous and diverse.

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1997
Although estrogen replacement therapy has become well established in the management of postmenopausal women, most physicians pay much less attention to the testosterone status of their older male patients. There is now increasing evidence that testosterone deficiency-Low Testosterone Syndrome-occurs in older men and is associated with decreased muscle ...

Digestive and Liver Disease, 2018
Frailty, which is a syndrome that encompasses losses in physical, psychological and social domains, is responsible for enhanced vulnerability to endogenous and/or exogenous stressors. Frailty is a public health problem for an ageing society; however, it is poorly understood and often under-recognised in clinical settings.
