Age-related Frailty

Age-related frailty is a condition common in older adults characterized by decreased strength, endurance, and overall resilience. It results from the natural decline of muscle mass, weaker immune function, and reduced bodily reserves, making individuals more vulnerable to illnesses, falls, and disability. Frailty develops gradually and is influenced by factors like chronic diseases, poor nutrition, and inactivity. Recognizing and managing frailty through exercise, proper nutrition, and medical care can help improve quality of life and maintain independence in older age.
