frailty assessment

Frailty assessment is a process used to evaluate an individual's overall health, particularly in older adults. It identifies physical, mental, and social vulnerabilities that can impact the ability to manage daily activities and maintain quality of life. Common methods include evaluating strength, walking speed, and energy levels, as well as assessing mood and social connections. The goal is to recognize those at risk of health decline, enabling healthcare providers to tailor interventions, support, and resources to enhance well-being and prevent complications. Understanding frailty helps in promoting healthier aging and improving individual care.
