2022, Expert Systems with ApplicationsCitation Excerpt :The World Health Organization defines healthy ageing as “the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables well-being in older age” (WHO, 2021). The regular practice of physical exercise improves the functional capacity of elderly people (Lazarus, Izquierdo, Higginson, & Harridge, 2018) and delays adverse events usually associated with frailty, a clinical syndrome characterized by the vulnerability of the individual and the considerable risk to develop negative health-related events as disability (Rodríguez-Mañas et al., 2013). The combination of strength, resistance, balance and flexibility training in physical routines has shown great improvements in functional capacity (de Asteasu, Martinez-Velilla, Zambom-Ferraresi, Casas-Herrero, & Izquierdo, 2017; Izquierdo, 2019).
Analysis of readmissions data among frail and non-frail patients presenting for acoustic neuroma
2022, Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :Dietary changes, namely increasing consumption of fruits, vegetables, and protein has been shown to be an effective way to combat frailty [29]. Furthermore, exercise with focus on muscle and resistance training, as well as gait and balance retraining, has been shown to markedly improve frailty status [30–31]. Moving forward, evaluating clinical frailty is of great value when determining treatment options and evaluating risk of undergoing surgery when other avenues may be available.
