Prevalence of Physical Frailty: Results from the DO-HEALTH Study [PDF]
The Journal of Frailty & Aging, 2022 Background: Frailty is a geriatric syndrome associated with multiple negative health outcomes. However, its prevalence varies by population and instrument used. We investigated frailty and pre-frailty prevalence by 5 instruments in community-dwelling older adults enrolled to a randomized-controlled trial in 5 European countries.

Longitudinal changes of frailty in 8 years: comparisons between physical frailty and frailty index [PDF]
BMC Geriatrics, 2021 Abstract Background Few studies have made longitudinal comparisons between frailty phenotype (FP) and frailty index (FI) changes. We aimed to investigate frailty status changes defined by FP and FI concurrently, and to compare the associated factors and incident disability among different combination of FI and FP ...

PHYSICAL FRAILTY IN LIVER TRANSPLANTATION
Revista Española de Enfermedades Digestivas, 2020 In patients with cirrhosis, frailty represents a status of global physical dysfunction associated with a multiplicity of factors, including muscle wasting, undernutrition and malnutrition, and functional impairment. This condition is particularly prevalent among those with advanced cirrhosis, such as liver transplant (LT) candidates.

BMC Geriatrics, 2023 Background Physical activity is known to help prevent physical frailty, but it is not clear which physical activities practiced alone or in combination are most closely associated with a lower risk of physical frailty.

Physical Exercise as Therapy for Frailty [PDF]
, 2015 Longitudinal studies demonstrate that regular physical exercise extends longevity and reduces the risk of physical disability. Decline in physical activity with aging is associated with a decrease in exercise capacity that predisposes to frailty. The frailty syndrome includes a lowered activity level, poor exercise tolerance, and loss of lean body and ...

Inflammatory markers and incident frailty in men and women:the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing [PDF]
, 2013 Cross-sectional studies show that higher blood concentrations of inflammatory markers tend to be more common in frail older people, but longitudinal evidence that these inflammatory markers are risk factors for frailty is sparse and inconsistent.

Longitudinal Analyses Of Frailty Trajectories Among European Older Adults [PDF]
, 2023 Frailty is a common geriatric syndrome characterized by decreased adaptability to stressors and increased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes. Frailty is not simply about ageing, but is where ageing has taken its toll.

European Review of Aging and Physical Activity, 2023 Background Physical activity was known to be the protective factor against frailty. Technology acceptance is associated with behavioural intention to technology usage. Technology has been effective in promoting healthy behaviour of physical activity. The
