Association between Physical Frailty Subdomains and Oral Frailty in Community-Dwelling Older Adults

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021
This cross-sectional study aimed to demonstrate the association between physical frailty subdomains and oral frailty. This study involved community-dwelling older adults (aged ≥65 years).

Physical frailty in patients with systemic sclerosis

Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, 2022
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic disease characterized by autoimmunity, vasculopathy and fibrosis of several organs, such as skin, lungs, and heart. During the disease course, patients with SSc are prone to accumulating multiple organ damage and increasing their vulnerability to adverse outcomes.

Liver transplantation in the patient with physical frailty

Journal of Hepatology, 2023
Frailty is a decline in functional reserve across multiple physiological systems. A key component of frailty is sarcopenia, which denotes a loss of skeletal muscle mass and impaired contractile function that ultimately result in physical frailty. Physical frailty/sarcopenia are frequent and contribute to adverse clinical outcomes before and after liver

Frailty and heart response to physical activity

Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 2021
Although previous studies showed that frail older adults are more susceptible to develop cardiovascular diseases, the underlying effect of frailty on heart rate dynamics is still unclear. The goal of the current study was to measure heart rate changes due to normal speed and rapid walking among non-frail and pre-frail/frail older adults, and to ...

The Physics of Frailty

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1993
The contribution of frailty to human morbidity and mortality is immense. Yet it lacks a conceptual framework. By borrowing from the hypotheses provided by the thermophysicists, frailty can be understood in a way that both interrelates the relationship between form and function and provides medical science with an operational insight that yields ...

Functional Reach: A Marker of Physical Frailty

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1992
Objective To establish the concurrent validity of our new balance instrument, functional reach (FR = maximal safe standing forward reach), as a marker of physical frailty compared with other clinical measures of physical performance.

Sarcopenia as the Biological Substrate of Physical Frailty

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2015
Physical function decreases with aging, which may result in adverse outcomes (eg, disability, loss of independence, institutionalization, death). Physical function impairment is a common trait of frailty and sarcopenia. These two conditions, albeit highly common, have not yet received a unique operational definition, which has impeded their ...

Physical Exercise for Frailty and Cardiovascular Diseases

2020
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and frailty syndrome are major problems for successful aging. These conditions share many biological aspects, symptoms and adverse effects. Aerobic capacity and muscle strength, that are important characteristics for independence in daily activity, are markedly reduced in older adults with CVD and frailty.
