Frailty and quality of life are concepts that emerged in the second half of the 20th century. Frailty can be defined as a clinical syndrome of decreased physiological reserves and resistance against stressful events conferring high risk for adverse health outcomes, including loss of independence, falls, hospitalization, institutionalization and mortality. However, it is considered that frailty can potentially be prevented or treated with specific modalities. Quality of life has various definitions because of its subjective nature...

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis, also called the silent disease, affects the elderly with a significant contribution to their morbidity and mortality through fragility fractures. Most nations have developed their own guidelines on managing this condition. Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) are the highest quality evidence documents on a particular topic prepared by expert panels. CPGs offer standardised recommendations on a particular topic. METHODS: We looked at the CPGs of nations in the last five years and present the results of this review here...

Frailty is a clinical situation of decreased homeostatic reserve that, after a minor trigger (acute illness, fall, taking a drug...) increases the risk of an adverse event such as hospital admission, institutionalization, functional and/or cognitive decline, death, etc. Frailty can be understood as physical frailty, Fried's phenotype, a true geriatric syndrome that can be reversible by avoiding its progression to more advanced stages of irreversibility and dependence, and Rockwood's frailty due to accumulation of deficits, as a continuum of health or classification typology of the elderly along the frailty spectrum (healthy, robust, vulnerable, mild-moderate-severe and extreme frailty or end of life)...

Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are frequently misdiagnosed or under-recognized in the older population, leading to disease progression and reduced quality of life. This case of an 87-year-old woman with acute back pain highlights the importance of early diagnosis and management of fragility fractures. During the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, patients with a history of well-managed osteoporosis experienced worsening symptoms of vertebral collapse due to activity limitations and prolonged immobilization...

The present research focuses on the delicate and complex process of senilization of the population, being one of the most important anthropological and social problems of our time. These considerations lead us to examine not so much the aging process itself, but the relationship between the third age and society, focusing on the factors that promote or inhibit well-being and the relative perceptions that emerged in the sample. In this sense, an online questionnaire was administered, by email and by telephone message, over a period of approximately 10 months starting from March 2021 until December 2021...

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) are the most common fragility fracture and significantly influence the quality of life in the elderly. Currently, the literature lacks a comprehensive narrative review of the management of OVCFs. The purpose of this study is to review background information, diagnosis, and surgical and non-surgical management of the OVCFs. A comprehensive search of PubMed and Google Scholar for articles in the English language between 1980 and 2021 was performed. Combinations of the following terms were used: compression fractures, vertebral compression fractures, osteoporosis, osteoporotic compression fractures, vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, bisphosphonates, calcitonin, and osteoporosis treatments...

Cancer biomarker discovery is critically dependent on the integrity of biofluid and tissue samples acquired from study participants. Multi-omic profiling of candidate protein, lipid, and metabolite biomarkers is confounded by timing and fasting status of sample collection, participant demographics and treatment exposures of the study population. Contamination by hemoglobin, whether caused by hemolysis during sample preparation or underlying red cell fragility, contributes 0-10 g/L of extraneous protein to plasma, serum, and Buffy coat samples and may interfere with biomarker detection and validation...

Sarcopenia is a condition in which there is a loss of muscle caused by aging and it is one of the most significant factors that affects physical fragility. In recent years, the role of the gut-muscle axis has garnered attention as, along with the gut microbiota, it potentially plays a significant role in muscle regeneration, in addition to nutritional supplements and exercise training. Past studies have found that supplementation with Lactobacillus plantarum TWK10 could effectively increase the muscle mass of animals or adult humans...

Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in adults is due to a reduced growth hormone (GH) secretion by the anterior pituitary gland which leads to a well-known syndrome characterized by decreased cognitive function and quality of life (QoL), decreased bone mineral density (BMD), increased central adiposity with a reduction in lean body mass, decreased exercise tolerance, hyperlipidemia and increased predisposition to atherogenesis. Considering some similar features between aging and GHD, it was thought that the relative GH insufficiency of the elderly person could make an important contribution to the fragility of elderly...

Frailty is the major expression of accelerated aging and describes a decreased resistance to stressors, and consequently an increased vulnerability to additional diseases in elderly people. The vascular aging related to frail phenotype reflects the high susceptibility for cardiovascular diseases and negative postoperative outcomes after cardiac surgery. Sarcopenia can be considered a biological substrate of physical frailty. Malnutrition and physical inactivity play a key role in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia...

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is an age-related disease with progressive loss of bone, leading to fragile bone. It is one of the major health issues in older adults and causes medical, social and economic impacts globally. Patients with osteoporosis have high risk of osteoporotic fractures. Low-magnitude high-frequency vibration (LMHFV) is a non-invasive biophysical intervention providing whole-body mechanical stimulation. Previous studies showed that LMHFV is beneficial to muscle strength, postural control, balancing ability, new bone formation, spinal bone mineral density (BMD) and blood circulation...

BACKGROUND: Femoral neck fracture is a common type of hip fracture, which has a high morbidity and mortality. Surgical treatment is the first choice. However, the functional rehabilitation after operation has not been paid enough attention. In addition, the quality of exercise is difficult to quantify, and the rehabilitation is lack of standards. Therefore, the intelligent rehabilitation assistant system which could record exercise details, might be used to evaluate the quality and adherence to the prescribed exercise to this fragile group of patients has great relevance, so as to provide new ideas for postoperative rehabilitation of hip fracture...
