Frailty is a clinical syndrome characterized by diminished physiological reserves and increased vulnerability to stressors. While frailty has been largely studied in Alzheimer's disease, few study focused on Lewy body dementia (LBD). Beyond frailty, the World Health Organization recently highlights the concept of intrinsic capacity (IC), offering a promising framework for the early identification and intervention to mitigate the risk of frailty and disability in older adults. IC refers to an individual's physical and mental abilities (including five dimensions: sensory, psychology, locomotion, vitality and cognition), which support the maintenance of functional capacity and promote healthy aging. In this review, we aimed to describe the prevalence of IC decline in LBD and its potential consequences. While few studies focused specifically on this question, we found evidence in the literature of a higher prevalence of IC decline in LBD, compared to cognitively unimpaired older adults and to Alzheimer's disease patients. If future studies are needed to confirm these results, we assume that IC assessment and monitoring in LBD may be a further step towards a better integrated and personalized care for patients. This may open the avenue to develop specific tailored interventions, to decrease disability and increase quality of life and "healthy ageing" of patients despite the presence of LBD.
衰弱是一种临床综合征,其特征是生理储备减少,对应激源的易感性增加。虽然衰弱在阿尔茨海默病方面已有大量研究,但针对路易体痴呆(LBD)的研究较少。除了衰弱,世界卫生组织最近强调了内在能力(IC)的概念,为早期识别和干预以降低老年人衰弱和残疾风险提供了一个有前景的框架。IC指个体的身体和心理能力(包括五个维度:感官、心理、运动、活力和认知),这些能力支持功能能力的维持并促进健康老龄化。在本综述中,我们旨在描述LBD中IC下降的患病率及其潜在后果。虽然很少有研究专门关注这个问题,但我们在文献中发现证据表明,与认知未受损的老年人和阿尔茨海默病患者相比,LBD中IC下降的患病率更高。如果需要未来的研究来证实这些结果,我们认为对LBD进行IC评估和监测可能是朝着为患者提供更好的综合和个性化护理迈出的进一步举措。这可能为开发特定的量身定制的干预措施开辟道路,以减少残疾,提高患者的生活质量并实现“健康老龄化”,尽管存在LBD。
