Sarcopenia in Physical Frailty
2019A context that is overall featuring social and economic changes, improvement in technology, progress in medicine, and better public health care is favorable to a worldwide increase in the elderly population aged over 65 years (Christensen et al., 2009). Prevention in the case of disability proves essential as aging could lead to permanent incapacities (

Prevention of physical frailty
Proceedings of 18th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2002Aging is associated with continuous changes in strength and physical functioning. Different factors contribute to these changes at different ages. For discussion purposes, it is useful to identify 4 adult stages that lay the ground work for disability: (1) Early adulthood where maximal performance is reached, (2) Late early adulthood where earliest ...

Physical demands at work and physical activity are associated with frailty in retirement
Work, 2022BACKGROUND: The relationship between occupational physical activity and frailty is complex and understudied. OBJECTIVE: We explore whether moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in retirement and main lifetime occupation physical demands (OPD) are associated with frailty in retirement. METHODS: Retired adults aged 50 + who participated in waves 3-4

Physical activity and exercise as countermeasures to physical frailty and sarcopenia
Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 2017The identification of cost-effective interventions that improve the health status and prevent disability in old age is one of the most important public health challenges. Regular physical activity is the only intervention that has consistently been shown to improve functional health and energy balance and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease ...

Moving against frailty: does physical activity matter?
Biogerontology, 2010 Frailty is a common condition in older persons and has been described as a geriatric syndrome resulting from age-related cumulative declines across multiple physiologic systems, with impaired homeostatic reserve and a reduced capacity of the organism to ...

PHYSICAL FRAILTY IN LIVER TRANSPLANTATION.
2021In patients with cirrhosis, frailty represents a status of global physical dysfunction caused by undernutrition, muscle wasting and functional impairment. It is a prevalent condition in liver transplant (LT) candidates and has shown to be an independent predictor of adverse outcome.

[Therapy of physical frailty].
Deutsche medizinische Wochenschrift (1946)As an overarching geriatric syndrome, frailty describes a potentially reversible transitional stage between functional autonomy and irreversible disability. Thus, frailty addresses a "window of opportunity" in which functional limitations can be successfully treated.

Physical Function and Frailty in HIV.
Topics in antiviral medicine, 2021Aging is associated with declines in physical function that can be influenced by many factors, including HIV. These limitations may manifest as increased vulnerability to stressors, or frailty. Functional limitations and frailty can be used to guide clinical decisions, protect people from harm, and avoid strategies that are not likely to provide ...

[Diagnosis and Treatment of Physical Frailty].
Deutsche medizinische Wochenschrift (1946), 2017Physical frailty is a physiological syndrome of older people. It is characterized by a reduced reserve, a reduced stressor resistance, and vulnerability to negative health outcomes. The assessment of physical frailty is increasingly applied to identify high risk patients prior to medical or surgical interventions.
