Synopsis

Frailty, a geriatric syndrome with a defined phenotype, was introduced by Linda Fried and Jeremy Walston; it is widely cited. The importance of this syndrome cannot be overstated: Frailty has an enormous relevance in clinical settings, and there are clear biological bases behind its phenotype. This book covers both biological and clinical aspects, including interactions with diseases like diabetes.

Key Features:

  • Summarizes the history and recognition of the Frailty Syndrome

  • Provides an update and summary of a fast-growing field

  • Describes how free radical and oxidative stress contributed to current theories

    • Documents the impact that nutrition and physical activity play in the emergence of frailty

    Leocadio Rodríguez Mañas (ORCID: 0000-0002-6551-1333). Head of the Geriatrics Service of the Getafe University Hospital (Madrid) and Scientific Director of the Spanish Center for Biomedical Research on Frailty and Healthy Aging (CIBERFES) (Ministry of Science and Innovation and Ministry of Health). Coordinator of the Toledo Study of Healthy Aging. His research has been mainly focused on frailty and functional decline and diabetes in older people, the mechanisms involved, its operational definition (diagnostics tools) and its management (RCTs), including the use of the technology in the covering of the different requirements of the older frail people or at risk of frailty. He has participated in the preparation of technical reports on these topics for national and international organizations
