Description
Frailty is a common geriatric syndrome that older adults face with age. Without interventions, people can become prone to adverse health outcomes and have increased risk of mortality. In this lecture, I will discuss the overview of frailty, the impact it has on the older adult population, and what healthcare professionals can do for their patients to prevent frailty and increase resilience.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to understand:
- Define frailty and how to assess patients for it.
- Discuss the importance of diagnosing frailty and the impact it can have on a patient's health.
- Provide interventions healthcare providers can give to geriatric patients to prevent frailty and increase resilience.
