Physical frailty is a physiological syndrome of older people. It is characterized by a reduced reserve, a reduced stressor resistance, and vulnerability to negative health outcomes. The assessment of physical frailty is increasingly applied to identify high risk patients prior to medical or surgical interventions. The present article describes Fried's frailty phenotype, which is the most frequently applied diagnostic instrument of physical frailty, together with evidence based treatment options.
身体虚弱是老年人的一种生理综合征。其特征是储备能力下降、应激源抵抗力降低以及易出现不良健康后果。身体虚弱评估越来越多地应用于在医疗或手术干预之前识别高危患者。本文介绍了弗里德虚弱表型，它是身体虚弱最常用的诊断工具，同时还介绍了基于证据的治疗方案。
