Frailty

Medical Clinics of North America, 2006
Frailty is a common condition in older people. It now can be objectively defined by the Fried criteria. When recognized, early intervention should begin with the institution of endurance, resistance, and balance exercises. In men with testosterone deficiency a trial of testosterone replacement should be considered.

Frailty: Prävention

DMW - Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift, 2023
The Frailty syndrome is usually related to the aging process and chronological age, but it is not an inevitable consequence of it - at least until the final phase of life. Primary care interventions that promote physical activity and nutrition can prevent the progression from pre-frailty to frailty.

FRAILTY AND COGNITION

Journal of Frailty & Aging, 2012
Frailty is a common, heterogeneous, geriatric syndrome associated with adverse health events. Over the last years, a growing debate has emerged concerning the inclusion of cognitive impairment in the definition of frailty. In fact, cognitive impairment has been increasingly recognized as a potential contributor to the clinical vulnerability of older ...

Frailty and Hormones

Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders, 2005
“To the three agencies of frugality, fresh air and no worries we would like to add. . . the great importance of the functions of the glands with internal secretion as a means of freeing our body from poisonous products, and thus preventing premature old age. . . on the reinforcement of their functions, if changed by age or disease, by means of extracts

NUTRITION AND 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 ...

Biomarkers of Frailty

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.

Lakartidningen, 2020
Frailty is a concept that is better than multimorbidity at identifying older people in need of special multidimensional care. Frailty denotes a state of accelerated biological aging in which the body gradually loses the ability to handle physical, mental and social stress.
